Plot Synopsis

Comedian Billy Eichner walks the streets of the city, giving New Yorkers the chance to win money by correctly answering pop-culture questions. In his "For a Dollar" game, Billy runs up to random people on the street asking them easy trivia questions, like "Name three white people," or daring them to perform a simple task, like "Hide behind a bush." In a second game, "Quizzed in the Face," a person on the street answers three rounds of questions. If the contestant gets three questions wrong, the game is over and the person wins no money. If someone can't answer a question, they can beg a stranger, tweet Billy's Twitter followers or text a woman for help. Each of the first two rounds features three multiple-choice questions, with correct answers worth $50 (1st round) and $100 (2nd round) each. These first two rounds include multiple-choice questions like: What is the name of the Disney Channel show that made a star out of Miley Cyrus; What is the name of a popular Jay-Z/Alicia Keys duet?; MAD MEN stars which critically acclaimed actor?; Which of the following locations plays host to a spin-off of CSI?; Matt Damon won on Oscar in which category?; Which of the following movies made the most money at the box office?; Who is absolutely amazing on THE OFFICE? By answering one subjective question in the last round, the contestant wins everything or loses half the money -- and the player only wins if he or she shares Billy's opinion about music, movies and TV. The last round features questions like: What is the best Christmas movie of all time? (ELF); Who's better Kate Winslet or Kate Hudson? (Kate Winslet). Plus, Billy plays the Lightning Round, offering people the chance to win small amounts of cash by quickly answering questions.
