# Schitt’s Creek producer talks Emmys and Seneca

The producer and production manager of the Canadian hit comedy series [*Schitt’s Creek*](https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/l7qfCKrk9Mt9BBY6uvAs67?domain=r20.rs6.net) had just won the biggest award of his life for Outstanding Comedy Series and pretty much everyone he knew wanted to touch base with him.

“I had more than 700 views, texts and emails in just a couple of days,” Mr. Orfanidis recalled. “I have never been this popular. I couldn’t keep up.”
