After wrapping on the hit series, Schitt’s Creek, Dan Levy took on a different type of challenge when he appeared on Hot Ones, a YouTube series from First We Feast which has celebrities eating hot wings while host Sean Evans interviews them.
Throughout the episode, Evans asked Levy questions varying from his days as a host on MTV Canada and a brief stint on Degrassi: The Next Generation to writing and acting on Schitt’s Creek for six seasons. Evans inquired:
“So your father, comedy legend Eugene Levy played Jim’s dad in American Pie, a film that explicitly deals with awkward father/ teen relationship dynamics. What do you remember about being 15 years old and that being the number one movie in the world? It must have been a unique role to see your dad play especially at that age.”
Levy explained as he struggled with a wing dipped in Volcanic Peppers, a hot sauce with a Scoville level of 121,000 (mildly hot):
“A lot of people came up and asked me whether the movie was based on my life. My story is way less interesting. I did not have sex with a pie, unfortunately.”
Evans also questioned Levy on where he ranked himself against others who have played his dad’s son on camera. Levy answered:
“I feel like Jason Biggs did a more successful job at it than I did… I think he (Levy’s father) still prefers Jason to me.”
Levy also revealed the sixth and final season of Schitt’s Creek would be on Netflix in October during the interview.
