    Dan Levy on overcoming rejection and harnessing grief

    We bonded over eyebrows, amongst other things. You’ll know Dan Levy as David Rose in the widely adored TV show Schitt’s Creek, which he co-wrote and created with his father Eugene Levy. If ever there was a story of failure leading to success, it’s this, as Dan tells me how his multi-award winning and critically acclaimed show was (initially) turned down by every single network in the USA. We also chat about relationship failures and a particular childhood incident involving birthday cake. Plus, we explore his fantastic new film ‘Good Grief’ - a beautiful gay love story for the modern age - and his personal influences behind it. Good Grief and Schitt’s Creek are available to stream on Netflix. And I’d LOVE to hear about your failures, no matter how profound, minor or funny they might be. Every week, my fantastic guest and I choose a selection to read out and answer on our special subscription offering Failing with Friends. We’ll endeavour to give you advice, wisdom and much, much more. Have something to share of your own? I'd love to hear from you!

    Dan Levy And Sohla El-Waylly From “The Big Brunch” On HBO Max

    Dan Levy, the star of Schitt’s Creek, loves chefs and wanted to do something to support the culinary community during the pandemic. His idea was a kinder, gentler cooking competition centered around the meal that he loves, but that most restaurant folks loathe—brunch. The result debuts Thursday, Nov. 10th, on HBO Max and it’s called The Big Brunch. The show features 10 chef-contestants, all trying to do good in the world while making delicious food, and three judges, Dan, chef and video personality Sohla El-Waylly, and hospitality pro Will Guidara.  Dan joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about how The Big Brunch came to be, casting the judges and chefs, and why brunch is his favorite meal. In the second half, Sohla stops by to talk about her role on the show, her journey to becoming a chef, and her time owning and running a restaurant. She also discusses the new book she guest-edited, the 2022 edition of The Best American Food Writing series.  Thank you to Hedley & Bennett for supporting today’s episode.
