“Billy on the Street” tries to strike gold on a new segment with the help of James Corden

“Comedians sit silently with Chrissy Teigen” might make for compelling TV, actually, but it’s unclear what it might have to do with Billy Eichner.

Billy knows that James Corden has struck gold with his “Carpool Karaoke” segment, and he wants Corden’s help in crafting his own hit sketch. To that end, Billy and Corden struck out to the LA streets (to help Billy get out of his comfort zone, they say jokingly), and Billy yells his ideas for segments at random passers-by, using Corden as bait to draw them in. It works pretty well, though Billy’s ideas could really use some polish.

Good luck finding that golden segment, Billy. In the meantime, we’ll stick with “Carpool Karaoke.”
