Fans Want Eugene and Dan Levy to Get ‘Lifetime Hosting Contract’ After Emmys Opening Monologue

The 2024 Emmy Awards had two new faces as hosts , with father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy taking the stage for the major event.

Eugene and Dan are both four-time Emmy winners, with the former winning as both an actor and creator of Schitt's Creek and a writer for SCTV Network . Dan won all four of his Emmys for Schitt's Creek , taking home awards for his work as a creator, actor, director and writer on the show.

The father and son duo took on the Hollywood awards show with style and energy, beginning the Emmys with jokes about all the nominated projects that had the audience earnestly laughing as they showed off their charming relationship.

One of the fan-favorite jokes was when they quipped about The Bear being in the comedy category, with the Levys saying, "I know some of you might be expecting us to make a joke about whether The Bear is really a comedy, but in the true spirit of The Bear , we will not be making any jokes."

As Dan and Eugene continued hosting the 2024 Emmys, fans online shared their honest opinions on how well the two were doing.

Quite a few people were major fans of their hosting, with strong responses on X like, "I already love Eugene and Dan Levy together," and "Having Dan and Eugene Levy host was the best idea ever."

"Yep. I’m sold. Give Dan & Eugene Levy a lifetime hosting contract!!! 😂🤣😂," a third chimed in.

Someone else agreed, saying, "i think eugene levy and dan levy should host every award show from now on."

Other positive reactions were, "It's quite literally impossible to not like Dan and Eugene Levy, like c'mon," and "Dan and Eugene Levy hosting the #EmmyAwards is genius. I miss this father son duo so much."

People called the two "cute" and "so precious," and described their banter as "cheesy dad joke energy," which they loved.

One even proclaimed, "Give Eugene and Dan Levy an Emmy for this monologue."

Overall, the response to the Levys as hosts was overwhelmingly positive, with the praise continuing as the show went on.

Ahead of their big night, Eugene and Dan spoke with the Los Angeles Times about the show, with Dan saying their vision was about "wanting it to feel celebratory, not wanting it to be too hard but still wanting a bit of an edge."

The Levys also revealed they were asked to host in the past but declined because "it didn't feel like the right time for whatever reason." When they decided to host in 2024, they saw it as "a fun little challenge—not little, quite huge actually."
