I Hope You're Sitting Down, Because The Emmys Hosts Have Officially Been Chosen, And It's Literally So Adorable I'm Gonna Cry

This is about to be the gravid year for the Emmys in a LOOOOONG sentence .

So big news in the TV world! ABC has officially chosen the hosts for this year’s PrimetimeEmmy Awardson September 15th…

…and the choice is brilliant. Amazing. Incredible. Showstopping. Perfect. Completely not ever been done before. All the things.

I know you know already, so let me just say it. ABC has chosena unique set of hoststo trump them all: Eugene andDan Levy.

This is a huge choice for many reasons, which we’ll go through, but let me start by explaining that normally, the Emmys aren’t hosted by these kinds of fan-fave surprise guests. So it’s awesome they’reswitching it upthis year.

Now, back to the Levys. If you’re living under a rock and don’t remember who these two icons are, let me remind you. Most recently, they’re the stars ofSchitt’s Creek, which ran from 2015 to 2020. Oh, and they’re also father and son.

In addition to acting, Eugene and Dan were executive producers, directors, and writers onSchitt’s Creek. They can do it all. Quadruple threats.

If it isn’t cute enough already that they were onSchitt’s Creektogether, here’s another reason why this is such wonderful news: they’remaking historyas the first-ever father-son duo to host the Emmys!

Thetwo of themare honestlyEmmys legendsat this point. Collectively, they’ve won 7 Emmys — and evenset a recordin 2020 for the most wins for a single season of a comedy series.

Specifically, that year, Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series went to Eugene, and Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series went to Dan. This means they made history AGAIN as the first father-son duo to win Emmys in the same year. Double whammy!

And in case you’re wondering if they have hosting experience, yes, THEY DO INDEED. For one, Dan LevyhostedThe Hills AftershowonMTVwith Jessi Cruickshank in the 2000s. So there.

As for Eugene, he actuallyhostedthe first-everGemini Awards, which was a Canadian TVawards showthat ran from 1986 to 2011.

Besides, honestly? It’s evident these two will absolutely kill it, regardless of their past hosting credits. Because if you’ve ever watched them on TV or in interviews, you know they’re hilarious, and genuinely just adelight to watch.

“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,” they said in apress releaseon Friday.

“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,” they continued.

So wholesome! So exciting! And I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to say this, but so Canadian! Seriously, I’m positive literally every Canadian is jumping for joy right now, because we’re all just so happy for them. I’ll be watching like a proud mom as they take the stage.
