Billy Knight is a longtime professional comedian who has clearly fallen on hard times. His act are made up of sardonic one-liners and observations about life and various personalities in New Vegas. It is implied that he was once a well-known comic, but his desperation causes him to sharply question his worth to a club.
Talent Pool: The player needs to recruit a comedian. Billy is a prime choice to perform his act for the patrons of Tommy Torini's Aces Theater, located in The Tops casino.
Billy is desperate for the work, and offers to perform for as low as 10 caps a night; however, with a 25 Barter skill, he can be convinced to persuade Torini of his true worth as an act.
If recruited for Torini, Billy performs his act at The Aces nightly between 4:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M.
If you listen to all of his jokes, he will make a crack about being served human meat at the Ultra-luxe, foreshadowing a quest with them. The Joke is somewhat similar to the cannibalism joke that the robot butlers tell in Fallout 3.
The Tops sign bills him as the "King of Zing!".
During the course of his routine, Billy will make a joke about Tops owner Benny paying his salary; Billy will make this joke even if Benny is dead or has fled The Strip while other non-player characters in the theater are talking about the mobster's recent disgrace.
Billy may also make a joke about Benny paying his salary even if he is still working on the street.
"I had dinner at the Ultra-Luxe the other night. I told them my steak tasted funny. They said it was a clown. I ate a person!"
"Hey, what about that suit Benny wears? If I had a suit like that, the ladies would be all over me. What, you expect a punchline? The guy pays my salary!"

"People say it's hard to survive the Wasteland - hey, how hard can it be, the water glows in the dark!"
"My hotel room is so small, when I put the key in the lock, I broke the window!"
"I hear James Garret drove 5,000 head of Brahmin to New Reno. No bodies, just the heads."
