All right let's begin this interview. So, what's the first thing you thought of this morning? - What I was gonna eat for breakfast. - [Interviewer] What's the first thing on your to-do list? - Ordering what I was going to eat for breakfast. - [Interviewer] What's the fourth thing on your to-do list? - Figuring out where I was gonna go for lunch. - [Interviewer] What's something that you feel like should be on your to-do list but it's not? - Scheduling a workout for after the breakfast and lunch. - [Interviewer] And what's your go-to breakfast? - Blueberry ricotta pancakes from Little Dom's around the corner. - [Interviewer] Delicious. - Mm-hm. - [Interviewer] All right. - Come on in. - [Interviewer] Who's your favorite artist? - Chris Knight is a favorite. I have a lot of his work. He's also Canadian. - [Interviewer] Nice, and favorite cocktail? - Oh no! Cosmopolitan on the rocks. Can I say that in 2019? - [Interviewer] Yeah, you can. It's unique, that's a unique answer. And what's your favorite scent? - Anything woody, like a burnt wood. Like a cedar or a pine, something oody. - [Interviewer] Okay, who is this friendly little furry guy? - This is Redmond. - [Interviewer] Hey, Redmond. - This is my dog and best friend. - [Interviewer] How would Redmond describe himself if he could? - Better than all of us. - [Interviewer] How do you think he'd describe you? - I don't wanna know. - [Interviewer] What's your favorite thing about your dog? - He is very calm and level-headed. Qualities that I strive for every day of my life. - [Interviewer] Okay Dan, I'm a huge huge fan of "Schitt's Creek". I love that show-- - Thank you. - [Interviewer] And I'm just putting it out there, did you have any idea when it started that you'd be here five seasons deep, Emmy-nominated, next to the likes of all these shows right now? - Absolutely not. The past six years have been an absolute dream come true. - [Interviewer] Congratulations. - Thank you. - [Interviewer] And you acted, produced, wrote, and show ran "Schitt's Creek". How are you still standing? - You might wanna ask my therapist. I don't know. I think when you do something that you're passionate about, that you love, it just comes quite easily. - [Interviewer] Which of those roles did you truly relish the most? - I loved doing them all at the same time. There was something quite amazing about having an idea that only existed in my head and by the end of it, seeing it come to life. It was fantastic. - [Interviewer] What will you miss the most about it? - The people. - [Interviewer] Now your character, David, once famously said, "When it comes to fashion--" - Uh oh. - [Interviewer] "Durable and elegant "usually don't go hand-in-hand." Is this really true? - I love durability in my clothing and I think this sweater is both durable and elegant so I'm gonna say I disagree with David Rose. [laughs] - [Interviewer] Now as someone who is never not well-dressed-- - Thank you. - [Interviewer] What style advice can you offer? - I think you have to feel comfortable in the clothes that you're wearing because if you are uncomfortable, people can see and people can tell and that's not a good look. - [Interviewer] Is there any trend you are uncomfortable trying? - Hats, but I've tried all those trends and they did not work out unfortunately. - [Interviewer] What was the last thing that you purchased? - A house. - [Interviewer] Congrats again. - Thank you very much. - [Interviewer] Adulting so hard! - Mm-hm, I know, I'm terrified and excited. - [Interviewer] What's the most lux thing that you've ever worn? - Probably the Rick Owens leather jacket that I wear in the pilot episode of our show. It was actually mine from my own closet. I bought it with my first paycheck. I went to the store in New York. I swiped my credit card, my hand was shaking, and I've worn it every day since and I'm so glad that it made it into the show. You gotta get your money's worth at the end of the day. - [Interviewer] What is something you can never over-invest in? - Your relationships with your friends, and family, and loved ones. - [Interviewer] Wise words, what is your most prized possession? - My relationships and I mean this is gonna seem sort of boastful. - [Interviewer] Okay. - But why not? - [Interviewer] I'm ready for it. - My MTV Movie Award. - [Interviewer] That's it, I was gonna say, "That is an MTV Movie Award!" - It is indeed. - [Interviewer] I saw the popcorn. - And I'll tell you why it means so much to me. I started my career at MTV as a television host so to win this for my role on "Schitt's Creek" was a full circle moment. - [Interviewer] That's cool, look at that. - Its also very heavy so I use it to work out. - [Interviewer] Yeah, it's a good way to do exercise. - [whispers] I don't, I don't do that. - [Interviewer] What is your favorite movie of all time? - Bridget Jones's Diary. - [Interviewer] What is your favorite song of all time? - If pressed, I would say "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton/ Whitney Houston. I will take either versions. - [Interviewer] It's a good combo. - Mm-hm. - [Interviewer] Now I heard a rumor that you're a huge Beyonce fan. Can you rank every Beyonce album? - First of all, absolutely not. Why would I ever do that? They're all masterpieces. - [Interviewer] All right. - And second of all, is someone not a Beyonce fan? - [Interviewer] Doesn't exist. - Okay. - [Interviewer] Doesn't exist. - Just checking. - [Interviewer] Now if it's not Beyonce though, can you rank every Mariah Carey album? - Absolutely not, why would you ask me that? They're all masterpieces. - [Interviewer] Okay, I get it, I get it. Now, if you were seated at a dinner table with Beyonce and Mariah Carey,
