Season Analysis: Billy on the Street still makes me laugh more than anything else, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Best Episode: Episode 6 (1/25/13)
I was not planning on picking a best episode of the season for Billy, because it is not exactly a show that makes sense to think of on an episode-by-episode basis.  But then Episode 6 of Season 2 happened, and it was undoubtedly the most satisfying half hour thus far of the entire series.  It featured excellent editions of “For a Dollar” and “Lightning Round,” as well as the best “Quizzed in the Face” contestant of the season – Samantha, who likes black guys – as well as the best celebrity guest – Nas, who stopped by for a round of “Media Mogul or Rabbi.”

Here are some other highlights from the season:

Best prize: A big picture of James Franco and Anne Hathaway hosting the Oscars

“And it had a picture of Superman on it.”
“I love Superman.”
“And he said, and it said on the thing, ‘May you have a Super Valentine’s Day.’  In other words, if I’m gonna find someone, it’s gonna be from another f***in’ galaxy.”
