Eugene and Dan Levy are bringing their father-son comedy stylings to the Emmy Awards.

The Canadian stars and co-creators of Schitt’s Creek will host the awards ceremony next month.

The Television Academy says the Levys will be the first father-son duo to host the show, which has been around for three-quarters of a century.

It’s also the first time since Howie Mandel in 2008 that a Canadian has hosted.

The Levys’ hosting stint comes four years after Schitt’s Creek swept the comedy categories at the Emmys, winning nine and setting a record for the most-ever wins for a comedy series in a single year. The Canadian-shot sitcom centred on the formerly-wealthy Rose family.

The Emmy Awards air Sept. 15 on CTV and ABC.
