The Briefing with Jen Psaki · Jen Psaki in conversation with actor and author Billy Eichner · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

And I remember being in the back of a line of hundreds of actors at this open call for like this Delaware summer theater production of Brigadoon or something like that.

Something I didn't even want to be in, but I wanted to get the part.

And I never got the part.

And I remember thinking, you know, so many guys on this line, they're hot.

I bet they're good actors.

Everyone had gone to a good school.

Everyone had gone to NYU or Northwestern or Carnegie Mellon or one of these good theater schools.

I thought to myself, I bet they're good actors.

I bet they're good singers.

How do I differentiate myself?

And I thought to myself, well, what's the most rare skill that I have?

And I thought, well, people say that I'm funny, like they think I'm funny.

And so that's when I go to sort of lean into comedy and I take stand-up comedy classes and improv classes.

I go to Upright Citizens Brigade and then eventually start writing the show I talked about, which is where the Billy on the Street videos started.

But at Northwestern, I was not, I was funny, but I was funny in a play.

I wasn't, they have a huge improv scene that I wanted nothing to do with.

Interestingly enough, yeah.

Yes.

So, you know, I had an older dad.

He was much older than my mom.
