  • -This year, our first guest became a four-time Emmy-winning

  • actor, director, writer, and producer all in the same night.

  • He stars in a new film called "Happiest Season,"

  • which premieres November 25th on Hulu.

  • Here is Dan Levy. Hey!

  • Dan, look at you. Come on.

  • -Hey, Jimmy.

  • -Hey, this year, the final season

  • of "Schitt's Creek" aired,

  • and you completely swept the Emmys

  • and broke all these records.

  • And I want to tell everyone watching

  • that we're not allowed to say the name of your show

  • without seeing the logo.

  • That's why when I say "Schitt's Creek,"

  • it pops up every time we say it.

  • -It'll come somewhere.

  • -Yeah.

  • But it's been a little while since the Emmys,

  • and I haven't talked to you. Has that night sunk in yet?

  • What was it like?

  • -No, first of all, it was absolute madness.

  • And, no, it will never sink in.

  • I don't think any of us, when we walked into that strange tent

  • in the backyard of an event space in Toronto,

  • really had any indication of what was going to happen.

  • We kind of describe it like

  • you know those kind of, like, "Host a Murder" board games

  • where you invite a bunch of friends over,

  • and each of you comes prepared with, like...

  • -Yes. -...what's your part?

  • You're the doctor. You're the suspicious aunt.

  • It was like we were being hosted

  • at one of those murder dinner parties,

  • except we were all given the character of, like,

  • "You're nominated for an award."

  • And then instead of someone getting murdered at the dinner,

  • we just all got Emmys.

  • It was, like, the greatest night of my life.

  • -It was great. And there's even more

  • congratulations in order for you,

  • because "People's" Sexiest Man Alive issue

  • comes out this Friday, and look who made the list.

  • Look at this. Come on.

  • -Yeah. -Double page spread?

  • -[ Laughs ] -How does that feel?

  • -The best part about this is it's, like --

  • Sure, it's Sexiest Man Alive,

  • but I get the "In Quarantine" part.

  • So there's, like --

  • There's, like, Michael B. Jordan, which is much deserved,

  • and then I'm kind of the one

  • that's, like, peeking my head out of the house

  • being like, "I've been in here for 67 straight days!"

  • -[ Laughs ]

  • -But, listen.

  • -No, you -- -A great honor.

  • -I hear that quarantine led you to discover reality TV.

  • You've never watched reality TV before?

  • -Well, I mean, I worked in reality --

  • Before I did the show, I was working on MTV

  • with "The Hills" for a long time,

  • a show that some people might know.

  • -I love "The Hills." -And I was doing the aftershow

  • for "The Hills."

  • And when you work so closely with a reality television show,

  • and I loved "The Hills" -- -Yeah, me, too.

  • -But it kind of takes the magic out of the experience

  • of watching reality television, 'cause you kind of end up

  • knowing too much about how it works.

  • -Yeah. -So I had to take,

  • like, a long hiatus, and then quarantine happened,

  • and I had quite literally

  • watched every show on television,

  • and so I finally just resolved myself

  • to just accepting the fact that I only have reality TV left.

  • Not to diminish the genre, but it started,

  • and then it became a problem.

  • -Because it's the best thing that's ever existed.

  • -Well, because I couldn't stop watching it,

  • and now I guess it's all I watch.

  • -Yeah. Me, too. What's your jam?

  • What are you watching?

  • -I started with a "Real Housewives of Atlanta."

  • I ended with a "Below Deck Mediterranean."

  • -Oh, my God.

  • That's my jam, "Below Deck."

  • I'm so -- Captain Sandy? -Have you caught up, though?

  • -Captain Sandy or Captain Lee?

  • -Captain Sandy -- -Oh, yeah.

  • -The drama that happens

  • on the last season of "Below Deck Mediterranean" is...

  • -It's unbelievable.

  • -...earth-shattering.

  • -I'm a Hannah fan, from way back.

  • -I have many times thought about vacationing to Australia

  • to take Hannah's yachting course.

  • -I'll go with you. Does she really do that?

  • 'Cause I will go with you.

  • We should do that. -Yeah, that's what she does now.

  • She's teaching a course on how to be a yachtie.

  • And I thought --

  • Should we go? -Dude, I will definitely --

  • I'm there. Are you kidding me? -Okay.

  • -The show is -- The whole drama with Hannah,

  • I was like, "What is going on?"

  • -I would last 25 seconds on that ship.

  • -I can't even.

  • It was just -- Yeah, I agree.

  • -[ Laughs ]

  • -I want to talk about your new movie.

  • -Yeah. -It is called "Happiest Season."

  • It is a great, feel-good holiday movie.

  • Kristen Stewart is, you know, one of my all-times.

  • I just love her so much, man.

  • And I love the plot.

  • I think -- I mean, it just works, and it's funny.

  • You want to tell everyone what it's about?

  • -Yeah. Well, it's the first studio lesbian rom-com,

  • Christmas rom-com.

  • So, round of applause to Clea DuVall,

  • who got that one off of the ground.

  • -Good for Clea DuVall. -And it's about two women

  • who are falling in love,

  • and Mackenzie Davis' character

  • invites Kristen Stewart's character home for the holidays.

  • And then just as they're pulling into the driveway,

  • we realize that Mackenzie has not come out to her family

  • and that Kristen will have to sort of go along with

  • or not go along with this idea that they're now going to

  • play into something that her parents don't know about.

  • And I play Kristen's best friend,

  • who is not having any of the mayhem.

  • And I think -- Yeah.

  • -It's super fun.

  • It's, like, holiday good times.

  • I want to show everyone a clip.

  • Here's Dan Levy in "Happiest Season."

  • Take a look at this.

  • [ Indistinct conversations ]

  • -[ Whispering ] Abby.

  • Abby! [ Clears throat ]

  • Sorry.

  • What?

  • -Um...

  • How are you here?

  • -When are you going to get this?

  • I have been tracking you.

  • Oh, oh -- [ Clears throat ]

  • -Hello. -Hi.

  • -I'm Tipper. This is my home. -Oh.

  • -Are you the ex-boyfriend?

  • -[ Clears throat ] Y-Yes.

  • I'm...John, Abby's heterosexual ex-boyfriend,

  • and I have come to get her back.

  • -Mm, I see.

  • Well, it would have been nice to have known you were coming.

  • But since you are here, enjoy.

  • -Thank you so much.

  • Okay, I nailed that, and she is fabulous.

  • -Dan, I'd love to play a new game with you.

  • Would you mind sticking around?

  • -Hell yes.

  • -More with Dan Levy after the break!

  • Come on back, everybody!

-This year, our first guest became a four-time Emmy-winning
