Template:Character
Billy Knight is a street comedian living on The Strip. He stands outside of the The Tops Casino, next to a gate dividing The Strip.
Background
Billy Knight is a longtime professional comedian who has clearly fallen on hard times. His act is 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.

Quests
During the mission Talent Pool, the Courier has the option of recruiting Billy to perform his act for the patrons of Tommy Torini's Aces Theater, located in the 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. The Tops sign bills him as the "King of Zing!"

Notes
- If recruited for Torini, Billy performs his act at The Aces nightly between 16:00 and 18:00.
- Billy occasionally uses Yiddish words and phrases, implying that he might be Jewish with an Anglicized name. This could be an homage to the great Borscht Belt comics of the 1940s and '50s, many of whom were renowned for their 'one-liners'.
- If you listen to all of his jokes he will make a crack being served humans the ultra luxe.
Quotes
- "I had dinner at the Ultra-Luxe the other night. I told them my steak tasted funny. They said it was a clown."
- "I know a guy, his motto is Love Thy Neighbor. He lives next to a brothel."
- "People say it's hard to survive the Wasteland - hey, how hard can it be, the water glows in the dark!"
- "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!"
- "They really care about your privacy here at the Tops. Even room service has an unlisted number!"
Appearances
Billy Knight appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
Bugs
- If the player speaks with Billy before recruiting him for Torini, he will chastise them for interrupting his patter. This implies that Billy was meant to be performing an act on the street for spare caps, which would explain his static presence outside of the Tops.
- During the course of his routine, Billy will make a joke about Tops chieftain Benny paying his salary; Billy will make this joke even if Benny is dead or has fled The Strip while other NPCs in the theater are talking about the mobster's recent disgrace.
- Like all the other performers at The Aces, Billy will remain silently on the stage after his act has concluded if his allotted time there has not been met. Furthermore, he may walk straight off of the stage and into the audience, instead of down the side stairs.
