Disney has announced that Eugene Levy and Dan Levy will host the upcoming 76th Emmy Awards. The event will take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, September 15th, 2024, from 8-11 p.m. ET/5-8 p.m. PT. It will air live on ABC and stream the next day on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+.

This will be the first time a father-son duo have ever hosted the award ceremony, and they said in a statement:

“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.  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 September 15.”

Craig Erwich, president, Disney Television Group, added:

“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.  We are thrilled to welcome two generations of comedy genius to the Emmy’s 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 Emmy fans to see what they have in store for all of us.”

Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay from Jesse Collins Entertainment, who is producing the project, also added:

“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.  We look forward to the audience having an unforgettable experience with this dynamic duo.”

As previously announced, Jesse Collins Entertainment executive producers Collins, Harmon, and Rouzan-Clay have reassembled the production team from last year’s critically acclaimed 75th Emmy Awards telecast. Alex Rudzinski returns as director; Brittany Brazil returns as co-executive producer alongside producer Taryn Hurd, production designer Brian Stonestreet, and head writer Jon Macks. Emmy Award winner Rickey Minor will serve as music director for the sixth time. Lighting designer Noah Mitz and screens producer Drew Findley are returning from last year as well. Eric Cook is joining the team as co-executive producer.

Disney is also nominated for 183 awards at the event for its shows across Hulu, Disney+ and linear channels.  Disney also set a new record with the three most-nominated series of the year: “Shōgun”, “The Bear”, and “Only Murders in the Building”.
