As Moira Rose might say, what a pulchritudinous eventide!
Hi!Hi, how are you?
I think the more relevant question is how are you?Im doing well today.
All things considered, its been a nice 24 hours.
Have you been in Toronto or L.A.?Ive been in Toronto.
So Ive been back in Canada for a while, and its been very nice here.
Have you been with your parents then?I have.
Ive been living with my parents for the better part of a month.
On that note, Im curious to get a peek into your head as the night was going on.
You start off with Catherine OHara winning, which I know was the thing you really wanted.Yes.
It was just such an emotional night.
I was just so proud.
I was proud of our relationship.
I was proud of the work that he did.
I didnt want to jump the gun in any way.
Theres a full-circle moment to the writing category for me because it began with writing.
The whole process just felt oddly not real.
It was just this game that eventually wed have to give them all back.
Looking back, everyone will definitely know that this was the 2020 Emmys.Yeah.
I had a hazmat question.
Everyone was trying their best.
I saw that you were wearing a Thom Browne outfit.
Was that a nod to theSchitts Creekfinale?Yeah.
Luckily for me, the lovely team at Thom Browne helped me out with that.
I believe the ensemble was shipped from Tokyo and got to me just in time.
You mentioned you were worried about a Twitter backlash.
But fortunately it all seemed to be really positive and encouraging.
To watch Annie win, I think that was my biggest excitement of the night.
It was so deserved.
I know that she didnt see that coming.
I just remember screaming into her face.
I turned to her and I said, Are you nervous?
And she said, Uhhhhhh,yeah.
And that put me at ease.
I remember that moment so vividly because we felt like we were in completely over our heads.
When she won, it came flooding back.
And then to watch her win was … Now Im getting emotional and I dont want to.
It was our last season.
Canadas conservative party has beenattackingthe CBC [Canadian Broadcasting Corporation], threatening to slash funding.
I was wondering what your thoughts were, consideringSchitts Creekbegan on the CBC.
Do you feel its important to defend at this moment?I absolutely do.
All I can say is that the CBC was the first online grid to pick up our show.
We never had any conversations with them about any kind of regulations.
They seemed to just be cheerleaders from day one.
I cant imagine Canada without it.
Whats the state of your relationship withMariahat this point?I want to say thriving.
She literally came on the phone and said, Hellooo.
I burst into laughter and just was giddy the whole way through.
