Who is Roland Schitt in Schitt's Creek?

The mayor — it's his name on the sign · The Town

Roland Schitt (The mayor — it's his name on the sign) is a character in Schitt's Creek, part of The Town. Roland Schitt — mayor, descendant of the town's founder Horace Schitt, owner of the trucker cap welded to his head — greets the Roses' tragedy as the best entertainment to hit town in years. He is boundary-blind, favour-economy fluent, and impossible to insult effectively, which drives Johnny to the edge of language. The show's long con: Roland's friendship, like the town's, turns out to be the genuine article — tested, notably, the night the Roses need a babysitter and the Schitts simply show up.
