Even before joining "Parks and Recreation" as Craig Middlebrooks, Billy Eichner was already a rising star of American television comedy thanks to his offbeat game show "Billy on the Street," which followed him as he took to the streets of New York City to quiz random pedestrians on a slew of pop culture-related subjects. "Billy on the Street" premiered on Fuse in 2011, and Eichner continued to host it for two more years after the conclusion of "Parks," with the show's final two seasons airing on truTV.
In addition to "Billy on the Street," which became popular and recognizable enough to inspire everything from an "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" guest spot to a segment at the 66th Primetime Emmys, Eichner has remained prolific on scripted television, with roles on both comedic and dramatic series. Between 2015 and 2017, he starred on Hulu's acclaimed "Difficult People" alongside Julie Klausner, with the two playing a pair of cynical New York comedians and best friends. This was followed up by Netflix's "Friends from College," which aired between 2017 and 2019: Eichner recurred as Dr. Felix Forzenheim, the fiancé of Max Adler (Fred Savage). Eichner has also joined the Ryan Murphy-verse, appearing on "American Horror Story: Cult" as Harrison Wilton and on "American Horror Story: Apocalypse" as both Brock and Mutt Nutter, in addition to taking up the role of Drudge Report creator Matt Drudge on "Impeachment: American Crime Story."
