1
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,340
I don't think there's been a single day
over the past seven years where I

2
00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:21,340
haven't thought about the show.

3
00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:27,380
So is that taxing?

4
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,640
No.

5
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:32,020
But it's certainly all -consuming.

6
00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:44,520
I still don't think I've fully processed
the fact that people are watching.

7
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,540
And I don't think I ever want to.

8
00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:55,000
Because I think part of the joy of
experiencing this has just been the fact

9
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,640
it has felt quite small.

10
00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:06,300
For three months, we are in Toronto
making this show completely by

11
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:14,640
It's funny because I feel like the
show...

12
00:01:15,210 --> 00:01:18,930
sort of took a turn in terms of the
level of notoriety that it achieved

13
00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:19,930
the past year.

14
00:01:22,690 --> 00:01:27,790
And I remember people asking me, do you
feel the weight of people's expectations

15
00:01:27,790 --> 00:01:31,270
when you're writing a last season? And I
was like, well, fortunately we've

16
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:32,270
already written it.

17
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:37,810
So it couldn't have come at a better
time because, you know, when the New

18
00:01:37,810 --> 00:01:41,810
times is writing about your show and in
such a positive way, it was like, what

19
00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:43,190
is going on here?

20
00:01:45,260 --> 00:01:46,260
It's insane.

21
00:01:46,980 --> 00:01:51,860
Eugene Levy and his son Dan are joining
me now. The creator and star of my

22
00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:56,120
favorite show of all time, Schitt's
Creek.

23
00:01:57,420 --> 00:02:00,900
Eugene and Dan Levy just announced the
show will be back for season six.

24
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:02,140
Guess what?

25
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,540
And that is it. Schitt's Creek has
slowly become one of the most beloved

26
00:02:07,540 --> 00:02:12,680
in North America. But after six seasons,
80 episodes, and four Emmy nominations,

27
00:02:13,260 --> 00:02:17,000
The cast of this unlikely hit series is
preparing to say goodbye.

28
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,380
They're bowing out on their schedule,
not something that has always been easy

29
00:02:21,380 --> 00:02:22,400
do in the TV business.

30
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,780
Did you guys feel the earth sort of
shift earlier when you announced that

31
00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:30,920
show was coming to an end? Last season
of Schitt's Creek. Don't you want to do

32
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:32,460
another season, please?

33
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,500
How are we ending this show now? Why are
you ending this thing? This is like a

34
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:41,460
perfect show with a perfect cast at the
perfect time.

35
00:02:49,230 --> 00:02:54,730
We are three weeks into what we call
like an idea incubator, which is when we

36
00:02:54,730 --> 00:02:58,370
get all our writers together and really
just talk about what we want from our

37
00:02:58,370 --> 00:03:02,090
season and where we want our characters
to end up. It's just a bit different

38
00:03:02,090 --> 00:03:07,550
this year because it's a bigger
conversation when you're talking about

39
00:03:07,550 --> 00:03:12,730
you want your characters to end up for
the rest of their lives. A little bit

40
00:03:12,730 --> 00:03:13,489
more pressure.

41
00:03:13,490 --> 00:03:15,250
So where did we leave off?

42
00:03:19,050 --> 00:03:20,830
That last episode is about the fans.

43
00:03:21,170 --> 00:03:27,110
If we've done our job okay, then I think
we should be set up to wrap this show

44
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:28,250
up in a really special way.

45
00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:36,090
I do remember when the idea first
sparked, and I remember Daniel driving

46
00:03:36,090 --> 00:03:38,470
my parents' house, writing the pilot
presentation.

47
00:03:38,990 --> 00:03:43,350
I came to him with the idea of exploring
what it would look like for a wealthy

48
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:47,320
family. to lose their money. It was
really quite simple. I mean, he just

49
00:03:47,420 --> 00:03:53,900
would you be interested in working with
me on developing a TV show? And that set

50
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:56,340
my heart to palpitating.

51
00:03:56,620 --> 00:03:58,180
I didn't have any idea what I was doing.

52
00:03:58,580 --> 00:04:01,860
So he was very legitimate in being
scared.

53
00:04:02,140 --> 00:04:06,980
What would happen on camera was still a
bit of an unknown. I'd certainly seen

54
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:07,799
him on MTV.

55
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,700
I knew that he was great on camera. He
had a great presence. But could he

56
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:12,920
a scripted half hour?

57
00:04:13,450 --> 00:04:17,529
show still didn't know i'd seen the rich
people lose their money concepts played

58
00:04:17,529 --> 00:04:22,470
out in sitcoms but i'd never seen it
articulated through a slightly more

59
00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:27,550
sophisticated comedic lens he wanted the
same sensibility that chris guest and i

60
00:04:27,550 --> 00:04:32,850
had put into our movies which is good
character -based comedy good grounded

61
00:04:32,850 --> 00:04:37,010
stuff you want an emotional investment
in the characters we worked on just

62
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:42,630
backstory for weeks to the point where I
was sort of like, Dad, can we just,

63
00:04:42,630 --> 00:04:46,990
like, move on? And he was like, no, we
can't move on until we know exactly who

64
00:04:46,990 --> 00:04:47,990
these people are.

65
00:04:56,950 --> 00:04:57,950
Good morning.

66
00:04:58,390 --> 00:04:59,390
Happy birthday.

67
00:05:02,030 --> 00:05:05,850
If I could just gather anybody that's
outside in the peripherals to step in

68
00:05:05,850 --> 00:05:08,010
a moment, if we could just give the
floor to Eugene.

69
00:05:08,290 --> 00:05:09,290
Thank you, everyone.

70
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,460
Hi, everybody. I just wanted to say this
morning, of course, is kind of

71
00:05:14,460 --> 00:05:18,600
monumental in a way because it's our
very first shooting day of our very last

72
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,180
season. Welcome, welcome, welcome.

73
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:27,100
We have 14 episodes to wrap this shit
up, so let's make it worthwhile, let's

74
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:29,180
have fun, and let's give it our all.

75
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:36,920
When we finally put it together and
realized this is the show, it seemed

76
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,340
You know, it had good bones, as they
say.

77
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,980
But when we finally cast it, that was
really when we realized, wow, we're on

78
00:05:46,980 --> 00:05:48,200
to something really good here.

79
00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:51,220
My dad had asked Catherine to be a part
of the presentation pilot.

80
00:05:51,460 --> 00:05:55,420
She's always like a first choice. She
was the first choice with the movie that

81
00:05:55,420 --> 00:05:57,740
Chris and I did. I mean, number one
name.

82
00:05:58,580 --> 00:06:00,800
Let's get Catherine. She had said yes?

83
00:06:01,180 --> 00:06:04,780
Conditionally? It's just 15 minutes. And
then, you know, if it sells, even if it

84
00:06:04,780 --> 00:06:05,780
sells, you know.

85
00:06:05,980 --> 00:06:07,360
I won't bug you about doing the role.

86
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:12,840
And then the show got bought, and we had
to go back to her and say, remember

87
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:18,140
that show that we shot that was 14
minutes? Do you want to do that now for

88
00:06:18,140 --> 00:06:19,140
episodes?

89
00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:22,600
No. I don't think so.

90
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,180
I'm kind of busy doing nothing.

91
00:06:26,740 --> 00:06:27,980
I said, call her back.

92
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,940
Tell her, let's just look at one year.
We'll go one year at a time. And if it's

93
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:35,120
not going to work, it's not going to
work.

94
00:06:35,850 --> 00:06:39,550
And he called her and she said, yeah.

95
00:06:41,230 --> 00:06:42,770
And the rest is history.

96
00:06:43,210 --> 00:06:49,430
So stupid. I ain't really lame to talk
about not wanting to do it at the

97
00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:50,430
beginning.

98
00:06:50,890 --> 00:06:53,550
How stupid would I have been not to have
done it?

99
00:06:55,090 --> 00:06:59,690
You ready for the first shot of season
six?

100
00:07:00,790 --> 00:07:03,430
Game on. And action.

101
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,280
Your father and I are going to meet for
a celebratory lunch when he's done at

102
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,119
the bank.

103
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,620
Alexis was a character that we had a
hard time casting.

104
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,520
We must have seen a hundred people.

105
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:30,840
I was in L .A. for pilot season, and
things leading up to that point

106
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,840
had not been going great. Feeling rusty?
Yes. I hadn't worked in over a few

107
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,380
years. The universe was really
screaming.

108
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,080
in my ear, like, this is not for you.

109
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:48,520
And literally the next day, I got an
email for an audition for a

110
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,520
show called Schitt's Creek.

111
00:07:49,780 --> 00:07:51,080
Hi, my name is Annie Murphy.

112
00:07:51,340 --> 00:07:55,440
Annie came in, and she wasn't really
made up, and she had a bun in her hair,

113
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,000
she walked in with this sort of casual
nonchalance.

114
00:07:58,540 --> 00:08:01,940
Wow. And I called my dad after the
audition, and I said, I think we have

115
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:03,160
something here.

116
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,280
So we brought her out for the test, and
she came into the room.

117
00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:10,010
And it was, it was magic.

118
00:08:11,070 --> 00:08:12,070
Wyla?

119
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:17,710
I didn't know that you two were... Did
you want to come in? I was just about to

120
00:08:17,710 --> 00:08:18,710
make some tea.

121
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:25,130
No. My life just changed in that moment
in a really, really big way.

122
00:08:26,270 --> 00:08:30,330
Dustin Milligan, a friend of mine, you
know, we sort of knew each other through

123
00:08:30,330 --> 00:08:34,409
the Canadian circles in L .A. His name
was Dan Levy.

124
00:08:35,130 --> 00:08:37,770
And he said, there's this show that's
going.

125
00:08:38,049 --> 00:08:41,429
And in my head, I was like, whoa, am I
about to get offered a role? And then it

126
00:08:41,429 --> 00:08:44,049
was like, for you to audition for this
role.

127
00:08:44,850 --> 00:08:46,790
And I was like, okay, got it. Cool,
cool, cool, cool.

128
00:08:47,070 --> 00:08:48,270
Okay, just relax.

129
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:51,350
If it's a heart attack, you're way too
far from hospital to make it through the

130
00:08:51,350 --> 00:08:52,350
night. What?

131
00:08:52,430 --> 00:08:57,270
Kidding. When the breakdown finally
arrived, you know, I saw the names, Levy

132
00:08:57,270 --> 00:09:01,190
O 'Hara, and the nerves just kind of
take over, and then the work ethic takes

133
00:09:01,190 --> 00:09:02,390
over, and yeah,

134
00:09:03,150 --> 00:09:06,230
I think I managed to put all that aside.

135
00:09:06,770 --> 00:09:09,010
Hey, come in different colors, princess.

136
00:09:09,310 --> 00:09:10,670
Orange is the new orange.

137
00:09:11,260 --> 00:09:16,700
I got a call from my agent, and at the
time, I was getting, like, audition

138
00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:20,920
anxiety to the point of, like, if I
walked in an audition room, I would

139
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,800
out in hives, like, full -body hives.
And so I told my U .S. agent, I'm like,

140
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,440
can't audition anymore. I'll just put
myself on tape, and he dropped me.

141
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,180
And that's fair. I totally, totally get
it.

142
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,420
But then my Canadian agent kept me, and
she's like, just go in. They're

143
00:09:40,420 --> 00:09:41,680
Canadian. They're nice.

144
00:09:42,260 --> 00:09:47,120
Emily Hempstead. I just remember, this
is so dumb, and I hope I didn't do this.

145
00:09:47,180 --> 00:09:52,040
I hope this is like a dream that didn't
actually happen. I just remember rotary

146
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,640
dialing an imaginary phone.

147
00:09:55,860 --> 00:09:56,860
That happened.

148
00:09:57,300 --> 00:09:58,560
What the hell is this?

149
00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:59,760
The down sign.

150
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,740
My agent called and said, hey, there's a
show that's being cast out of Toronto,

151
00:10:04,820 --> 00:10:08,480
and it's called Schitt's Creek. And I'm
like, what? What did you just say? I was

152
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,340
like, there's no show called Schitt's
Creek that's going to be on Canadian

153
00:10:11,340 --> 00:10:15,520
television. Sarah was in the pilot as
Twyla, but it was a different version of

154
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:21,920
Twyla. She was very nerdy and
introverted, and there was a sadness

155
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,240
to her.

156
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,440
We do manicures.

157
00:10:24,790 --> 00:10:29,650
Her salon is called Lucky Nail. The
transition between that and the Twyla

158
00:10:29,650 --> 00:10:35,110
exists now is just such a sunnier woman.
Just this little ray of sunshine.

159
00:10:35,630 --> 00:10:41,830
The day before I found out I got part of
Jocelyn, I filled out an online

160
00:10:41,830 --> 00:10:45,670
application to stock the shelves at
Petco.

161
00:10:45,890 --> 00:10:48,230
But you needed to operate a forklift.

162
00:10:48,510 --> 00:10:52,450
And I thought that was a bad idea in
general.

163
00:10:52,730 --> 00:10:53,730
Hi, Patrick.

164
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:58,970
Oh, I'm David Rose. I watched the first
episode, and I remember being quite

165
00:10:58,970 --> 00:11:02,890
excited about it. And I didn't want to
catch up when I had the audition,

166
00:11:02,890 --> 00:11:06,330
I was like, I'm going to blow this out
of proportion for myself and, like, get

167
00:11:06,330 --> 00:11:07,330
in my head about it.

168
00:11:07,470 --> 00:11:09,950
The more you want it, the harder the
audition is.

169
00:11:10,390 --> 00:11:14,790
So I was like, if I can trick myself
into not wanting this too much, it will

170
00:11:14,790 --> 00:11:15,790
to my benefit.

171
00:11:16,250 --> 00:11:20,290
Great. Well, here's my card, and I feel
like you will need it.

172
00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:21,630
You know what?

173
00:11:21,690 --> 00:11:25,670
I think I'm good. What a lot of shows
have to worry about in the first season

174
00:11:25,670 --> 00:11:30,630
character. Did we hire the right people?
Are they working out? That was never a

175
00:11:30,630 --> 00:11:33,650
concern for us, which is a huge luxury.

176
00:11:33,970 --> 00:11:40,690
Our cast knew who they were, came in,
and sat so firm

177
00:11:40,690 --> 00:11:44,230
in those roles. They knew who they were
from day one. Cut.

178
00:11:44,450 --> 00:11:48,030
Cut. Yeah, yeah. First scene of the cat.
Happy, happy, happy.

179
00:11:48,570 --> 00:11:49,570
Yeah.

180
00:11:55,609 --> 00:11:56,609
Boom. Boom.

181
00:11:56,830 --> 00:11:58,510
Okay, go ahead. Do it again. Go.

182
00:11:59,830 --> 00:12:00,830
Yeah,

183
00:12:00,970 --> 00:12:05,150
so as long as you go past the ears, the
camera will sell it. Okay. After the

184
00:12:05,150 --> 00:12:09,210
presentation, and they made the deal
with CBC, Eugene and Daniel invited me

185
00:12:09,210 --> 00:12:11,210
lunch. We started talking about
character.

186
00:12:11,490 --> 00:12:14,510
I thought, oh, rich lady. I don't want
to just look like a cliche rich lady.

187
00:12:14,750 --> 00:12:18,950
And so I went online, and I found Daphne
Guinness.

188
00:12:19,230 --> 00:12:23,330
She came to me with some references in
terms of how the character would look,

189
00:12:23,410 --> 00:12:26,350
and she was thinking of having this sort
of accent.

190
00:12:26,730 --> 00:12:32,170
Even more vicious than Vivian getting
trampled while honeymooning in Kaplonia.

191
00:12:33,690 --> 00:12:34,690
That's great.

192
00:12:35,850 --> 00:12:40,850
The wigs weren't in it, and the
vocabulary wasn't in it.

193
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,080
You know, that's what I got to add. I
remember finding it all quite dazzling.

194
00:12:45,180 --> 00:12:48,840
Little did I know at the time just how
much Catherine brings to the table.

195
00:12:49,060 --> 00:12:53,740
I just asked if I could wear lots of
wings, depending on my mood.

196
00:12:54,180 --> 00:12:59,160
It worked for fashion reasons. It worked
for hiding or revealing what I'm

197
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,900
feeling. It worked as a protective
helmet.

198
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:03,920
So it's just...

199
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,720
Too much fun. Everybody's outfits are
incredible.

200
00:13:07,100 --> 00:13:10,940
You're making all sorts of top ten
lists, including Vogue's best dressed.

201
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:17,220
Catherine and I do hours and hours of
fitting before we start shooting. Like,

202
00:13:17,220 --> 00:13:18,440
hours and hours.

203
00:13:19,180 --> 00:13:25,780
Today's Catherine's second fitting of
hopefully three, likely four or five.

204
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,040
Oh, yeah.

205
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,780
It needs a lot of jewelry, Dan.

206
00:13:30,180 --> 00:13:31,380
Yeah, exactly.

207
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,480
It just needs some sparkle.

208
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,480
Wardrobe is probably the most important
element in storytelling outside of

209
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:46,100
actually writing because we as people
say so much about who we are and what we

210
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:49,680
believe in and what we want and what we
think of ourselves by the way that we

211
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:53,520
dress. Maybe just pull it in a bit. It's
better when they're up here, huh? Yeah.

212
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:56,620
Isn't it? Yeah. So to me, wardrobe was
like a huge focus.

213
00:13:57,310 --> 00:14:01,210
making sure that we really thought
through each of our characters, making

214
00:14:01,210 --> 00:14:02,350
that the details were there.

215
00:14:02,570 --> 00:14:06,230
I think that is what's different about
Schitt's Creek. It's as though the

216
00:14:06,230 --> 00:14:10,690
clothing was thought about at the same
time as the character development and

217
00:14:10,690 --> 00:14:13,230
everything else. So it's become, it's
inherent to the show.

218
00:14:13,890 --> 00:14:17,450
Casual, understated. Going to celebrate
that successful banquet.

219
00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:18,870
Exactly. Money.

220
00:14:19,510 --> 00:14:23,950
My mandate when we started this show was
that I wanted the clothes to feel real.

221
00:14:24,210 --> 00:14:28,480
And I wanted people... who were
interested in fashion to be able to

222
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:34,440
pieces and say like okay so this isn't
just someone doing zara doing balenciaga

223
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,620
it's like the girl from the fifth
element put a dream dress on at first i

224
00:14:38,620 --> 00:14:43,240
watching it i was like wait is that is
that mcqueen or and i sort of thought it

225
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,320
was a wardrobe inspired by these
designers and then i kept looking i was

226
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,400
wait i have that balenciaga you know so
then i realized it was the real deal and

227
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,100
i was like oh okay you know respect i
found this

228
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:57,920
McQueen dress for $300.

229
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,820
And the price tag was on it.

230
00:15:00,140 --> 00:15:05,440
And it retails for much, much more than
that. I think it got harder season after

231
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,640
season because we kept pushing the
boundaries of how far we could take our

232
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,340
budget. But part of that, I think, is
what makes the show what it is. We're

233
00:15:13,340 --> 00:15:18,880
really scrappy. And all good things come
out of a lot of sort of hard work and

234
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:19,880
sweat and tears.

235
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,360
I think the investment being put into
wardrobe was a smart investment because

236
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,960
that said so much about who the
characters were.

237
00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:33,900
You had a whole visual story and a whole
way of understanding the characters

238
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:37,600
through the clothing. The outfit, you
become the person when you look in the

239
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,420
mirror and you see, oh, that's who she
is. And I don't know if Catherine works

240
00:15:41,420 --> 00:15:44,760
that way or not, but it sure is
wonderful to see what she's going to...

241
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:50,040
wear each week. When you get these kinds
of clothes on, you just feel different.

242
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,220
You stand differently. You move
differently.

243
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,940
People look at you differently.

244
00:15:54,180 --> 00:15:58,100
And I feed off of all of it. It's
important for us to make sure that when

245
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:02,180
Catherine comes in for her wardrobe
fitting, that we are bringing clothes

246
00:16:02,180 --> 00:16:07,440
she can dive into. And I think vice
versa, the clothes help inspire her in

247
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,800
certain areas to just take that
character into new and wonderful

248
00:16:12,220 --> 00:16:13,220
Something like a marble.

249
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:20,220
I like this now.

250
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:33,940
This scene between the writers and

251
00:16:33,940 --> 00:16:37,560
I probably did about seven drafts.

252
00:16:39,140 --> 00:16:42,340
It's really hard to tell the story of a
love story that in the end,

253
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,540
It's still a love story. It didn't end
because they stopped loving each other.

254
00:16:46,580 --> 00:16:49,660
It ended because circumstance stood in
their way. And that circumstance was

255
00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:50,459
their own growth.

256
00:16:50,460 --> 00:16:51,640
And that's a wonderful thing.

257
00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:53,220
Hustle mark.

258
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,240
And action.

259
00:16:59,180 --> 00:17:00,500
You can't move back here, Ted.

260
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:04,560
You've just been offered the job of your
dreams. There's no turning back now.

261
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:06,760
What about you?

262
00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:08,660
What are you going to do?

263
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:12,980
Might come as a shock to you, Ted.

264
00:17:13,349 --> 00:17:15,930
But I can't move to the Galapagos.

265
00:17:18,690 --> 00:17:20,130
I'm going to let you even if you tried.

266
00:17:22,369 --> 00:17:25,109
And I hope you know that I don't think
I'm ever going to find another woman who

267
00:17:25,109 --> 00:17:26,829
makes me feel the way that you do.

268
00:17:28,089 --> 00:17:29,090
I love you, Ted.

269
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:32,050
I love you, too.

270
00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:34,590
And cut.

271
00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:35,950
Thank you.

272
00:17:37,670 --> 00:17:38,670
Wow.

273
00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:43,470
Funny.

274
00:17:45,490 --> 00:17:47,170
It is a sad downside.

275
00:17:47,550 --> 00:17:52,470
When people are, like, emotional at a
rehearsal, it means that something's

276
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:56,690
working. I don't know. It just hit me
just now. I was, like, totally playing

277
00:17:56,690 --> 00:17:57,690
before.

278
00:17:58,690 --> 00:18:00,370
All during the scene, I was fine.

279
00:18:01,050 --> 00:18:03,030
Shouldn't have been. Was fine, more or
less.

280
00:18:03,570 --> 00:18:09,810
And then I walked out, and Eugene Levy
was standing there with his arms open

281
00:18:09,810 --> 00:18:11,530
his eyes full of tears.

282
00:18:12,140 --> 00:18:13,320
And just said, Annie.

283
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:19,080
And his voice broke, and he hugged me,
and I felt his chest, like, heave a

284
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,760
little bit. And I burst into tears
immediately and had to just walk it off.

285
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:30,080
was pretty waterwork -y back there. A
sad Eugene Levy is, that's a

286
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,680
This town might just be your saving
grace, at least for a while.

287
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,480
I had a bunch of friends who would watch
the show, and I thought, how is it

288
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,480
going to be good?

289
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,980
I kind of wasn't sure what to expect
from the series. I think it started at

290
00:18:43,980 --> 00:18:48,360
least from a point of a kind of
recognition of Catherine and Eugene.

291
00:18:48,620 --> 00:18:51,480
I absolutely have loved them ever since
SCTV.

292
00:18:51,740 --> 00:18:56,360
So I tuned in, you know, just to see
what they were up to. And I got hooked.

293
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,940
It's like butter when they work together
because...

294
00:18:59,370 --> 00:19:02,790
They anticipate what the next person is
going to do. That's pure chemistry. I'm

295
00:19:02,790 --> 00:19:05,930
sure they had that right when they first
met each other. It is beautiful to

296
00:19:05,930 --> 00:19:10,530
watch. You can tell they really love
each other. They respect each other.

297
00:19:10,530 --> 00:19:12,130
dig each other.

298
00:19:13,450 --> 00:19:17,410
We were always the little engine that
could, you know, just doing our show,

299
00:19:17,530 --> 00:19:18,710
doing a good job.

300
00:19:19,010 --> 00:19:23,190
And it just started kind of percolating
and...

301
00:19:23,710 --> 00:19:24,710
Crossing the border.

302
00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:29,790
You would see really, like, prominent
film critics on Twitter talking about

303
00:19:29,910 --> 00:19:33,950
It was really a kind of grassroots, word
-of -mouth phenomenon.

304
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:37,450
I slowly got into Schitt's Creek, I feel
like, around season two.

305
00:19:37,710 --> 00:19:42,010
But it was a show that you would always
sort of hear people talk about. It kind

306
00:19:42,010 --> 00:19:45,110
of feels like the show has built in the
perfect way.

307
00:19:45,590 --> 00:19:48,130
Like, nothing happened too soon.

308
00:19:48,650 --> 00:19:52,370
and the love that started to come in was
really well earned.

309
00:19:52,630 --> 00:19:56,670
I think it's safe to say that the
quality of the show just continued to

310
00:19:56,770 --> 00:20:01,970
especially in the later seasons. I think
everybody across the board became more

311
00:20:01,970 --> 00:20:05,850
comfortable in the skin of their
characters. The characters themselves

312
00:20:05,850 --> 00:20:11,030
richer, and the storylines that they
were able to tell were just a lot more,

313
00:20:11,030 --> 00:20:13,050
think, involving and affecting.

314
00:20:13,390 --> 00:20:14,410
I think you're my best friend.

315
00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:18,210
It takes people time to find things now,
but if...

316
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:23,460
A show is creative enough, funny enough,
caring enough, people start talking

317
00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:25,640
about it. I was just telling everybody,
I'd be filling up my car, I'd be like,

318
00:20:25,660 --> 00:20:26,700
have you seen Chester Reek? It's
unbelievable.

319
00:20:27,140 --> 00:20:32,680
I think it's a testament to Dan and
Eugene and their desire to force an

320
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,840
aesthetic, to force a look of the show.

321
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,860
It was very clear to all involved this
was something that, as intended, was

322
00:20:40,860 --> 00:20:43,680
pushing the boundaries for what Canadian
comedy could be.

323
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,400
Next step is to fold in the cheese.

324
00:20:49,420 --> 00:20:50,420
What does that mean?

325
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:51,860
What does fold in the cheese mean?

326
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,680
He folds it in. The awareness for the
show really picked up. I mean, I saw it

327
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,480
everywhere. I saw it in airports. I saw
it on the street. And that's when people

328
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,120
started talking about the show.

329
00:21:03,780 --> 00:21:04,780
Love the show.

330
00:21:04,860 --> 00:21:09,280
Hey, love Schitt's Creek. Saw Schitt's
Creek the other night. Loved it. It was

331
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,280
like a tidal wave.

332
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:17,580
It was one of those shows that felt like
a hidden treasure.

333
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,800
It sort of felt like it came out of
nowhere.

334
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:22,940
Really, you heard about it, but you're
like, what is it? And then all of a

335
00:21:22,940 --> 00:21:23,940
sudden, it's this thing.

336
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:29,220
You guys met the Nicole Kidman. Oh, my
God. I mean, she's a fan of the show.

337
00:21:29,220 --> 00:21:30,400
tagged you guys on Instagram.

338
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,920
The show he's on with his father, which
is on Pop TV, is hilarious.

339
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,500
I watch it all the time. They cast up
one of my favorite shows.

340
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,220
Congratulations. It's a hit. You know
what I love?

341
00:21:41,580 --> 00:21:43,740
Schitt's Creek. I am starstruck.

342
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,440
And comedy struck.

343
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:48,200
I'm nervous to interview you because I
don't want to screw it up.

344
00:21:48,580 --> 00:21:49,580
Schitt's Creek.

345
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Catherine O 'Hara.

346
00:21:51,060 --> 00:21:51,879
Schitt's Creek.

347
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,540
I want to take you home.

348
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,860
Oh, well, you can. You're making all
sorts of top ten lists. Dan and Eugene

349
00:21:58,860 --> 00:22:01,020
are joining me now. Finally getting the
Emmy love.

350
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,540
That's got to feel good. It's been
insane.

351
00:22:03,860 --> 00:22:05,520
Every line's classic.

352
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,220
It's so well written. But they take the
time to give you the moments between the

353
00:22:09,220 --> 00:22:10,220
lines, too.

354
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,480
And that's good.

355
00:22:14,540 --> 00:22:15,560
Something wrong, David?

356
00:22:20,020 --> 00:22:25,260
It's the best thing on TV right now. Our
favorite show ever. We were like fans

357
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:26,260
from day one.

358
00:22:26,340 --> 00:22:29,900
We know every single episode, every
single word, everyone I meet, I tell

359
00:22:29,900 --> 00:22:31,760
that they have to watch the show. I love
Alexis.

360
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,079
I love David.

361
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,180
I have him on my chest.

362
00:22:34,830 --> 00:22:37,470
My whole family watches it, so it's
something that we all share.

363
00:22:37,670 --> 00:22:41,230
Every Sunday, we watch from season one
all the way to season five. I flew in

364
00:22:41,230 --> 00:22:44,230
from Honolulu, Hawaii to be here. If
you're a real fan, you've got to come.

365
00:22:44,670 --> 00:22:48,410
She plays my best friend Stevie Budd on
Schicksal.

366
00:22:48,690 --> 00:22:53,970
When we go do our tours, the energy and
kind of love you get from the audience,

367
00:22:54,150 --> 00:22:58,490
while it's amazing because it's masses
of people, but it's also like nothing

368
00:22:58,490 --> 00:23:03,140
else because it's... so loving and and
with each other and i think it's because

369
00:23:03,140 --> 00:23:07,720
of what the show puts out there that
goodness begets goodness it just does it

370
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,900
works that way it's like they have found
their sisters and brothers and they are

371
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:16,440
kindred spirits and and they i don't
know they bring all this love that they

372
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,870
feel they've gotten from the show and
they bring it to us like a thousand fold

373
00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:25,830
it's hard to describe how how passionate
these people are about the show i'm so

374
00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:32,770
used to the internet being like a
cesspool of awful news that i'm always

375
00:23:32,770 --> 00:23:38,110
inspired and impressed by how the fans
of the show have really taken the

376
00:23:38,110 --> 00:23:42,410
philosophy of the show and really ran
with it in their own lives in a time

377
00:23:42,410 --> 00:23:47,110
it was super dark it kind of came in and
filled that void in a lot of ways The

378
00:23:47,110 --> 00:23:51,010
majority of people, they say it's an
escape for them. You can watch it and

379
00:23:51,010 --> 00:23:52,950
laugh and there's love and there's
empathy.

380
00:23:53,150 --> 00:23:59,030
And I can't think of another show that
does that. Maybe everybody just thought

381
00:23:59,030 --> 00:24:03,170
they were privately watching by
themselves and then suddenly discovered,

382
00:24:03,170 --> 00:24:06,210
wait, there's another fan over here and
there's another fan. And then like all

383
00:24:06,210 --> 00:24:08,290
of a sudden we all realized we were fans
of the show.

384
00:24:08,810 --> 00:24:13,850
So many times I'm laughing, and then I'm
crying, like heartbreaking crying, and

385
00:24:13,850 --> 00:24:18,630
just loving every aspect of it. You see
a family learn more and more the value

386
00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:21,030
of the everyday, of relationships.

387
00:24:21,790 --> 00:24:23,570
You know, that's what life is about.

388
00:24:24,030 --> 00:24:25,190
Schitt's Creek is joy.

389
00:24:25,390 --> 00:24:26,990
It's the hardest thing to get right.

390
00:24:27,370 --> 00:24:31,330
you know it's the easiest thing to take
for granted and the hardest thing to get

391
00:24:31,330 --> 00:24:35,630
right it makes me happy and that's what
television should do isn't it we're in

392
00:24:35,630 --> 00:24:38,690
season six and we're ending and people
are like how can you end when i've just

393
00:24:38,690 --> 00:24:43,890
just found you i think time is going to
be very very good to this show and

394
00:24:43,890 --> 00:24:46,150
already has been just wish it would go
longer

395
00:24:49,870 --> 00:24:51,070
I'm Moira Rose.

396
00:24:51,290 --> 00:24:57,430
Moira Rose has all of the elements of
the straight female character who

397
00:24:57,430 --> 00:24:58,429
a gay icon.

398
00:24:58,430 --> 00:24:59,630
She's over the top.

399
00:25:00,010 --> 00:25:04,110
She's always dressed up. She's self
-involved. Nothing about me. You're my

400
00:25:04,110 --> 00:25:05,110
performance.

401
00:25:10,950 --> 00:25:15,790
It's Night of a Thousand Moiras. We're
all here tonight to pay homage to the

402
00:25:15,790 --> 00:25:18,530
newest and greatest gay icon, Moira
Rose.

403
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:25,740
I'd like all of the Moiras to make their
way onto the stage.

404
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,200
This thing is so incredible and so cool
because there's so many people in our

405
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,080
LGBTQ community who love Schitt's Creek
and love what they represent.

406
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,200
Put your hands together for the cast of
Schitt's Creek!

407
00:25:43,180 --> 00:25:45,360
Getting to do something like really
just...

408
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,860
owns everything about herself and is so
un -self -conscious.

409
00:25:49,060 --> 00:25:50,060
It's really beautiful.

410
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,560
I think what's different about Moira
than the other kind of like outlandish

411
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,800
characters we've seen is that Moira
actually does have a heart of gold and

412
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:03,400
actually has real substance and so she
feels like a very modern version of a

413
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:08,100
icon. I think that the LGBT community
has responded so well to Schitt's Creek

414
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:14,400
because it isn't questioned. It isn't a
big deal and that's what makes it so so

415
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,800
great. I do drink red wine.

416
00:26:17,940 --> 00:26:19,740
But I also drink white wine.

417
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,380
Yeah, so you're just really open to all
wines. I like the wine and not the

418
00:26:23,380 --> 00:26:24,600
label. Does that make sense?

419
00:26:24,860 --> 00:26:28,880
I remember reading that and texting Dan,
just being like, I fucking love this.

420
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:34,180
Because it so eloquently and naturally
was in the scene without it being

421
00:26:34,180 --> 00:26:35,039
or anything.

422
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:40,140
It says so much about the message of the
show, which is about representation and

423
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:43,340
inclusivity. And I think that is why
people...

424
00:26:43,790 --> 00:26:47,590
are responding to it because it's a
tipping point to a certain degree. Like,

425
00:26:47,610 --> 00:26:48,589
enough is enough.

426
00:26:48,590 --> 00:26:50,170
We can live this way.

427
00:26:50,750 --> 00:26:51,750
Take a look.

428
00:26:51,790 --> 00:26:57,750
It also was pretty funny. I got a tweet
from a guy who said that he used the

429
00:26:57,750 --> 00:27:01,330
wine metaphor to come out to his family.

430
00:27:02,290 --> 00:27:04,530
And I thought, that's a pretty amazing
thing.

431
00:27:04,850 --> 00:27:08,490
That's something you don't think about
when you are sitting down to write a

432
00:27:08,490 --> 00:27:09,389
television show.

433
00:27:09,390 --> 00:27:11,810
It just would have never occurred to me
that...

434
00:27:12,030 --> 00:27:17,650
It's better to do a show where there is
no homophobia than to do a show that

435
00:27:17,650 --> 00:27:22,170
speaks to it and talks about how it
does. But, like, what a paradigm shift.

436
00:27:22,450 --> 00:27:26,730
I think at the time, you know, writing
David as a queer character was something

437
00:27:26,730 --> 00:27:30,530
that I just wanted to do. I didn't do it
to make a political statement.

438
00:27:30,990 --> 00:27:33,290
It was just who he was in my head.

439
00:27:33,490 --> 00:27:35,830
And I was shocked by how...

440
00:27:36,420 --> 00:27:38,120
novel that seemed to people.

441
00:27:38,340 --> 00:27:41,420
I think there was an article that was
written that I thought described the

442
00:27:41,420 --> 00:27:46,400
really well where it said, it's created
a better world than we live in. I

443
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,480
remember the gaze started really
freaking out when Dan and Patrick's

444
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,700
relationship took off. There was
particularly this one scene where

445
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:59,980
to him. It's such a beautiful moment
because when you see gay relationships

446
00:27:59,980 --> 00:28:02,440
screen and the way that they're
portrayed, they're often portrayed

447
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,340
lens of tragedy or strife.

448
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,040
or struggle right it's like look at all
we had to overcome to love each other

449
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,800
you know and so it felt like this moment
where we got to see ourselves just

450
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,080
being in love and being joyful So I
think that scene was a watershed moment

451
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,560
queer representation in television
history.

452
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:26,040
And I think there was something to me,
too, that felt very, very truly queer

453
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:31,420
gay about that moment. Because I think
the character of David has a kind of gay

454
00:28:31,420 --> 00:28:33,980
archness, right? Which is very, you
know, it's very familiar.

455
00:28:34,260 --> 00:28:38,240
You know, it's kind of campy. And some
of that is the result of, even though

456
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,780
show doesn't depict homophobia, it's a
life.

457
00:28:41,390 --> 00:28:45,230
of not seeing yourself. It's a life of
not being told you'll get true love.

458
00:28:45,230 --> 00:28:48,270
a life of not being told that your love
matters.

459
00:28:48,470 --> 00:28:54,950
And so watching that archness break, I
think, was something that could be

460
00:28:54,950 --> 00:28:58,790
meaningful to any viewer because it was
so beautiful. But I think for people who

461
00:28:58,790 --> 00:29:05,330
know that from the inside out, there was
something in watching that emotional

462
00:29:05,330 --> 00:29:10,850
journey that was like, oh, wow, that's
what was so moving to me.

463
00:29:11,230 --> 00:29:15,790
I do feel like when someone who has
opposing beliefs sits down in front of

464
00:29:15,790 --> 00:29:19,950
TV and watches, we're not teaching them
a lesson. We're showing them what life

465
00:29:19,950 --> 00:29:24,990
could be like. And I think that's a
really fundamental element. If I were to

466
00:29:24,990 --> 00:29:30,010
sort of psychoanalyze the change that's
been happening, people feel safe enough

467
00:29:30,010 --> 00:29:34,330
to question, are my beliefs outdated?

468
00:29:34,870 --> 00:29:38,230
Am I being told to believe something
that isn't true?

469
00:29:38,700 --> 00:29:41,320
Because I love this character, and I
want him to succeed.

470
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:46,620
So why am I feeling like he shouldn't,
politically or religiously? I think we

471
00:29:46,620 --> 00:29:50,040
all just need a safe space to learn at
the end of the day.

472
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,740
I never learn when I feel like I'm being
taught a lesson.

473
00:29:54,060 --> 00:29:57,580
I never thought the show was laying out
any message. It just is.

474
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,980
It's just an example of how life can be.

475
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,080
And you're laughing.

476
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,560
What better way to open someone's heart
and soul?

477
00:30:05,820 --> 00:30:07,000
It's a major contribution.

478
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,700
from Dan and from the writers on the
show and from the networks involved.

479
00:30:11,980 --> 00:30:16,320
Like, to put that positivity out there,
that's the thing that we sort of, I

480
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,760
think, have come to hang our hats on as
a show.

481
00:30:19,020 --> 00:30:20,020
What a day!

482
00:30:20,140 --> 00:30:21,140
Happy Pride!

483
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,520
Happy Pride!

484
00:30:24,380 --> 00:30:25,620
Not kissing Billboard.

485
00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:27,580
How important was that for you?

486
00:30:28,020 --> 00:30:31,660
So important. I mean, the fact that we
had a network that supported us enough

487
00:30:31,660 --> 00:30:35,800
to... put up a three -story billboard of
two men kissing, speaks volumes for the

488
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,360
network, and I think it's just a lovely
representation of our show.

489
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,380
I've driven by it. Noah and I actually
went and took a photo in front of it,

490
00:30:43,380 --> 00:30:46,540
it was a really emotional thing. It's
like I've never seen anything like it.

491
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,340
And I'm proud to have been a part of
that. It's one of the first times I've

492
00:30:50,340 --> 00:30:51,500
seen that on the side of a building.

493
00:30:51,740 --> 00:30:54,640
That's you on stage at the GLAAD Awards.
You were giving Dan Levy a special

494
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,880
award for his work in making Schitt's
Creek a homophobia -free zone. So what's

495
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,840
it been like to be a part of a show
that's breaking ground like this? Are

496
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:02,699
hearing from people?

497
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:09,420
We all have gotten letters from people
who, after watching the show, have felt

498
00:31:09,420 --> 00:31:13,640
the courage to come out to their
families or parents who have...

499
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,300
accepted their kids because after seeing
how Johnny and Moira have treated their

500
00:31:18,300 --> 00:31:19,880
queer son.

501
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:26,800
So it's been a very, very, very special
experience because of that. This is a

502
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,940
letter from a Facebook group called
Serendipity Doodah.

503
00:31:31,140 --> 00:31:38,120
It's a group of moms with LGBTQ kids,
and they have written you a letter to

504
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:43,200
thank you for everything that you've
done for their kids and the community.

505
00:31:44,090 --> 00:31:45,090
That you represent.

506
00:31:48,710 --> 00:31:52,690
Why is this... Oh, my God.

507
00:31:53,230 --> 00:31:55,790
Okay, all the names. Oh, my God.

508
00:31:56,070 --> 00:31:57,850
Did you read the letters?

509
00:31:58,150 --> 00:31:59,150
You want me to read it?

510
00:32:01,130 --> 00:32:05,970
Dear Mr. Dan Levy and cast, crew, and
writers of Schitt's Creek, we belong to

511
00:32:05,970 --> 00:32:09,910
large private Facebook group called
Serendipity Doodah for Moms, home of the

512
00:32:09,910 --> 00:32:10,910
Mama Bears.

513
00:32:11,050 --> 00:32:14,890
We have more than 5 ,000 moms in the
group, and many of us are working to

514
00:32:14,890 --> 00:32:19,330
the world a kinder, safer, more loving
place for all LGBTQ people to live.

515
00:32:19,890 --> 00:32:23,950
More than 1 ,800 of us are signing this
letter because we wanted to say thank

516
00:32:23,950 --> 00:32:29,210
you for the LGBTQ characters,
relationships, and storylines that

517
00:32:29,210 --> 00:32:30,129
in Schitt's Creek.

518
00:32:30,130 --> 00:32:34,670
Your commitment to represent love and
tolerance in your show is so important

519
00:32:34,670 --> 00:32:35,670
families like ours.

520
00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:40,880
Your willingness to explore, inform, and
educate about LGBTQ people and their

521
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,940
relationships in an entertaining but
respectful and positive manner sets a

522
00:32:44,940 --> 00:32:45,940
that is often missing.

523
00:32:46,260 --> 00:32:50,820
You have created new ways for queer
viewers to see themselves represented,

524
00:32:50,820 --> 00:32:54,840
in its own way, that is just as
important as the battles we are still

525
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,640
Therefore, the work you have all done on
Schitt's Creek has encouraged us

526
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,280
greatly and given us hope about the
future for our kids.

527
00:33:03,050 --> 00:33:07,150
We sincerely believe that shows like
Fitz Creek will serve as a catalyst to

528
00:33:07,150 --> 00:33:12,150
change the world into a kinder, safer,
more loving place for all LGBTQ people

529
00:33:12,150 --> 00:33:15,130
live. And because of that, we will
remain forever grateful.

530
00:33:15,410 --> 00:33:19,190
You've made a lot of mama bears happy,
and as a result, you have a whole bunch

531
00:33:19,190 --> 00:33:20,190
of fans forever.

532
00:33:20,410 --> 00:33:22,470
With sincere gratitude and respect.

533
00:33:25,130 --> 00:33:26,130
Wow.

534
00:33:26,910 --> 00:33:27,910
Okay.

535
00:33:28,370 --> 00:33:29,370
Well.

536
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,860
Can you see that? I am very proud of the
fact that this show sort of shines like

537
00:33:33,860 --> 00:33:37,400
a positive light out there into people's
homes.

538
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,680
But the fact that people are also
experiencing something deeper through

539
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,360
show, you can't ask for anything better.
It's wonderful.

540
00:34:02,569 --> 00:34:07,010
Like life, when you know that there's an
end to it, it makes the in -between

541
00:34:07,010 --> 00:34:11,770
feel meaningful and you feel like you've
got to make the most of it. Did David

542
00:34:11,770 --> 00:34:13,110
say something to upset you?

543
00:34:13,350 --> 00:34:16,710
He can be cruel, but it's all fear
-based here, so please don't take it

544
00:34:16,710 --> 00:34:17,710
personally.

545
00:34:18,050 --> 00:34:21,690
No, I just realized that this is like
the last time we're all going to be

546
00:34:22,370 --> 00:34:23,370
Like this.

547
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:28,040
Not only is it incredible to have a job,
but it's incredible to have a job on a

548
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,900
show that I love and that has affected
the lives of other people in such a big

549
00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:36,420
way. I've never liked to smile as much
as I like yours.

550
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,159
I've never felt as safe as I do when I'm
with you.

551
00:34:41,020 --> 00:34:46,840
I've never felt love like I do when
we're together.

552
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:49,659
But knowing that you'll always be
waiting.

553
00:34:50,190 --> 00:34:51,510
I can't read it.

554
00:34:52,489 --> 00:34:56,909
It hits me and waves that it's the end.
We don't watch each other shoot every

555
00:34:56,909 --> 00:35:01,490
scene, but in the table read, when you
read the script, you're there to watch

556
00:35:01,490 --> 00:35:03,490
every character do their scene. That was
killer.

557
00:35:03,970 --> 00:35:04,970
All right, driver.

558
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:07,230
We're ready.

559
00:35:07,330 --> 00:35:11,350
We watch the car continue down the road
and into the distance, end up here.

560
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:27,920
Has it hit me yet?

561
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:29,700
I think so.

562
00:35:30,220 --> 00:35:33,520
I feel like I've processed it thoroughly
and properly.

563
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,060
But who knows? Who knows what the day
will bring?

564
00:35:38,740 --> 00:35:44,900
I think it must have been a really hard
decision to call this one quits, but I

565
00:35:44,900 --> 00:35:48,000
can't help thinking that somehow it's
right.

566
00:35:54,670 --> 00:35:58,130
perpetually impressed by the grace of
our fans.

567
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:05,090
Because while they were quite upset and
saddened by the news, there was this

568
00:36:05,090 --> 00:36:07,870
positive sentiment of like, we
understand.

569
00:36:08,490 --> 00:36:15,350
To have something to look forward to is
what I had for six years. I

570
00:36:15,350 --> 00:36:21,630
knew that for a few months, I was going
to get to go to work

571
00:36:21,630 --> 00:36:23,250
and feel

572
00:36:24,330 --> 00:36:25,510
And feel joy.

573
00:36:27,550 --> 00:36:29,310
Yes, last day.

574
00:36:31,410 --> 00:36:37,670
Last sad day. I'm sure it will hit me in
our last scene

575
00:36:37,670 --> 00:36:43,970
on our last day when we actually leave
the kids and the motel.

576
00:36:44,150 --> 00:36:50,890
And in a major way, it probably will hit
me two or three weeks

577
00:36:50,890 --> 00:36:52,250
after we stop shooting.

578
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:58,000
When I finally sit back and say, oh, my
God, what have we done?

579
00:37:01,020 --> 00:37:04,020
Why is it ending?

580
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,640
It's going to be a really hard goodbye.
And I've tried to just kind of

581
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:18,020
compartmentalize the extreme sadness
that I know I'm going to feel and the

582
00:37:18,020 --> 00:37:21,180
extreme void in my life.

583
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:28,040
This has been a constant for six years,
and that's not going to be there

584
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:33,380
anymore. So that's tough, but the
friendships that I have made are so

585
00:37:33,460 --> 00:37:37,420
and I'm going to be inviting myself over
to Catherine O 'Hara's house for dinner

586
00:37:37,420 --> 00:37:39,200
for years to come.

587
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,460
Cut. Cut it.

588
00:37:43,260 --> 00:37:45,980
Let us check that.

589
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:51,500
Ladies and gentlemen.

590
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,260
She's the best sister ever.

591
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,620
That's a series rap, a Schitt's Creek
rap on Annie Murphy.

592
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:03,600
I

593
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:12,920
am

594
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:18,440
proud of all of the people that helped
create her and helped create the show.

595
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,180
Oh, I didn't think this was going to
happen.

596
00:38:26,540 --> 00:38:33,200
The show has definitely

597
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,280
created a family. Everyone is so
respectful of each other.

598
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,560
And that tone was set really early on.

599
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:46,000
Inclusion and respect and warmth and
friendship. And it's just been this.

600
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,520
amazing group of people that have so
much fun together.

601
00:38:49,740 --> 00:38:50,740
Aw, Chris.

602
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,960
How did I get to see you this much? Aw.

603
00:38:55,080 --> 00:39:01,200
Thank you so much. There is just this
extra nice, lovely layer of gratitude

604
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,300
appreciation for what it is that we're
doing.

605
00:39:03,860 --> 00:39:04,860
Faster.

606
00:39:06,100 --> 00:39:12,100
It was an incredibly welcoming place to
be, from the read -throughs to costume

607
00:39:12,100 --> 00:39:14,880
fittings to my first day on set.

608
00:39:15,340 --> 00:39:18,060
That's also a series wrap for Daniel
Levy.

609
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:28,640
Wow.

610
00:39:31,860 --> 00:39:35,260
I feel

611
00:39:35,260 --> 00:39:42,120
like so grateful that I got to be part
of something

612
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,720
that I think is forever and is...

613
00:39:45,070 --> 00:39:47,050
and made a mark.

614
00:39:47,390 --> 00:39:50,010
The whole experience has been, it's just
been magical.

615
00:39:50,310 --> 00:39:51,950
It doesn't feel like six years.

616
00:39:52,250 --> 00:39:56,970
I think you feel the impact of the show
ending more significantly because of how

617
00:39:56,970 --> 00:39:57,970
much people love it.

618
00:39:58,210 --> 00:40:04,390
There has been a love that has been
offered with the show that people feel,

619
00:40:04,530 --> 00:40:10,170
and they've given it back to us in an
incredible amount.

620
00:40:10,750 --> 00:40:13,210
We feel it. We feel it.

621
00:40:16,750 --> 00:40:22,850
It's so special that it's become this
little phenomenon that was born in our

622
00:40:22,850 --> 00:40:28,470
family. I think that's the trippiest
part of it all, is that this is my

623
00:40:29,950 --> 00:40:36,590
I think mainly I'll miss just coming to
work every day with these people. We've

624
00:40:36,590 --> 00:40:42,430
had the greatest crew, many of whom were
with us from the very beginning. A

625
00:40:42,430 --> 00:40:44,170
great cast of characters.

626
00:40:44,990 --> 00:40:50,770
And the opportunity of having had a
chance to work with Sarah and Daniel on

627
00:40:50,770 --> 00:40:51,770
this.

628
00:40:52,630 --> 00:40:59,550
It's something that I'll never get the
opportunity to do again.

629
00:40:59,610 --> 00:41:06,550
And I do not take for granted one day
that I've been so lucky to be able to

630
00:41:06,550 --> 00:41:07,550
with my family.

631
00:41:10,890 --> 00:41:13,410
I don't know.

632
00:41:14,540 --> 00:41:15,540
A lot.

633
00:41:17,540 --> 00:41:18,540
I'll miss a lot.

634
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,500
I do this thing when I cry where I
snort.

635
00:41:25,900 --> 00:41:27,280
Sounds like a warthog.

636
00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:31,920
I'll miss a lot of everything.

637
00:41:35,740 --> 00:41:42,180
I think it'll all come together in just
a giant cry at some point.

638
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,900
but I can't pinpoint exactly what that
day will be. But I'll call you.

639
00:41:54,900 --> 00:42:00,560
I feel good about the fact that this
will end on a beautiful high.

640
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:07,500
And, yeah, it is sad, but it was six
beautiful years working with some

641
00:42:07,580 --> 00:42:09,400
really beautiful people.

642
00:42:13,530 --> 00:42:14,530
I'm crying.

643
00:42:14,910 --> 00:42:16,110
That's terrible. I'm going to stop.

644
00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:54,980
It's just the... It's like a family.

645
00:42:55,340 --> 00:43:00,040
You know, it's hard to take a bite.

646
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:07,460
And that town you pass through, it's not
called Shitsville.

647
00:43:08,220 --> 00:43:09,420
It's called Shits Creek.

648
00:43:11,020 --> 00:43:12,240
And it's where we live.

649
00:43:23,340 --> 00:43:28,780
It's an amazing thing to have a chapter
of our lives documented like this and to

650
00:43:28,780 --> 00:43:32,400
be able to go back and look at it when
we're all old and crusty and say, like,

651
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:33,400
well, we had this.

652
00:43:53,610 --> 00:43:55,630
Say New York City.
