Gospel is my wheelhouse.” He then asked the audience, “Are y’all ready to go to church?” As if on cue, everyone in the audience put on their best Sunday hats because they knew Porter was about to deliver an exceptional performance.
On Tuesday, March 14th at 10:00 p.m. ET on NBC, Billy’s episode was aired. Following this, it was made available for streaming on Peacock. During the episode, four Broadway alums participated in a variety of challenges, including music, dance, trivia-based games, and musical performances. One of the games played was the new game called “More Than a Feeling.”
In terms of Billy Porter, his outstanding performance as Pray Tell in FX’s trailblazing series “Pose” garnered him an Emmy Award, a Golden Globe nomination, and a Critics’ Choice Award nomination.
