For the first time, the Emmys will be hosted by a father-son duo! Eugene Levy and Dan Levy have been tapped to host the 76th annual Emmy Awards.
“For two Canadians who won our Emmys in a literal quarantine tent, the idea of being asked to host this year in an actual theater was incentive enough,” Eugene and Dan said in a statement.

Craig Erwich, president of Disney Television Group, said that the Schitt Creek stars' "comedic intuition and uncanny ability to capture the hearts of viewers will make for a memorable Emmys telecast honoring this year’s best and brightest."
Meanwhile, Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego said they are "thrilled to welcome two generations of comedy genius to the Emmy’s stage as hosts,” adding, “Eugene and Dan Levy are known for creating unforgettable laugh-out-loud moments on screen, and together, they are super-charged. I cannot wait for Emmy fans to see what they have in store for all of us.”
