New Yorkers don't know who Chris Pratt is

Chris Pratt has been hailed as one of Hollywood's biggest stars by publications like Entertainment Weekly, New York Magazine and The Hollywood Reporter, but that doesn't mean that New Yorkers care.

On a segment for "Billy on the Street," Pratt and host Billy Eichner ran around New York trying to find locals who could name the star of "Jurassic World" and "Guardians of the Galaxy."

Several New Yorkers could not place Pratt -- even though Eichner was offering a cash prize of one dollar -- and one had never even heard of "Guardians of the Galaxy": "We don't watch TV," she said.

Others thought he was a star from VH1, or that he was Chris ... Evans.

At least one group of elderly tourists was excited to see Pratt, even if they didn't know who he was. Eichner told them he was Josh Duhamel, and the fans jumped and cheered after meeting "Duhamel."

Someone finally recognized Pratt and won the dollar, though she seemed to be more of an Anna Faris fan than a Pratt fan: "I like your wife," she said of the "Mom" star.
