Much of his show revolves around him running up to strangers and quizzing them about their pop culture knowledge.
Last night, Eichner took this bit to a new level and proved that most teenagers haven't gotten around to watching HBO's hit new documentary series, "The Jinx."
The comedian, who has already made a lot of jokes about accused murderer Robert Durst, the subject of "The Jinx," was a presenter at last night's iHeart Radio Music Awards.
To a crowd described mainly as "teens," Eichner began listing the names of the show's performers. He shouted, "Rihanna!" to loud cheers. Then, "Madonna!" to more loud cheers! Finally, he shouted "Robert Durst!" and everyone kept cheering, clearly unaware of who Eichner was talking about.
No video clips of the moment are avaliable online, but here is what Eichner had to say:
THE JINX!!! "@KatieGarrity: .@billyeichner making clueless teens scream for Robert Durst was pretty much everything. #iHeartAwards"
