Revisiting his "Billy on the Street" persona, Eichner has run through Hollywood with Jack Black shouting, "I need allies!" “I think Sylvester Stallone would love ‘Bros.’” Meryl Streep?

Good afternoon, Chicago. Here's what is happening today.

Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical coming-of-age drama “The Fabelmans” won the Toronto International Film Festival’s top prize, the People’s Choice Award, solidifying its early status as Academy Awards frontrunner.

The comedian and star of "Billy on the Street" is the first openly gay man to co-write and star in a gay romantic comedy for a major movie studio. He talks about why it's taken so long for Hollywood to produce a rom-com featuring an all-LGBTQ principal cast.

When the 47th Toronto International Film Festival unfolds beginning Thursday, it will follow two editions that were much diminished by the pandemic.

I was really intoxicated by it,” says Eichner, who grew up in Queens with middle-class parents who encouraged his passion. And, yes, ‘Billy on the Street’ was a way of poking fun at my own obsession with the entertainment industry." The initial germ was to go further with a "Billy on the Street" sketch where Eichner acted as a Jets jersey-wearing sports bro with Jason Sudeikis.

The initial germ was to go further with a "Billy on the Street" sketch where Eichner acted as a Jets jersey-wearing sports bro with Jason Sudeikis. Like “Billy on the Street,” it's frequently laugh-out-loud funny and packed with keen observations about Hollywood — a Hollywood where, until now, a film like “Bros” was essentially an impossibility. But with “Bros,” Eichner may have genuinely done so — probably for many others but definitely for himself.
