Eugene Levy is hands down one of the funniest people in history. The Canadian-born actor and funnyman got his start in the world of improv when he joined Chicago’s Second City. His first big break was on the Canadian sketch show SCTV, where he played a variety of roles. He later began collaborating with fellow improv mockumentarian Christopher Guest. Eugene joins Bullseye to talk about the very funny SCTV sketch that inspired Saturday Night Live’s Norm McDonald and his work on all eight of the American Pie movies. You read that right. Eight! Plus, he’ll talk to us about what it’s like working with his son Dan on their hit show Schitt’s Creek, now in its fifth season.
