>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WE ARE BACK WITH THE HOST OF
"THE RELUCTANT TRAVELER," EUGENE LEVY.
YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF ENSEMBLE ACTING, THE AMERICAN PIE SERIES
INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS. BUT NOW YOU ARE PLAYING -- NOW
YOU'RE NOT PLAYING ANYTHING, YOU ARE YOURSELF IN THIS SERIES.
IF ONE IS THAT LIKE FOR YOU AND HAVE YOU EVER JUST BEEN YOURSELF
BEFORE? >> Eugene: IT IS FRIGHTENING.
IT IS FRIGHTENING BECAUSE I SPENT 50 YEARS BEING A CHARACTER
ACTOR. AND THE FURTHER REMOVED A
CHARACTER IS FROM WHO I AM, THE MORE COMFORTABLE I AM AND THE
MORE FUN IT WAS. THE CLOSER IT GOT TO I AM, THE
MORE NERVE-RACKING GOD. IN
THAT WAS FRIGHTENING OFF THE TOT
NEVERTHELESS IT WAS A CHARACTER. THERE IS NO CHARACTER HERE, IT
IS JUST ME. YOU KNOW, I'M JUST UNCOMFORTABLE
I'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME.
I DON'T KNOW. YOU HAVE A SECOND CITY
BACKGROUND. >> Stephen: THIS IS THE FIRST
JOB I'D EVER DONE THAT IS NOT A CHARACTER.
>> Eugene: HOW IS THAT THE FIRST TIME YOU DID IT?
>>Stephen: TERRIFYING, AND AT SUCH A BURDEN BECAUSE MY
CHARACTER ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS.
MY CHARACTER ALWAYS HAS AN OPINION OF THINGS, PEOPLE, AND
EVENTS. I HAVE TO TAKE A LOT MORE TIME
ABOUT WHAT I THINK ABOUT SOMETHING BECAUSE I'M
RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT I SAY AND DO.
IF MY CHARACTER CAN DO ANY [BLEEP] THING HE WANTS AND
SOMEBODY WILL DECIDES IF IT STAYS IN THE PIECE.
>> Eugene: IF I HAD A CHARACTER IN MY CHAIR RIGHT NOW
YOU WOULD BE HEARING LAUGHS. [LAUGHTER]
>> Stephen: THE OUTCOME A YACHT.
>> Eugene: YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
>> Stephen: I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
>> Eugene: IT'S FRIGHTENING JUST BEING YOURSELF.
>> Stephen: YOU DO A GOOD EUGENE LEVY, I'VE GOT TO SAY.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] OKAY, BACK TO "SCHITT'S CREEK"
FOR A MOMENT BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A BELOVED SHOW.
SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE, YOU'RE REALLY DOING IT WITH YOUR
FAMILY THERE, YOUR SON AND DAUGHTER.
IS THERE ANY MORE IN THE FUTURE? IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN
BECAUSE PEOPLE LOVE THE SHOW. >> Eugene: YOU KNOW, OF COURSE
WE LOVE THE SHOW AND WE LOVE THE CAST, WE DO ANYTHING TO BE ABLE
TO WORK WITH THAT CAST AGAIN JUST GREAT, TALENTED, BRILLIANT
BUNCH OF ACTORS. MY SON DANIEL HAS ALWAYS SAID,
IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE IDEA. IF THERE IS AN IDEA FOR A
"SCHITT'S CREEK" FOLLOW-UP THAT CAN TAKE US TO AN EVEN HIGHER
POINT THEN WE LEFT OFF ON THE SHOW, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A
GOOD STARTING POINT FOR THAT PROJECT.
IF AND WHEN THAT IDEA HAPPENS, I THINK WE'D BE MORE THAN
DELIGHTED TO ACTUALLY GET IN THEN DO IT AGAIN.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT NOTHING RIGHT NOW.
>> Stephen: YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED BUT PEOPLE AT HOME I
NEVER NOTICED ON THE MONITOR EVERY TIME WE SAY THE WORD
"SCHITT'S CREEK" IT COMES UP ON SCREEN.
>> Eugene: I KNOW, BUT THAT'S BEEN GOING ON --
>> Stephen: CBS WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO SAY "SCHITT'S CREEK"
WITHOUT IT GOING UP ON SCREEN SO THE AUDIENCE AT HOME KNOWS
EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING. [LAUGHTER]
>> Eugene: THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVEN YEARS AND THE WHOLE
THING ABOUT THAT SHOW IS THAT IT'S ACTUALLY SOMEBODY'S NAME.
IT'S A NAME. SCHITT IS A NAME.
IT IS, YOU CAN FIND IN AND ANY PHONE BOOK, THAT'S HOW WE SOLD
IT TO THE NETWORK THAT BROADCAST THE SHOW.
IT'S A REAL NAME. [LAUGHTER]
NOT THE OTHER ONE. NO, BUT OUR SCHITT IS THE REAL
SCHITT. YOU KNOW?
>> Stephen: THAT SHOULD BE CARVED ON SOMETHING.
EUGENE, LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN. "THE RELUCTANT TRAVELER" CAREERS
FRIDAY ON APPLE TV+! WILL BE RIGHT BACK WITH NAS!
