Eugene Levy and Dan Levy will make history at next month’s Emmy Awards as the first father and son to co-host.
“We are thrilled to welcome two generations of comedic geniuses to the Emmy stage as hosts,” Television Academy President Cris Abrego said in a statement Friday.
The Levys swept the 2020 Emmys (the year winners appeared remotely due to the pandemic) thanks to their hit series “Schitt’s Creek.” Eugene Levy won for outstanding comedy actor and Dan Levy for best supporting actor in a comedy. Dan Levy also took home the award for writing and directing, while both won the trophy for best comedy series as executive producers.
“For two Canadians who won our Emmys in a literal quarantine tent, the idea of being asked to host in an actual theater this year was incentive enough,” the Levys said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to be able to toast an extraordinary season of television.”
The Levys will be the first father-son presenters at the Emmys and the first duo to do so since 2018 with “Saturday Night Live” stars Colin Jost and Michael Che.
The 76th Emmy Awards will air live in Los Angeles on September 15 on ABC and the following day on Hulu.
Eugene Levy is not only a co-host this year, he was also nominated for his Apple TV+ series “The Reluctant Traveler” with Eugene Levy, the unlikely marriage of a funny and cautious host with some of the most beautiful places on Earth.
