I miss this father son duo so much.
' The pair also made history as the first father-son duo to emcee the program. In 2020, the actors took home their own respective Emmy Awards for their work on their hit series, Schitt's Creek, which they created and starred in for six seasons . '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, while confirming their hosting gig.
The pair continued: 'We’re thrilled to be able to raise a glass to this extraordinary season of television and can’t wait to spend the evening with you all.' Ahead of the ceremony, Eugene and Dan revealed they were taking a 'gentler' approach to the gig. 'It’s always hit me in a funny way when jokes are done at the expense of people who are nominated — they’ve put in the work, and it’s their night, really, and you have to have enough respect for the awards show itself.
Otherwise, why are we here?' Eugene told The Los Angeles Times . The pair also made history as the first father-son duo to emcee the program. Social media quickly lit up with praise, with one fan even tweeting, 'I think Eugene Levy and Dan Levy should host every award show from now on' 'People, from what I’ve been told, are kind of excited that we’re not hard-edged comics, that there will be a kind of warmth to the room,' Dan continued.
't’s trying to marry all of those things without being boring, ultimately. But we’re getting there.' Eugene acknowledged that while he and Dan aren't comedians, their dynamic works well together, a bond formed on Schitt's Creek that continues to resonate, making them a good fit for hosting roles.
Dan also mentioned in the profile that this wasn’t the first occasion he and his father had been approached to host the ceremony. 'We were asked before and it didn’t feel like the right time for whatever reason,' he said to the outlet. 'Then we were asked again this year, and I think ran out of reasons not to do it.
It seemed like a fun little challenge — not little, quite huge actually.' The cast of Schitt's Creek included Eugene, Dan, Catherine O'Hara, and Annie Murphy, who delivered memorable performances throughout the series. The show ran for six seasons from 2015 to 2020, earning critical acclaim and sweeping all major comedy categories at the 2020 Emmys.
