During his time with MTV Canada, Dan Levy worked as a VJ and — somewhat shockingly — was a key part of one of the network's biggest hits. "Before I did [Schitt's Creek], I was working on MTV with The Hills for a long time, a show that some people might know," Levy revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in November 2020. He then clarified, in case anybody was confused about his level of participation, "I was doing the after-show." 

Although Levy admitted to loving The Hills (just like the rest of us), he confessed that working behind the scenes kind of ruined it for him, too. "When you work so closely with a reality television show ... it kind of takes the magic out of the experience of watching reality television, because you kind of end up knowing too much about how it works," Levy explained. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing lockdown later caused him to reevaluate his position. Levy shared, "I had quite literally watched every show on television, and so I finally just resolved myself to accepting the fact that I only have reality TV left — not to diminish the genre."

Nowadays, reality TV is all the Schitt's Creek star watches, with Levy name-checking The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Below Deck: Mediterranean as his current faves. Hey, if Andy Cohen ever feels like taking a break from hosting the after-shows, he knows who to call.
