I make no excuses—I loooooove the Fuse show Billy on the Street (Fridays, 10 pm) where comedian Billy Eichner picks random people in public to play bizarre game-show style contests. BUT CHECK THIS OUT! In the latest episode, Billy commissions former SNL funny gal Rachel Dratch to run the “Julia Roberts Obstacle Course” which is laden with tons of references to most of Julia’s absolutely terrible movies. Is it fun? YES! Is it exciting? YES! And does Rachel have to crawl through a giant burrito to find a picture of James Gandolfini in a huge pile of guacamole? YES, YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!!

THAT WAS VERY EXCITING, I WILL BE SHOUTING FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.
