“Talk to the hand, son. Because the ears are no longer working!”
The 76th Emmy® Awards is happening right now and I couldn’t be more excited to see some Schitt’s Creek humor with Eugene and Dan Levy as the first father-and-son hosts for the show.
In a press release, the Levys shared their thoughts about the gig and said, “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. 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.”
Others have showered their praises for the 76th Emmy Awards hosts such as the president of the Disney Television Group, Craig Erwich, who shared, “Eugene’s and Dan’s 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.”
Television Academy Chair, Chris Abrego, also gushed, “We are thrilled to welcome two generations of comedy genius to the Emmys stage as hosts. 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 Emmys fans to see what they have in store for all of us.”
Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay for Jesse Collins Entertainment added, “Eugene and Dan Levy created two of the most iconic TV characters in recent history and are a perfect fit to host television’s biggest night. We look forward to the audience having an unforgettable experience with this dynamic duo.”
“Jesse Collins Entertainment Executive Producers Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay have reassembled the production team from last year’s critically acclaimed 75th Emmy Awards telecast. Alex Rudzinski returns as director, Brittany Brazil returns as co-executive producer, as does producer Taryn Hurd, production designer Brian Stonestreet, and head writer Jon Macks.
