3. I'm sure Eugene Levy is having a tough time tonight.

First, losing John Candy in 1994, then Joe Flaherty last year...their mutual roles on SCTV were so intertwined...Eugene as "Bruno" to Candy's "Dr. Tongue," and his insufferable "Earl Camembaert" to Flaherty's newsman "Floyd Robertson," who...of course...doubled as Count Floyd...but yes, "Schitt's Creek" was a real anomaly, a phenomenally successful late-career re-teaming of two veteran stars who shared a LOT of screen time. The Guest movies were all wonderful (even the ones that were perhaps a bit too esoteric for mass-appeal audiences, like For Your Consideration and A Mighty Wind).

All of the cast members from SCTV earned a unique distinction that many actors would love, but few achieve...they felt like our friends, because their work touched on so many feelings, made us laugh, made us feel that it was OK to not be a Vanilla person in a Baskin-Robbins world.
