LOS ANGELES – Eugene and Dan Levy are bringing their father-son comedy stylings to the Emmy Awards.
The Canadian stars and co-creators of “Schitt’s Creek” will host the awards ceremony next month.
The Television Academy says the Levys will be the first father-son duo to host the show, which has been around for three-quarters of a century.
It’s also the first time since Howie Mandel in 2008 that a Canadian has hosted.
The Levys’ hosting stint comes four years after “Schitt’s Creek” swept the comedy categories at the Emmys, winning nine and setting a record for the most-ever wins for a comedy series in a single year. The Canadian-shot sitcom centred on the formerly-wealthy Rose family.
The Emmy Awards air Sept. 15 on CTV and ABC.
