Since about 2005, Samsung LCD TVs have featured USB ports that can be accessed from the side or bottom of the TV. See the photo below where 2 USB ports are at the top of the bank of connectors. If you have a pre-2005 or non-flat/LCD Samsung TV, most likely it does not have USB ports.
What if my TV is firmly mounted against the wall?
If your TV is screwed into the wall so that the USB ports are not accessible -- and you do not want to remove the TV -- you almost certainly have an HDMI cable exiting from the wall somewhere that you can use to play the BillionDollarArtGallery. HDMI cables are video cables; if you have a streaming service, it is probably attached to a streaming box. You could plug the HDMI into a media reader. USB Media Readers sell from $20 to $50 on Amazon.
You may already have a DVD player with a USB port that is attached that will work.
You may already own an HDMI switch box like this one ($16.99 on Amazon) that would enable you to add a USB reader to your HDMI cable with convenient remote control switching between devices. (Only necessary if you do not feel like unplugging the cable from your streaming service and plugging it into your Media Reader)
