I binged watch Schitt's Creek this past year. It was a ray of sunshine in an otherwise dismal 2020. Having Dan Levy host SNL was a GREAT choice!

[@melissam7146]

Same!

[@aaroncrilly2005]

Catherine O'Hara and Eugene Levy should host an episode together

[@IlaughedIcried]

SECONDED!!!! BIG TIME!!!

[@canaisyoung3601]

Catherine O'Hara actually did host SNL in the 1990s (and she was chosen to be a cast member in the 1980s, but she backed out. Presumably, it was because Michael O'Donoghue scared her off by yelling at the cast and crew and spray-painting "Danger" on her dressing room, but she's gone on record to say that it's because she wanted to stay on SCTV). Eugene Levy was supposed to host in the mid-1980s (with the dearly-departed John Candy as co-host), but season 10's budget was too small for a full season, so a lot of planned episodes got canned, including one where David Letterman hosted and Prince and the Revolution were musical guests. Not saying it will never happen; just wanted to share this bit of trivia.

Real fans didn't need you to clarify. We hear it. Lol!

[@TheOriginalLexa]

Dan is such a natural! He’s giggling at his own jokes, sounds sincere, and just generally sounds perfect for hosting.

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

He does. Eugene was supposed to host SNL with the late John Candy and musical guests Daryl Hall and John Oates but because of a writer's strike the show was never aired.

[@UkeCan1]

The entire show Schitt's Creek is basically Dan laughing at his own jokes. And somehow it works every time.

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

It's kinda touching that he opted for those thick-framed "Levy" glasses all his life. Branding.

[@zzzcocopepe]

They work with the Caterpillar eyebrows. I have the same eyebrows and the black frames kinda match up with the eyebrows

Have been an admirer of Eugene Levy since his performance as Walter Kornbluth, the mermaid-obsessed scientist in Splash. His delivery of “What a week I’m having!” while wearing a half-body cast, is comedy gold. So glad Dan is both his father’s son and his own man. ❤️
