Billy Eichner resurrecting his Billy on the Road sequence with Will Ferrell within the remaining days of Kamala Harris‘ 2024 presidential marketing campaign has drawn over 12 million social media views in 24 hours.
The three minute-plus Billy on the Road with Will Ferrell: Loud White Males for Kamala video bowed on Oct. 29 on Eichner’s social media feeds. The section options Eichner and Ferrell speaking to passersby on the streets of New York Metropolis in a bid to drive up voting for Harris and working mate Tim Walz forward of the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election.
The two comedian actors with raised voices encourage New York pedestrians to vote and volunteer for the Harris marketing campaign — or, per a word from Eichner’s publicist, to “do everything we possibly can to protect Americans from Donald Trump in these crucial final days of Early Voting and exactly one week before Election Day.”
The early response to the viral road quiz present revival isn’t shocking given Ferrell’s earlier appearances on Billy on the Road earned over 100 million views throughout social media. The new episode was made potential in a partnership with Vote Save America and Swing Left, amongst different contributors.
The Billy on the Road revival follows the sequence airing for 5 seasons on cable TV — three on Fuse and a remaining two on TruTV. The sequence elevated Eichner’s profile and led to Bros., the 2022 homosexual romantic comedy from Common and director Nicholas Stoller. It’s been over two years since Eichner resurrected his man-on-the-street franchise in a one-off bid to advertise his movie Bros. “Will there be more? Maybe on special occasions,” he mentioned on the time. “I’m never going to do it as much as I used to. … But you never know. One might pop up here and there when the time is right.”
Ferrell has not been quiet this election cycle, both. Earlier, the Harris-Walz marketing campaign posted a video of Ferrell imploring one apathetic voter, “Gary,” to recollect to vote.
