Billy Eichner Accuses Ross Mathews of Ripping Off 'Billy on the Street'

The two show hosts are embroiled in a Twitter feud over a CapitalOne commercial in which Mathews quizzes pedestrians with a trivia game. Eichner tweeted of the video, "I usually ignore but this one is SHAMELESS and PATHETIC."

Billy Eichner and Ross Mathews traded insults Friday on Twitter over a CapitalOne commercial starring Mathews that bears similarities to Eichner's Billy on the Street.

Eichner called out both CapitalOne and Mathews in a tweet, calling the commercial yet another "ripoff" of his truTV show. "I usually ignore but this one is SHAMELESS and PATHETIC. (And not funny)," he wrote. Another follow-up tweet read, "Don't steal from my f—ing show. This is stolen intellectual property. F— YOU."

It’s time for street trivia! Hint: @helloross has some trick questions up his sleeve.https://t.co/SMJDruUako — Capital One (@CapitalOne) June 16, 2016

In the spot, Mathews plays a trivia game with pedestrians about CapitalOne's credit card options, Quicksilver and Venture. The talk-show host took to Twitter himself to address Eichner's accusations, writing in response: "I've been doing man on the street interviews since 2001. I've never even seen your stuff. Bless your heart."

Mathews also tweeted, "I came before you. I agree you're funnier, but you're also a dick."

Hey @CapitalOne & @helloross - don't steal from my fucking show. This is stolen intellectual property. FUCK YOU. #GoodbyeRoss — billy eichner (@billyeichner) June 17, 2016

@billyeichner Are you serious? I've been doing man on the street interviews since 2001. I've never even seen your stuff. Bless your heart. — Ross Mathews (@helloross) June 17, 2016

.@billyeichner accuses me of stealing man on the street segments from him, but I started doing it on TV 15 years ago. Do the math. — Ross Mathews (@helloross) June 17, 2016

Just googled @billyeichner to watch some of his stuff for the first time. He's funny! Wish he was nice, too. — Ross Mathews (@helloross) June 17, 2016

Life is short and I will not be getting into a Twitter feud with ROSS THE INTERN of all people. Here's a fun video: https://t.co/QU7bEKSjhs — billy eichner (@billyeichner) June 17, 2016
