This may come as a bit of a surprise, but apparently it’s a better experience to be nominated for a performance Emmy than it is to be a red carpet Emmy correspondent.
Who knew?!
Dan Levy of Schitt’s Creek zoomed it out with Seth Myers on Late Night with Seth Myers to talk about the surreal week he’s been having after the nominations were announced on Tuesday.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Schitt’s Creek scored much-deserved nominations for Best Comedy Series, as well as Best Actor and Best Actress for Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara, respectively. Dan Levy and Annie Murphy also received nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Actress as well.
They cleaned up pretty well!
Levy called his work on past red carpets “unfortunate,” adding, “It takes a very particular person to not be soul crushed by the experience of interviewing on a red carpet, because let’s be honest, nobody on the carpet really wants to talk to anybody, so being the person that’s like, ‘Where’d you get your dress from?!’ you’re inherently not someone that person wants to talk to.”

He really ruins Schitts Creek. It’s a good show except the parts with Dan Levy
EddieB
He ruins it?! Aside form creating, writing and acting in it? Silly.

MisterP’s parents say the same thing about him. Disappointing since day 1.

I hope Catherine O’Hara wins. She’s the best part of the show!

It would be a crow-ning achievement.

While I can’t imagine the show without any of the characters, Dan Levy’s performance as David Rose is definitely worthy of an Emmy nomination. His portrayal of the character, his facial expressions, his timing all help make the show the great entertainment that it is.

This show creep up on me. When I binged watched it this past spring I was sad to read that it was going off the air. The acting, the writing, the characters and the ending of the show was above my expectations. They deserve to be nominated and hopefully win
