The dynamic father-son duo, Dan and Eugene Levy, known for their roles in the hit show Schitt’s Creek, have been announced as the co-hosts for the 2024 Emmys. In a recent ABC promo, the Levys showcased their comedic chemistry by joking about eyebrows. Eugene Levy quips, “We’re hosting the Emmys, and this year, they’re going highbrow.” However, Dan quickly corrects him by saying, “No, they said eyebrow.

My brows have their own agent.” This playful exchange gives a glimpse into the humor fans can expect from the father-son duo on the Emmy stage.
The Levys, who clinched their first Emmys during the pandemic-impacted show in 2020, expressed their excitement at the opportunity to host the Emmys in a traditional theater setting.
