Not evenBilly on the Streetcould ignore our tempestuous political climate.

In fact, season 5 of Billy Eichners decibel-shattering truTV game show embraced it.

Ive always been interested in politics.

Those turned out to be some of our most popular and acclaimed segments this year.

Im really proud of that.

The Super Sloppy, Semi-Automatic Double Dare!

I always want to lead with comedy, even when it comes to more serious topics.

I dont think that the segments would be as effective if they werent funny.

See all of EWsEmmys coveragehere.

What inspired that one?The idea of an actress having a moment is an enduring theme.

It looks incredible, and of course, Rachel Dratch is just hilarious every single second.

Five seasons in, does creating this show get any easier?No.

Its been five years worth of 90-degree summers in New York.

Its taken a lot out of me, but I also love it.
