Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara stick together in Schitt's Creek

From the Best of Q: Comedians and long-time collaborators Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara on their riches-to-rags comedy, Schitt's Creek.

Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara have shared many adventures since their SCTV days, but their latest collaboration places them up a creek without a chauffeur. The comedic duo play spouses and former millionaires Johnny and Moira Rose in CBC's new riches-to-rags comedy Schitt's Creek

In a conversation from the Best of Q, they join guest host Damian Abraham to discuss the show's eyebrow-raising name, the appeal of character-driven comedy, and why they have sympathy for the unsympathetic Rose family. 


 

The season finale of Schitt's Creek, which was recently renewed for a second season, airs tomorrow night on CBC Television. The show has also started running in the U.S. on the Pop network.
