Dan and Eugene Levy are set to make history once again as they take the stage to host the 76th Emmy Awards. Known for their work on the beloved series Schitt’s Creek, this father-son duo is the first in Emmy history to co-host the prestigious event, marking a significant moment in television history.
Their sitcom, Schitt’s Creek, which they co-created and starred in, won critical acclaim and a slew of awards, sweeping the 2020 Emmys with nine wins, including Outstanding Comedy Series and acting awards for both Levys. The show’s portrayal of a wealthy family who loses everything and moves into a small town they once purchased as a joke resonated with audiences worldwide, making it a cultural touchstone.
In a statement, the Levys expressed their excitement about hosting, especially after their previous Emmy wins were celebrated in a quarantine tent due to the pandemic. This year, they are thrilled to return to an actual theater to honor the achievements in television from the past year.
This announcement confirms rumors that had been circulating earlier, and fans of Schitt’s Creek and the Levys are eagerly anticipating what is sure to be a memorable Emmy night. As the entertainment world gears up for this event, the Levys are set to raise the bar once again, blending humor, grace, and a deep love for television.
