"It's the hair": When Schitt's Creek cast engaged in a heart-warming round of 'know-each-other' quiz

Schitt's Creek, the popular Canadian sitcom, spanned across six seasons and garnered several accolades and critical acclaim. Crafted by Emmy-winning actor and director Dan Levy, the show features the dysfunctional, once-affluent Rose family as they adjust in the small yet chaotic and community-oriented town of Schitt's Creek.

The star-studded cast of the sitcom includes Dan Levy as David Rose, Eugene Levy as Johnny Rose, Catherine O'Hara as Moira Rose, Annie Murphy as Alexis Rose, Sarah Levy as Twyla Sands, Chris Elliott as Roland Schitt, to name a few.

In 2020, on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, four cast members from the Emmy-winning sitcom appeared to promote their final season. In a segment called 'Know your Schitt's Creek', the guests were asked to answer some facts/habits of their fellow cast members. While the cast member in question had headphones put up to avoid overhearing their response.

In the first round, Catherine O'Hara, Annie Murphy, and Dan Levy were asked about Eugene's biggest pet peeve, to which Annie and Dan replied,

"It's the hair. Getting his hair wet."

And Voila! It matched with Eugene's answers. As he revealed his pet peeve,

"Oh! The Drip. The episode on the show when my hair's soaking wet and I have to.."

The series finale, titled Happy Ending (Season 6, Episode 14), aired on April 7, 2020, and registered a record-breaking viewership of 1.3 million viewers as per a report by Variety. With a rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, Schitt's Creek can be termed as one of the most successful new-age sitcoms. From David and Moira's mom-son banter to David's snarky yet caring sibling dynamic with Alexis, the show blends humor, family dynamics, and acceptance.

When Schitt's Creek's stars Catherine O'Hara, Dan Levy, and Annie Murphy spilled their secrets

In the same segment of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, when the cast members were asked about the hardest Catherine laugh while shooting. Eugene confidently replied,

"I would say it was a scene called Allez Vous, and that was a scene.....when"

Dan Levy recalled the events of the Schitt's Creek Season 1, Episode 8 Allez Vous, when the Roses explored unconventional ways to earn money. While David and Moira ventured into selling cosmetics, Johnny attempted to seek unemployment benefits. Dan told,

"She and I were selling cosmetics (pun intended) to the town, and it was a sad and desperate sales pitch. It was sad, and my face was orange. It was bad."

Annie and Eugene agreed that Catherine couldn't control her laughter when Dan put some orange bronzer on his face for the particular scene. Surprisingly, the cast guessed it right as Catherine also recalled her hilarious memories from the Allez Vous scene, she said.

"Because the character was so nervous, trying to sell his product, and he had also tested out the tanning cream, and it was like yellow-orange. He looked like a goldfish caught in headlights."

Jimmy Fallon, the host of the talk show, then asked the cast members a question regarding Dan. Fallon asked the cast about what job Dan did to earn his first pay cheque.

Annie guessed Dan worked at something called 'Baby Gap' to earn his first cheque, while Eugene corrected it to 'Gap Kids'. Dan narrated a hilarious scenario as he said,

"My parents dropped me off at Gap Kids and said very clearly, 'Do not come home without a job application'. And I don't wanna say that that's like motivated me to be a compulsive overworker, but it definitely hasn't not done that."

During Annie's turn, the cast was asked about the biggest fight that she had on the Schitt's Creek set, to which Eugene replied that she never got into a fight with anyone on set. Even Dan and Catherine couldn't recall a moment when Annie got into a fight on the set. Catherine told,

"She's a lovely Canadian girl."

However, when Annie was asked, she replied,

"It was with Dan. It was about pizza. We got into a heated argument about which fast food pizza is the best and Dan got so upset that you [Dan] ordered five different pizzas from five different places and made us have a taste test at lunch."

Dan hilariously replied to the sweet little accusation and said,

"That is accurate."

If you want to slide back to memory lane, you can watch all the episodes of Schitt's Creek streaming on Netflix, Fubo TV, and Hulu.
