Well, how do you do a hoddle after that news yesterday?
For those who haven’t heard: Daniel Levy is no longer chairman at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
The official line from the club is that Levy “stepped down” from his position, although various outlets suggest the decision was not entirely his. The Athletic ($$) went so far as to lead their story with Levy “has been removed as Tottenham Hotspur chairman”. Alasdair Gold also reported that Levy was “forced out” (see links).
But none of that answers
the pivotal question: How do you hoddle after a seismic shift in Tottenham’s leadership like that?
Well, I think I’ve got an answer: With a Daniel Levy hoddle, of course.
Except we’re going to spend our time taking a look at the other Daniel Levy, you know, the one famous for Schitt’s Creek.
Levy (the actor/filmmaker) is putting together a new comedy series that will be housed under Netflix. The title: Big Mistakes (hmmmmm).
According to Netflix, the series is going to primarily follow two “deeply incapable siblings” who get blackmailed into the unseedy world of organised crime.
One co-star who you might recognise is Laurie Mecalf, who starred in shows/films like Roseanne, Lady Bird, Hacks and The Big Bang Theory). Starring opposite her will be Taylor Ortega, who’s been featured in the US version of Ghosts and the live-action remake of Kim Possible.
The series will be one of a handful of projects Levy has fronted since Schitt’s Creek ended in 2020. Among those were Unfrosted (in which he played Andy Warhol) and the comedy-drama Good Grief, which he wrote and directed,
