Why the clues pointed to Roland Schitt

The Show clue was Schitt's Creek, which premiered on CBC and ran from 2015 to 2020. 7 characters in the game come from that show, so a green Show cell cut the field to them in one guess.

The Debut clue was 2015, the year of Roland Schitt's first episode, "Our Cup Runneth Over" (Season 1, Episode 1). Any guess who debuted within three years turned the cell amber, a window that holds 32 characters, and the arrow pointed toward 2015 from either side.

The Network clue was CBC, shared by 7 characters, and the Role clue was Main: credited as main cast for at least one season, true of 209 characters. Put together with the Gender clue (Male), the five colors left very few names, and he was the one that fit every cell.

Roland Schitt is the fourth member of his family to serve as mayor of Schitt's Creek, and he greets the newly broke Rose family by making himself at home in their motel rooms. Played by Chris Elliott, he is crude, nosy, and often maddening, but by the end of the series he is one of the Roses' most loyal friends.
