>> Stephen: FOLKS YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT.
MY NEXT GUEST IS A COMEDY ICON YOU KNOW FROM "SCTV," "BEST IN
SHOW," AND THE "AMERICAN PIE" MOVIES.
HE'S NOW STARRING IN SEASON FOUR OF "SCHITT'S CREEK."
>> EVERYBODY, JUST CALM DOWN.
NOBODY'S BEEN MURDERED.
>> THE OLD MAN IN ROOM FOUR DIED ALONE IN HIS SLEEP.
>> WHY DO I FIND THAT SCENARIO EVEN MORE BONE CHILLING THAN
MURDER.
>> STEVIE, DO WE KNOW HOW THIS MAN EXPIRED?
>> DO I LOOK LIKE A CORONER?
>> NIKKI, YOU DON'T WANT PEOPLE ANSWERING THAT QUESTION.
>> IT FEELS LIKE EVERY TIME THE MOTEL SELLS OUT, SOMEONE DIES.
>> WE'VE ONLY SOLD OUT ONE NIGHT.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME EUGENE LEVY!
♪ ♪ ♪
>> Stephen: THE PEOPLE KNOW.
>> THANK YOU!
>> Stephen: SO NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> YEAH.
I GOT HIT WITH SOMETHING LAST NIGHT.
THEY'RE CALLING A FLU BUG.
>> Stephen: OH, IS THIS THE FLU BUG THAT IS THE WORST FLU
BUG OF ALL TIME?
>> IENT KNOW WHAT IT IS.
APPARENTLY, IT'S VERY RARE IN THIS HEMISPHERE, YOU KNOW, AND I
DON'T KNOW WHERE I PICKED IT UP.
>> Stephen: AND THAT'S WHY WE TOUCHED ELBOWS JUST NOW.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: SO, HOW LONG I DO HAVE, DOC?
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING, YOU'REICA NAIPPED.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND I HAVE A PLILG PLIL QUESTION.
>> YES, SEE.
>> Stephen: I HAVE A POLITICAL QUESTION-- JUDGE YDID YOU POINT
AT YOUR CHEST.
THE MAPLE LEAF.
>> THAT'S MY ORDER OF CANADA.
>> Stephen: WHAT IS THE ORDER OF CANADA?
>> WELL, THAT'S THE HIGHEST CIVILIAN HONOR YOU CAN GET IN
CANADA.
YOU'RE BEING HONORED FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS.
CAN YOUR GOVERNMENT-- OUR GOVERNMENT JUST SHUT DOWN FAIR
COUPLE DAYS.
CAN THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN?
>> OH, THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT WOULD NEVER SHUT DOWN.
ARE YOU KIDDING?
THE APOLOGIES ALONE.
( LAUGHTER ) WOULD GO ON FOR YEARS.
YOU KNOW?
NO, NO.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE ONE OF MY FAVORITE CANADIANS, ALONG WITH
ONE OF YOUR OLD ROOMMATES.
AND I HAVE A PHOTO HERE.
I HOPE YOU CAN EXPLAIN TO US WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE.
YOU WERE ROOMMATES WITH-- HERE'S YOU.
LET'S SEE IF WE CAN FIND THIS HERE.
THAT'S YOU RIGHT THERE.
>> OH, MY.
>> Stephen: AND THIS YOUNG MAN RIGHT HERE IS YOUR ROOMINATE.
>> MARTY SHORT.
>> Stephen: MARTIN SHORT RIGHT THERE.
>> AND NEXT TO ME-- NEXT TO ME IS GILDA RADNER.
AND WAY UP AT THE TOP IS VICTOR GARBER, VERY, VERY --
>> Stephen: THAT'S VICTOR GARBER?
>> YES, FROM ""TITANIC" YES.
DISPR FR-- YES, HE'S DONE A LOT OF TV AND THEATER.
>> Stephen: SO WHAT WAS IT LIKE ROOMING WITH MARTIN SHORT
BACK IN THE DAY?
>> OH, WELL, MARTY AND I-- MARTY AND I ARE THE OLDEST IT AND
DEAREST FRIENDS.
MARTY AND I GO BACK-- WE WENT TO SCHOOL TOGETHER BUT WHEN WE
STARTED PROFESSIONALLY, WE-- WE GOT A-- LIKE "GODSPELL" THAT
PICTURE, THAT WAS OUR FIRST SHOW.
AND WE RENTED-- WE RENTED A HOUSE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, WE
WERE-- WE WERE MAKING $140 A WEEK.
WE WERE ROLLING IN FOLDING GOLDEN.
UH-OH.
THAT'S IT!
>> Stephen: $140 A WEEK.
CANADIAN.
>> AND THAT'S CANADIAN, EXACTLY.
IT'S ABOUT DID THE $48.50, U.S.
AND WE REPRESENTED A BIG-- WELL, NOT A BIG HOUSE.
WE REPRESENTED A HOUSE.
AND WE HAD THE MOST FUN.
THE ADDRESS ON THAT HOUSEUE KNOW, THERE'S A STREET IN
TORONTO.
IT'S ONE OF THE ODDEST NAMES FOR A STREET.
IT'S CALLED "AVENUE ROAD."
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> SO OUR HOUSE WAS ON AVENUE ROAD, 1063 AVENUE ROAD, AND IT
BECAME QUITE INFAMOUS IN SOME VERY NARROW CIRCLES.
MARTY WROTE ABOUT IT IN IN HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY "1063" WHICH WE
USED TO GET TOGETHER WHILE WE WERE DOING "GODSPELL" AND
THERE'S ANOTHER BOOK I THINK MENTIONING IT NOW.
WE USED TO EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT HAVE WHAT WE CALLED "FRIDAY
NIGHT SERVICES."
>> Stephen: LIKE RELIGIOUS SERVICES?
>> NO.
( LAUGHTER ) NO.
IT WAS-- I WOULD CALL IT IMBIBING AND LAUGHING.
>> Stephen: OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
>> IMBIBING AND LAUGHING.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID UNTIL THE WEE, WEE HOURS.
AND MARTY WOULD RECORD THE SESSIONS ON HIS TAPE RECORDER,
AND HE STILL HAS THE TAPES FROM THOSE FRIDAY NIGHT SESSION S.
>> Stephen: WELL, NOW YOU'RE DOING "SCHITT'S CREEK," AND I
SHOULD POINT OUT-- WE TALKED ABOUT THIS THE LAST TIME YOU
WERE HERE, AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE-- CBS MAKES ME
PUT UP THIS SIGN WHEN I SAY "SCHITT'S CREEK."
TO PROVE THAT IT'S JUST A MAN'S NAME.
>> WELL, IT IS -- >> Stephen: THE NAME OF THE
TOWN.
>> YES, IT IS.
THE NAME OF THE FAMILY THAT FOUNDED THE TOWN WAS THE
SCHITT'S FAMILY.
BUT LISTEN, THERE ARE SCHITT'SS IN EVERY PHONEBOOK IN EVERY
COUNTRY AROUND THE WORLD.
IT IS-- IT IS A LEGITIMATE NAME, UNFORTUNATELY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO
HAVE IT.
>> Stephen: OH, YEAH.
THERE ARE-- THERE ARE SCHITT'S IN EVERY COUNTRY.
WE'VE GOT A FEW DOWN HERE.
THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE.
>> YES, YES, WELL, YES.
AS A CANADIAN, I SAY, "DON'T DRAG ME INTO YOUR NIGHTMARE."
YES.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: NOW, DOES IT TAKE
PLACE IN CANADA?
>> "SCHITT'S CREEK"?
>> Stephen: YEAH.
( LAUGHTER ) >> WELL, IT TAKES PLACE-- NO, WE
DON'T KNOW-- THERE IS NO LOCATION FOR IT.
THERE IS NO SETTING.
THERE IS NO COUNTRY.
IT IS WHAT IT IS.
>> Stephen: AND YOU DO IT WITH YOUR CHILDREN ARE IN IT?
>> YEAH, MY SON, DAN, IS MY-- I CREATED THE SHOW WITH MY SON
DAN.
AND HE PLAYS MY SON IN THE SHOW.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> WHICH MAKES IT KIND OF EASY, FROM AN ACTING STANDPOINT.
>> Stephen: YOU'VE ALREADY DONE ALL THE BACKGROUND WORK.
>> I'VE DIDN'T WORK.
I KNOW WHAT'S GOING-- I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
HIS CHARACTER IS A LITTLE KIND OF, YOU KNOW-- IT'S MORE OUT
THERE THAN MY SON ACTUALLY IS.
BUT WHEN I'M WORKING WITH DAN IN A SCENE, IT REALLY IS LIKE I'M
WORKING WITH MY OWN SON.
WHEN I'M WORKING WITH THE GIRL THAT PLAYS MY DAUGHTER, ANNIE
MURPHY, TERRIFIC ACTRESS, I ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE I'M WORKING
WITH MY DAUGHTER.
I HAVE VERY FAMILIAL FEELINGS.
>> Stephen: BUT SHE'S NOT YOUR DAUGHTER.
>> I'M NOT MY DAUGHTER.
WHEN I AM WORKING WITH MY REAL DAUGHTER ON THE SHOW, I ALSO
FEEL LIKE I'M DEALING WITH MY REAL DAUGHTER.
( LAUGHTER ) ON THE SHOW.
SO NOW IT'S GETTING A LITTLE MUDDY.
I'M NOT-- MUDDY, MUDDY.
>> Stephen: THINGS ARE MUDDY IN "SCHITT'S CREEK," IS WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING.
THANK YOU.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
"SCHITT'S CREEK" SEASON FOUR PREMIERES TOMORROW ON POP TV.
EUGENE LEVY, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE BY MIDLAND.
