The Great Canadian Baking Show host Dan Levy on oven drama, queer characters and working with his dad.
You’re already the star and showrunner of the hit comedy Schitt’s Creek. What made you decide to also get involved with a baking series?
I was binge-watching The Great British Baking Show and tweeted that if it ever came to Canada, I’d love to host it. I went to sleep and woke up to a million responses saying it is coming here and I should do it. Then I got the call from CBC asking, “Are you serious?”
Why do you think food reality shows are so popular?
People like the positivity. It’s a show about trying to improve yourself—the competition is between the baker and their oven. And it’s suspenseful! You might think, How much suspense can you have in a show about baking? But there is high anxiety in finding out if the bottom of your pie has baked all the way through.
