New York —
It’s a hot summer afternoon in Greenwich Village, and Billy Eichner is coming face-to-face with the nuisance he created.
To his right, a young man is shooting on his iPhone while his friend interviews a bemused passerby. Behind him, a woman is holding up a whiteboard and asking New Yorkers about their lives. These days, walking through the center of a major city means fielding interview requests from would-be influencers. And it might be this man’s fault.
“I’m so proud of what I’ve spawned,” Eichner jokes as he sidesteps one content creator. “Where’s my Mark Twain Award for American Comedy?”
