Eugene and Daniel Levy, the creators of the acclaimed comedy series Schitt’s Creek, are reportedly in discussions to host the 76th Emmy Awards. The event is scheduled for September 15 at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
Although talks are ongoing, sources indicate that a final agreement has not yet been reached. The ceremony will be broadcast on ABC.
In 2020, the Levys made Emmy history as the first father-son duo to win in the same year. Now, they are poised to potentially become the first father-son team to host this prestigious event. The pair have previously co-presented at award ceremonies, including the 2020 SAG Awards, and have jointly guest-hosted The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Schitt’s Creek, which aired for six seasons on CBC, featured the Levys playing father and son. The final season in 2020 received 15 Emmy nominations, winning awards for outstanding comedy series, writing, directing, and supporting actor for Dan. Since Schitt’s Creek, Dan has written, directed, produced, and starred in Netflix’s Good Grief. He also appeared in Jerry Seinfeld’s Unfrosted and the final seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm and Sex Education.
Eugene is known for his roles in films such as A Mighty Wind, Waiting for Guffman, and American Pie. Currently, he hosts the Emmy-nominated travel series The Reluctant Traveler on Apple TV+, which has been nominated for Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series and Outstanding Writing For a Nonfiction Program. Additionally, he has joined the cast of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building for its fourth season.
