With Thursday’s debut of “House Hunters: Comedians on Couches,” HGTV is officially in the business of making fun of itself. In the quarantine-TV show, hosts Dan Levy (not the “Schitt’s Creek” one, the other one), Natasha Leggero, and a revolving door of their stand-up comedian friends watch-party a classic episode of “House Hunters” and then take turns taking the home buyers down a peg or two.
“We have been making fun of these shows for so long,” Levy, who has performed stage shows mocking random Zillow listings, told TheWrap.
So why not do it on HGTV?
Perhaps the better question, or at least one that we asked Levy, is why specifically throw your jabs at “House Hunters”?
“They’ve made over 1,000 episodes, so there’s so much there to do,” he responded.
