'Schitt's Creek' Cast and Comics Surprise Eugene Levy During His Lifetime Achievement Award

Eugene Levy accepted the Newport Beach Film Festival's Lifetime Achievement Award and though he couldn't give his acceptance speech in person due to Covid-19, that didn't stop a few of his close friends from surprising him with a tribute video. Along with his "Schitt's Creek" co-stars and children, his friends Steve Martin, Martin Short, Jennifer Coolidge also shared in the celebration.

I burst out laughing when Steve Martin said “first let me say what an honour it is for me to not be there tonight”
LMAO

[michelebishop]

I grew up with him. Everyone loves him.

Omg when Martin Short shouts at the camera so Eugene can hear him 😂😂

[aparajita]

"you are special because you are a person" words to live by

[gregmattley]

he really tears up when it's his children. really nice to see.

Eugene Levy, Martin Short, and Steve Martin are masters of comedy. I want to see more of them. This was so good!

[ArtemisScribe]

Annie Murphy is right, it's wonderful to watch Eugene watch his children speak. Also I love how so many of his friends did the happy birthday gag.

Noah's impression of Eugene Levy was actually pretty good. Jason Biggs speaking as if it was a post-life tribute was hilarious! What an excellent amalgamation of video tributes from the family and friends of a great and talented comedic legend. Congratulations and thank you to Eugene Levy!

first thing i saw was a pic of Eugene with John Candy.
John Candy was amazing and so missed!

My god. Schitt's creek is such a family friendly comedy. A whole family can sit down and watch it and see themselves in it somewhere Not vulgar or over the top. Always knew after American pie he had something special. I'm sure others knew this long before me. God bless you Eugene.

[mattainsworth]

The picture of him and Candy in the background though 😢

[PeachesSummer]

Just seeing him laugh while listening to everyones tribute to him. Loved him in Bringing Down the House and American Pie. Well deserved award to him... dead or alive. Lol

[gabrielarodrigues]

Eugene Levy is most deserving of the Lifetime Achievement Award. What a person.

[aileenmn]

omg love Jason Bigg's "I'm going to miss him" in memoriam bit at 7:59 😂

[LaurenPoland]

Are we just going to ignore JENNIFER FREAKING COOLIDGE?!

[mikemac]

I know John's death left a giant hole in the cast of SCTV but I'm glad to see them still keeping in touch with each other. Good people.

[J-B-P]

Omg I just realized that that crazy lady with the sparkler is Jennifer Coolidge and I am HERE FOR IT 😂

[Guylene]

I fell in love with all Shitts Creek characters! We want/need you back! Eugene Levy is great in his new show on Apple TV. Very funny!

Lovely tribute for a truly talented, lovely Canadian. (And he was wearing his Order Of Canada Pin) :)

[TH-tlsy]

Always get a little misty eyed whenever I see SCTV Alumni on the same screen together.
