Mark your calendars for September 16 and tune in live to the 76th Emmy Awards, streaming exclusively in the Philippines on Lionsgate Play.

Emmy® Award-winning multi-hyphenates Eugene Levy and Dan Levy — from the hit series Schitt’s Creek — are set to host the 76th Emmy® Awards and will be the first-ever father-son duo to do so. The 76th Emmy® Awards will air live coast to coast from the Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles on MONDAY, SEPT. 16 (8:00am onwards.

“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,” said Eugene and Dan. “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.”

“Eugene’s and Dan’s comedic intuition and uncanny ability to capture the hearts of viewers will make for a memorable Emmys telecast honoring this year’s best and brightest,” said Craig Erwich, president, Disney Television Group.

“We are thrilled to welcome two generations of comedy genius to the Emmys stage as hosts,” said Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego. “Eugene and Dan Levy are known for creating unforgettable laugh-out-loud moments on screen, and together, they are super-charged. I cannot wait for Emmys fans to see what they have in store for all of us.”

“Eugene and Dan Levy created two of the most iconic TV characters in recent history and are a perfect fit to host television’s biggest night,” said Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay for Jesse Collins Entertainment. “We look forward to the audience having an unforgettable experience with this dynamic duo.”

Jesse Collins Entertainment Executive Producers Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay have reassembled the production team from last year’s critically acclaimed 75th Emmy Awards telecast.
