“Schitt’s Creek” will go down as one of the best TV comedies ever made, solidified by its sweep of the seven main comedy awards at last month’s Emmys, including the big one for Outstanding Comedy. With only a five-year run of six TV seasons, the Canadian TV show went from Pop TV obscurity in its early years to 15 Emmy nominations in 2020, the most nominations for a comedy in its final season.
But did you know former UK star Jamal Murray once lived in the Rosebud Motel, the property made famous by the show? Rosebud is a fictional motel owned by the Rose family in “Schitt’s Creek,” but in real life it is a dormitory in Orangeville, Ontario, Canada, where Jamal Murray lived for two years during high school.
