SHOW ON POP TV IS CALLED "SCHITT'S CREEK."
>> "SCHITT'S CREEK."
>> S-C-H-- >> YOU MIGHT NOTICE ON THE
BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN IT HAS THE LOGO "SCHITT'S CREEK" BECAUSE I
AM REQUIRED BY THE NETWORK TO HAVE THAT LOGO UP WHENEVER I SAY
THE NAME OF YOUR SHOW.
>> SO THEY CAN SEE HOW IT IS SPELLED.
>> THEY'LL GET WITH IT IN TIME.
LISTEN, IT'S THE MOST APPROPRIATE NAME FOR OUR SHOW.
OUR SHOW IS ABOUT A WEALTHY, WEALTHY FAMILY WHO LOSE
EVERYTHING.
>> Stephen: THEY USED TO HAVE THE SECOND BIGGEST VIDEO RENTAL
STORE IN AMERICA.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
( LAUGHTER ) A CHAIN OF VIDEO STORES, SECOND
LARGEST IN NORTH AMERICA.
SO LOSE-- AND THEY BOUGHT A EY AS A JOKE GIFT FOR THEIR SON.
>> WHICH I GAVE TO MY 16-YEAR-OLD SON AS A BIRTHDAY
PRESENT.
AND THE REASON WE BOUGHT IT AS A JOKE WAS BECAUSE THE TOWN WAS
CALLED "SCHITT'S CREEK."
AND NOW THAT THEY'VE LOST EVERYTHING, THE ONLY PLACE THEY
CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD TO LIVE IS "SCHITT'S CREEK."
THAT IS THE PREMISE OF THE SHOW.
REALLY ABOUT AAMILY, THIS WEALTHY NEVER
A FAMILYY HAD MONEY, LEARNING TO FUNCTION IN TWO AJOINING ROOMS
IN A "SCHITT'S CREEK" >> WE RAISED OUR IN
CAPTIV STORY, VERY WEALTHAPTIVITY.
NOW, THEY'RE LEARNING TO SURVIVE IN THE WILD, THE REAL WORLD.
WE HAD A SCENE THE OTHER DAY WHERE AN MURPH WHOA PLAYS OUR
DAUGHTER WAS HELPING TOE SHEETS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN H
LIFE AND SAID, "IS THE ANOTHER SHEET EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE?"
"WHY DO YOU ASK?" "BECAUSE ON THE LABEL IT SAYS
'TWIN'."
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
IT'S A REASONABLE QUESTION.
>> IT IS.
>> Stephen: DO EACH OF YOU HAVE CHILDREN?
>> YES, I DO.
>> OH, DAN LEVY.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE YOUR SON DANNY.
>> MY SON, DAN,ND IREATED THE SHOW AND PCING THE SHOW
SHOW, AND DAN, MY SON, ON
THE SHOW.
WHOLE OTHER THINGTO TALK ABOUT.
( APPLAUSE ) 7.
>> Stephen: I GOT ONE OTHER THING I WANT TO GO OVER WITH
YOU.
ANOTHER THING THAT EVERY LOVES YOU FROM THEY CERTAINLY LOVE YOU
FROM IS THE WORK YOU'VE DONE IN OPHER GUEST MOVIES
"WAITING FOR GUFFMAN."
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) "BEST IN SHOW."
"AND ATY WIND."
DO YOU ENJOY IMPROVISING YOUR LINES MORE THAN DOING WRITTEN
MATERIAL?
>> WELL, IT'S A DIFFERENT WAY TO GO.
>> YEAH.
>> I MEAN, AN IMPROVISED MOVIE, LIKE THESE MOVIES WHERE WE KIND
OF HAVE A WRITTEN OUTLINE BUT WE DON'T WRITE THE DIALOGUE, IS A
VERY, VERY FUN WAY TO SHOOT A MOVIE BECAUSE YOU JUST DON'T
KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY REHEARSALS.
SO IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO IMPROVISE, AND YOU ALWAYS USE KIND OF
IMPROVISATION IN-- IN A SCRIPTED SHOW.
YOU ALWAYS-- YOU ALWAYS HAVE THAT IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU IMPROVISING IN "SCHITT'S CREEK"?
>> I'M IMPROVISING RIGHT NOW.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> YEAH.
>> WE ALL ARE.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE I'M JUST READING EVERYTHING ALL OF OF
HERE.
I READ EVERYTHING OFF OF THAT.
>> I WISH I HAD THAT.
>> WE DO A LITTLE IMPROVISING OFF "SCHITT'S CREEK."
>> Stephen: DOES IT ALWAYS WORK?
>> NO.
>> Stephen: SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE IMPROVISING IN "SCHITT'S
CREEK," AND DOESN'T WORK YOU FIND YOURSELF JUST UP ( BLEEP )
CREEK.
>> WELL, MOST PEOPLE IN "SCHITT'S CREEK" FIND THEMSELVES
IMPROVISING JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY ON THE STREET.
THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS IN "SCHITT'S CREEK."
