Billy on the Street Heads to Hulu

SANTA MONICA: Turner’s truTV has signed an SVOD agreement with Hulu that will see the variety sketch show Billy on the Street become available on the streaming service.

Produced by Funny Or Die, Billy on the Street looks on as comedian Billy Eichner quizzes unsuspecting people on the street, often with a celebrity accomplice. All 42 episodes of the show, which airs on truTV, will begin streaming on Hulu as of July 10. The entire fifth season will launch on the service next year after its full run on truTV.

“As an incredibly popular and creatively inventive show in truTV’s portfolio, Billy on the Street has cultivated a passionate fan base that actively seeks out the show and embraces Billy’s unique comedic talent and obsession with pop culture,” said Chris Linn, the president of truTV. “This partnership with Hulu gives us a great opportunity to both super-serve those existing fans and also introduce the show and our network to new audiences.”

“I’m so excited that full episodes of Billy on the Street are finally available to stream on Hulu,” added Eichner. “Now Billy on the Street fans can watch the full half-hour episodes whenever they need a fix!”
