The news was revealed on Good Morning America on Friday.

The pair, who made history four years ago as the first father-son duo to win Emmy Awards in the same year, will now take the stage together.

Eugene and his son are no strangers to sharing a mic, however.

The two previously made a splash with their opening monologue at the 2020 SAG Awards .

Fans on social media have been showing excitement over the duo’s upcoming gig.

“Hmmm……I might actually watch the Emmys this year,” one person tweeted.

A second said it was the “best choice in years.”

“Great selection! I bet the ratings will be excellent,” another wrote.

The 76th Emmy Awards will air live on ABC on September 15 at 8 pm EST.

Comedian Anthony Anderson , 54, last hosted the 75th Emmys in January.
