  • 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,
