truTV has cancelled Billy on the Street after five seasons. The cabler has opted not to renew the Billy Eichner comedy game show for Season 6.
About Billy on the Street:
Funny Or Die’s Billy on the Street with Billy Eichner is a pop culture game show that follows unfiltered and unapologetic comedian Billy Eichner as he hits the streets of New York City to test unsuspecting passersby. Billy gives contestants the chance to win cash and other prizes by playing games such as “Quizzed in the Face,” with lifeline options to “Beg a Stranger” or “Compliment His Hair.” Other games could include “Dead or Boring?” and “Name 20 White People in 30 Seconds.”
Billy on the Street is cancelled on truTV, but Eichner insists the show will find life elsewhere:
For those asking, yes BILLY ON THE STREET will be back! But we’re shifting gears a bit…exciting things ahead…more will be revealed soon!
We have had a fantastic, life changing, Emmy nominated time working with my friends @truTV & I can’t thank them enough. They’re the best.

Will Billy on the Street find a new home for Season 6, or is it all talk? Stay tuned. In the meantime:
RIP.

Billy up my ass was about as funny as dry shit on a stick.
Yup says
Absolutely horrible show… the tv persona of Billy was on par with the likability of Charles Mason… sure SOME fell for it, but most were really turned off by it. This should have NEVER made it to air in the first place.
Bill says
Billy on the street was awesome
I hope another station picks it up .
