2024 Emmys: Eugene Levy and Dan Levy's Monologue Is Chaotic AF

As I gaze upon these stunning figures gracing the Emmy Awards red carpet, each one radiating their unique charm and elegance, it brings to mind the timeless adage: “Fashion is a form of self-expression.” Each star has chosen an outfit that reflects not only their personal style but also their journey in life.

This duo is simply irresistible.

On September 15, the 2024 Emmys were launched with an impressive impact by brothers Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, who delivered a remarkable monologue as joint hosts. (If you’re curious about what the stars are up to, take a look here).

As a die-hard Schitt’s Creek fan, let me tell you, I was over the moon when the hilarious cast doubled down on the laughter at the grand event held at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA. (To check out all the winners thus far, just follow this link).

Eugene expressed his joy to be with you again,” he said on stage. “You see, tonight is particularly meaningful for me. Over the years, I’ve played many fatherly roles, from American Pie and Finding Dory, to our show Schitt’s Creek. However, there’s no doubt that my most cherished role as a dad has been playing your father in Schitt’s Creek. That’s because it led me to win my first acting Emmy.

Regarding Dan, he playfully retorted to the crowd, “What’s all this applause for poor parenting? Moving on, it seems we’re embarking on a heartwarming journey.

2021 is a significant year for television, showcasing more queer representation than ever. Notably, Nava Mau secured her first nomination, while Holland Taylor received her ninth. Furthermore, Jonathan Bailey and Matt Bomer were both honored this evening for their roles as lovers in “Fellow Travelers,” demonstrating that acting skills are appreciated regardless of sexual orientation when portraying gay characters.

At that moment, his father added, “You should know, my boy, I’m really taking pride in our streaming service, Apple TV+, which consistently supports and showcases its commitment to the LGBTQ community.

Dan’s response? “That’s not what the plus stands for.”

Additionally, Dan playfully acknowledged “Baby Reindeer” – a nominee with 11 nods – by posting texts from his father such as, “Let’s host the Emmys. Colin Farrell will be there. Do you still have a crush? Sent from my iPhone.

Despite the idea of a father-son duo hosting the 2024 award ceremony appearing almost inevitable, Dan disclosed that the pair had previously declined the offer to host.

In a recent interview with the LA Times, the 41-year-old mentioned that they had been asked earlier but didn’t feel it was the appropriate moment for some reason. However, when asked again this year, they ran out of reasons to decline and found it intriguing as a significant challenge, not just a small one.

A challenge they were happy to accept, but hesitant to take on.

In simpler terms, Eugene said, “Both of us seemed a bit anxious since it’s not an easy task.” He continued, “When you put yourself out there, you start to question if it’s worth the effort. We could simply enjoy watching it on TV without any hassle this fall. But I think some force or motivation is pulling us towards it.

However, Dan, known for his previous Emmy wins alongside his father for their work on Schitt’s Creek, expressed that they were self-assured about establishing the show’s atmosphere.

He explained that the goal is to create an atmosphere that feels festive yet not overly challenging, maintaining a touch of complexity. People seem thrilled because we’re not traditional hard-edged comedians; instead, there will be a sense of warmth in our performance. The challenge lies in balancing these elements without making it monotonous in the end.
