The announcement of Dan Levy and his father Eugene Levy co-hosting the 2024 Emmys has created quite a buzz. In a recent ABC promo, the duo was seen joking about eyebrows, with Eugene Levy quipping, “We’re hosting the Emmys, and this year, they’re going highbrow.” However, Dan Levy quickly corrected his father, stating, “No, they said eyebrow. They want you to make bad jokes about your eyebrows, which you’re not doing.”
The father-son duo, known for their roles in “Schitt’s Creek,” expressed their excitement about hosting the prestigious awards show. After winning their first Emmys during the pandemic-impacted show in 2020, they acknowledged the irony of now being asked to host the event in an actual theater. “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,” they said in a statement last month.
Both Dan Levy and Eugene Levy have made their mark in the television industry, with their outstanding performances in “Schitt’s Creek.” In 2020, they both received Emmy nominations, with Eugene being recognized for Lead Actor and Dan for Supporting Actor. The show itself also took home the award for Outstanding Comedy Series. Dan Levy’s impressive writing and directing skills also earned him additional Emmy wins, bringing his total haul to a record-tying four.
As the 2024 Emmys approach, fans are eagerly anticipating the dynamic hosting duo of Dan Levy and Eugene Levy. With their wit, charm, and comedic timing, the Levys are sure to bring a fresh and entertaining energy to the event. Whether they stick to making eyebrow jokes or surprise the audience with new material, one thing is certain – this year’s Emmys will be a night to remember.
The Levys’ journey from winning Emmys in a quarantine tent to hosting the awards show is a testament to their talent and hard work. Their humor and humility have endeared them to audiences worldwide, and their upcoming stint as co-hosts of the 2024 Emmys is sure to be a highlight of their illustrious careers.
