From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Billy on the Street, pretty much the only YouTube channel worth subscribing to, has been doing God’s work frantically running around New York hysterically informing pedestrians about very serious showbiz matters.
The latest season has seen host Billy Eichner joined by Aziz Ansari, Andy Samberg, Lupita N’yongo and Seth Rogen, with his latest guest being 10-year-old wunderkind Jacob Tremblay.
The pair stop random passers-by to remind them that the Room actor is already more successful than them.
The segment is particularly hilarious when other children are brought into the mix:
“What does your kid have?”
“Straight As?”
“What do I care? The New York Times said [Jacob] was ‘fragile and buoyant.’”
Asking another kid what they do:
“Oh I’m just a normal child.”
“YIKES.”
Eichner has proved himself a master satirist of Hollywood - I really hope they let him host the Golden Globes soon.
