    The 37-year-old actor calls out officials at the Comedy Central India for cutting off the scene where his character kisses Dustin Milligan’s Ted Mullens in the fifth season.
    Oct 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Dan Levy has hit out at officials from Comedy Central India for censoring a same-sex kiss in his hit show “Schitt’s Creek”.
    The 37-year-old actor and writer shared a March, 2019 tweet from Comedy Central India, featuring a promo video from the fifth episode of the show’s fifth season, “Homecoming”.
    The video features a house party scene with Levy’s character, David Rose, who kisses Ted Mullens (Dustin Milligan) during a game of spin the bottle. However, Comedy Central India cut that scene from their broadcast
    Taking to Twitter on Tuesday (06Oct20), he fired, “You showed the kiss between two women, you showed the kiss between a woman and a man, then removed the kiss between two men?”

    “This is a show about the power of inclusivity. The censorship of gay intimacy is making a harmful statement against that message,” he concluded with the hashtag, “#loveislove.”
    Levy later clarified that his comments were directed towards Comedy Central India, not the flagship Comedy Central network, adding, “I thought I made this pretty clear but for those who are confused, this is about a channel in India.”
    “@ComedyCentral in America is not censoring the show. They have been lovely and respectful. Thank you for your time,” he concluded, with the peace sign emoji and the upside down smiley face emoji.
    Dan Levy added a slew of prestigious awards to his collection this year, thanks to his role on the show. He took home multiple trophies at the Primetime Emmy Awards.

      Dan Levy, his father Eugene and their co-stars Catherine O’Hara and Annie Murphy sweep clean the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards with him also winning gongs for his writing and directing work.
      Sep 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Dan Levy has teased a potential “Schitt’s Creek” movie following the show’s incredible success at Sunday’s (September 21) Emmy Awards.
      The programme swept the awards ceremony – taking home honours for its stars Daniel and his dad Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, and Annie Murphy. Daniel also won gongs for his writing and directing work on the Canadian TV show, sharing the latter with Andrew Cividino.
      While the show came to its official end earlier this year with the airing of season three, fans are still clamouring for more of the Rose family and their antics in “Schitt’s Creek” – leading to speculation that a big-screen adventure could be in the pipeline.

      However, Daniel played coy when asked about the potential for a film, telling Variety: “If there is an idea that pops into my head it has to be really freaking good because this is a nice way to say goodbye. Fingers crossed we get a nice idea popping into our head soon….I would love to work with these people again.”

      As for the programme’s success at the Emmys, Daniel – who had gathered with his co-stars for a watch party and celebration in Canada – gushed: “What an absolutely unbelievable way to end our series, I don’t think you could ever ask for a better conclusion than tonight, we are absolutely thrilled.”
      During the backstage interview, cast member and Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara also talked about which wig would Moira wear to the Emmys. “For the premiere Moria went with her own look, because when it’s a serious moment and there’s no facade needed, Moria lets herself show,” she said. “For me I guess it would have been the big pink thing.”
