The Big Brunch, HBO’s next culinary program, will be hosted by Schitt’s Creek actor Dany Levy. Levy, who also created the program, has a net worth of $14 million as a result of his successful acting career. In a recent interview with Humans magazine, the Emmy-winning actor said that although he was originally skeptical about his new cooking program, it eventually “restored my confidence in people.”
The Big Brunch will launch with three episodes on November 10th. The eight-episode unscripted series will feature ten chefs who will not only share their cuisine with the globe but also their experiences. Contestants in the brunch-themed program will create various meals, courses, and beverages in order to earn a grand prize of $300,000.

Meet the host of The Big Brunch ahead of the show’s debut.
Dan Levy, 39, is a Toronto-born actor, comedian, screenwriter, and television producer who attended North Toronto Collegiate Institute. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Levy’s thriving career in entertainment has contributed to his $14 million net worth. According to the website, Levy acquired a large property for $ 4.13 million in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles in 2019. At the beginning of his career, he was one of seven co-hosts of MTV Live in Canada. Dan and his father Eugene founded the filmmaking business Not a Real Company Productions in 2013. This is the firm that went on to develop Schitt’s Creek, a highly praised comedy.
The Big Brunch’s host is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community who came out as homosexual at the age of 18. He did, however, resist discussing his sexuality in public for many years. This changed in 2020 when Levy came out publicly during an interview with Andy Cohen.
In a recent interview, Dan Levy discussed his cooking program.
Dan Levy told PEOPLE about The Big Brunch that being a part of the “unscripted environment” was difficult for him since it was so different from his experience on Schitt’s Creek. He stated:
“‘Well, is this the correct decision?’ I wondered at one point. ‘Am I on the right track?’ Because this ridiculous business has a habit of making you doubt your intuition.”
He told the newspaper that the candidates and their personalities helped him shift his outlook and conquer his concerns. He said that they convinced him that “everything would be OK.”
He continued:
“It was really inspirational to see them assist, help, and encourage one other in ways that I believe took them off surprise as well.”
Levy was also involved in The Big Brunch’s selection process. He wished for the show’s actors to share their culinary history with viewers. The culinary program will have competitors working together rather than competing against one another, which is a significant change from the typical structure of such events.
