The 76th Emmy Awards are going to be a real family affair. Father-and-son Emmy winners Eugene and Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek) have committed to hosting this year’s Emmys, marking the first time a father-son team has ever taken on the Emmys hosting gig.
“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,” said Eugene and Dan. “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 on Sept. 15.”
The 2024 Emmys will be held at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live. ABC will air the awards show live on September 15th, beginning at 5pm PT and 8pm ET.
“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,” stated Craig Erwich, president, Disney Television Group.
Alex Rudzinski is confirmed to direct, Brian Stonestreet serves as the production designer, and Jon Macks is the head writer. Rickey Minor’s on board as the music director for the sixth time. Jesse Collins Entertainment’s Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay are executive producing.
“We are thrilled to welcome two generations of comedy genius to the Emmy’s stage as hosts,” stated Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego. “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.”
“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,” said Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay for Jesse Collins Entertainment. “We look forward to the audience having an unforgettable experience with this dynamic duo.”
