Eugene and Dan Levy co-host the 2024 Emmys: Get to know their family
From "American Pie" and "Father of the Bride" to "Finding Dory" and "Schitt's Creek," actor and comedy legend Eugene Levy has played multiple iconic father figures over the years.
The Hollywood veteran is also a dad himself -- to son Dan Levy and daughter Sarah Levy.
Eugene and Dan Levy made history Sunday when they became the first father-son duo to co-host the Emmy Awards.
Ahead of the awards show, Dan Levy said he and his dad have the right "chemistry" for the high-profile job.
"I think we're fortunate enough to have a kind of chemistry that works on an award show," he told ABC News' Chris Connelly.
Eugene Levy said he consulted his wife Deborah Divine on the decision to take on the Emmys' hosting role.
"I told my wife that we were asked to host," Eugene Levy said in an interview that aired Sept. 9, on "Good Morning America." She said, 'Well, you're not doing it' and I said, 'Well, maybe, maybe not.'"
Ultimately, Eugene Levy said it felt irresistible not to say yes to co-hosting TV's biggest night.
"There was electricity that was kind of drawing us into it," he said.

Deborah Divine
Eugene Levy and his wife Deborah Divine, a production manager and screenwriter, married in 1977.
The couple are parents of two children -- son Daniel Levy and daughter Sarah Levy.
Although Eugene Levy is often in front of a camera, Divine tends to shy away from the spotlight, as her son revealed to late-night host Jimmy Kimmel in a 2021 interview.
Eugene Levy thanked his wife when he won the 2020 Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as dad Johnny Rose on "Schitt's Creek."
"I first want to thank my darling wife of 43 years, Deb Divine, for all the love, support and sage counsel over the years. Wouldn't be up here without you, Deb, I love you," Levy said at the time.
Eugene and Dan Levy teamed up to co-create the hit sitcom "Schitt's Creek," which also starred Levy's daughter Sarah Levy.
"As a dad, getting to work on camera for six years with both my kids – Daniel and Sarah – hi, honey – such a joy. Love you both and could not be prouder," Levy said in his Emmys speech.
Dan Levy
Eugene Levy and Deborah Divine welcomed their first child, son Daniel Levy on Aug. 9, 1983.
Dan Levy followed his father's footsteps into show business and made a name for himself first as the co-host of "MTV Live" and "The After Show" before diving into acting, writing and making films.
In 2015, Dan Levy began writing, producing and starring in "Schitt's Creek" with his dad and sister.
He played David Rose and went on to win the Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, also in 2020.
"I would not be here if it weren't for the six-year master class that was led by two brilliant, comedic minds that I had had the good fortune of working with for the past six seasons– my dad Eugene Levy and the magnificent Catherine O'Hara," Dan Levy said in part when he accepted the honor.
Dan Levy founded a production company called Not A Real Production Company in 2022.
"At the end of the day, my goal for this company is to continue to produce and create elevated projects across all mediums, genres, and formats that resonate with people in meaningful ways," Dan Levy wrote in an Instagram post announcing the company's launch.
Sarah Levy
Levy and Divine welcomed their second child, daughter Sarah Levy on Sept. 10, 1986.
Like her dad and brother, Sarah Levy became an actress and portrayed Twyla Sands in "Schitt's Creek." She went on to star in the horror drama "SurrealEstate" as real estate broker Susan Ireland.
Sarah Levy married Graham Outerbridge on Oct. 16, 2021.
The couple welcomed their son James Eugene Outerbridge -- who shares his middle name with his grandfather -- on July 5, 2022.
