“For me to be able to tell a queer love story on television freely ... is a rare and wonderful thing,” Levy said of his former Pop show on today's Ellen, adding of her coming out in 1997 on her ABC sitcom: “I would not be telling the stories that I’m telling had you not told the stories that you told.” When DeGeneres joked that she should be formally credited for Schitt’s Creek,” Levy replied, “You will be getting residuals.”
