Dan Levy also picked up wins for writing and directing, while both won the outstanding comedy series trophy as executive producers.
鈥淔or 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,鈥� the Levys said in a statement. 鈥淲e鈥檙e thrilled to be able to raise a glass to this extraordinary season of television.鈥�
The Levys will be the first-ever father-son hosts at the Emmys and the first duo to do it since 2018 with 鈥淪aturday Night Live鈥� stars Colin Jost and Michael Che.
The 76th Emmys air live in Los Angeles on Sept. 15 on ABC, and streams the next day on Hulu.
Eugene Levy isn't just a co-host this year 鈥� he also nominated for his Apple TV+ series the unlikely wedding of a droll and cautious host with some of the most beautiful places on Earth.
