2024 Emmys: Eugene Levy and Dan Levy's Monologue Is Just as Chaotic as You Would've Imagined

This duo is simply irresistible.
Eugene Levy and Dan Levy kicked off the 2024 Emmys on Sept. 15 with a bang thanks to their epic monologue as cohosts. (For every celeb in attendance, head on over here).
And as promised, the Schitt's Creek costars brought twice the laughs when they opened the ceremony held at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. (For a look at all the winners so far, click here).
“It's good to be back by your side,” Eugene told his son while onstage. “You know, this is a very special night for me. I've played a lot of dads in my day. I was a dad in American Pie I was the dad in Finding Dory, our show Schitt's Creek. But without question, my most rewarding dad role ever has been being your dad—in Schitt's Creek. Because it got me my first acting Emmy.”
As for Dan, he jokingly shot back to the audience, “Why are we applauding bad parenting? Anyway, we are off to a very heartwarming start.”
“It's a big year for queer representation on TV,” he continued, “Nava Mau with her first nomination, Holland Taylor with her ninth. And then there's Jonathan Bailey and Matt Bomer both recognized tonight for playing lovers in Fellow Travelers, proving that you can be nominated for playing gay even if you're not straight.”
And that’s when his dad chimed in, “And you know, son, I'm particularly proud of my streamer Apple TV+, which continues to proudly and visibly align itself with the LGBTQ community.”
Dan’s response? “That's not what the plus stands for.”
Not to mention, Dan gave a cheeky shoutout to Baby Reindeer—which scored an impressive 11 nods—by sharing texts from his dad such as, “let's host Emmys. Colin Farrell will be ther. U still have crush? Sent from my iphonn.”
Though having the father-son team host the 2024 award ceremony may seem like a no brainer, Dan revealed the pair had actually turned down the opportunity in the past.
“We were asked before and it didn’t feel like the right time for whatever reason,” the 41-year-old recently told the LA Times in a joint interview with his dad. “Then we were asked again this year, and I think ran out of reasons not to do it. It seemed like a fun little challenge—not little, quite huge actually.”
A challenge they were happy to accept, but hesitant to take on.
“We were both obviously kind of nervous, because it’s kind of a tough thing to do,” Eugene explained. “You’re letting yourself out there and whatever, whatever, is it worth it? We could coast into the fall quite easily without doing this and have a fun time watching it on TV. But I guess something was drawing us into it.”
But as Dan—who, along with his father, racked up quite a few Emmys in the past for their work on Schitt’s Creek—noted, they were confident in their ability to set the tone.
“It really comes down to wanting it to feel celebratory, not wanting it to be too hard but still wanting a bit of an edge,” he added. “People, from what I’ve been told, are kind of excited that we’re not hard-edged comics, that there will be a kind of warmth to the room. It’s trying to marry all of those things without being boring, ultimately.”
