Watch Rachel Dratch Tackle Billy Eichner’s Scientology Obstacle Course
Billy Eichner unleashed Rachel Dratch on a harrowing, hilarious Scientology-themed obstacle course in a ridiculous new clip from Billy on the Street.
Eichner fittingly dubbed the challenge, “Leah Remini’s Escape From Scientology,” a nod to the actress who recently detailed her split from the Church in a new book. The host explained to Dratch that the first few obstacles would find her joining the Church of Scientology, before cracking, “Then there’s a twist: You decide you need to escape the religion, save your kids, save your friends and most importantly save your acting career!”
And away Dratch went, first signing a billion year contract with the Church before marrying one of Giovanni Ribisi’s cousins in a ceremony presided over by intergalactic dictator, Xenu. From there the obstacle course took a Double Dare-esque turn as Dratch dodged slime and alien limbs, scaled an inflatable ship to save her kids from Sea Org and dug out a mannequin representing Shelly Miscavige — the reportedly missing wife of Scientology honcho David Miscavige — from a pool of Jell-O.
For her final feat, Dratch hiked to the top of the erupting volcano on the cover of L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics, where she was greeted by her new savior — a TV Land executive. “It’s not a billion-year contract,” Eichner raved below. “It’s just eight half-hour episodes!”
