What's worse: Not being recognised by someone, or being recognised as the wrong person?

In the Jimmy Kimmel Live! clip above, Billy Eichner – Mufasa star and host of Billy on the Street – tells a story of being at the same Oscars afterparty as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. The latter came up to him at the bar, only to excitedly address him as "Jimmy on the Street" by mistake.

The solution that Eichner and Kimmel come up with? An episode of Billy on the Street with both Kimmel and Kelce. It needs to happen.
