Eugene and Dan Levy will host the 76th Annual Emmys, and ABC has released the first promotional promo for the event. The first father-son Emmy hosting team really should have started with a dad joke; there are no two ways about it.
Eugene Levy's attempt at humour in promo met with resistance from Dan Levy
Dan cautions his dad against going for a low-hanging eyebrow gag in the commercial. To no avail, though, for Eugene. The Bachelorette season finale was part of ABC's primetime schedule on Tuesday night, when the commercial debuted. This video appears just as the Television Academy is gearing up for the Emmy Awards, which take place every September at the Peacock Theatre in downtown Los Angeles for the Creative Arts Emmys.
Television Academy announces first late of presenters for Creative Arts Emmys
The Television Academy announced the first slate of presenters earlier Tuesday for the opening night of the Creative Arts Emmys this weekend. Hannah Waddingham, breakdance Olympian Victor Montalvo, Lucy Liu, Phil Keoghan, Mark Cuban, Nikki Glaser, Derek Hough, and LeVar Burton are among the names.
Along with the rest, there are Garcelle Beauvais, Jonathan Bennett, Mike Birbiglia, Dani Bowman, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Barbara Corcoran, Matt Friend, Lori Greiner, Robert Herjavec, Derek Hough, David Isaacman, Daymond John, Kristen Kish, Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney, Tig Notaro, Abbey Romeo, Masi Oka, Kevin O'Leary, Melissa Peterman, and Fisher Stevens.
The Emmys, which will be held on September 15 live on ABC (streaming live on Lionsgate Play (OTTplay Premium), are happening, and last month it was confirmed that Eugene Levy and Dan Levy will be hosting.
Levy Duo expresses excitement for hosting the Emmys
This year's hosting gig in a real theatre was enough to entice the Levys, two Canadians who won their Emmys in a quarantine tent, to release a joint statement in conjunction with last month's announcement. It is with great pleasure that they look forward to celebrating this remarkable television season with everyone on September 15. They are overjoyed to be able to do so.
Anthony Anderson praised Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay of Jesse Collins Entertainment in January for producing the previous Emmy show. Eugene and Dan Levy will work closely together.
For the Emmys, father-and-son combo Eugene and Dan Levy are making history. They are the first father-and-son hosting partnership, the first tandem to host since Colin Jost and Michael Che in 2018, and the only duo to host this century.
This weekend, Eugene Levy's Apple TV+ series The Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy is up for an award for Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special, which is a great start to his hosting position.
