(The Television Academy and ABC Entertainment via AP)LOS ANGELES โ โSchitt's Creek,โ the little Canadian show about a fish-out-of-water family, made history at Sunday's Emmy Awards with a comedy awards sweep, something even TV greats including โFrasierโ and โModern Familyโ failed to achieve.
The awards for Pop TV's โSchitt's Creekโ included best comedy series and trophies for its stars, including Catherine O'Hara and father-son Eugene and Daniel Levy.
Moments later, his son won the award for comedy writing for โSchitt's Creekโ episode, then shared a directing award and captured the supporting actor comedy trophy.
As โSchittโs Creekโ gobbled up comedy awards, that left acclaimed โInsecureโ and its creator Issa Rae empty-handed.
But Black stories, Black performances and Black Lives Matter,โ he said, urging Kimmel to shout with him.
