The hosts, father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy, opened the show Sunday night. They won Emmys at the 2020 awards for “Schitt’s Creek.”

  • The father-son hosting duo of Eugene and Dan Levy have opened the Emmys by poking fun of the show’s strange and changing role

  • Dan Levy said on the ABC telecast from the stage at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles that the show is known for “broadcast TV’s biggest night for honoring movie stars on streaming services”

She was referring to her Murphy Brown character being attacked by then-Vice President Dan Quayle for being a single mom.

Her subsequent “meow” got a big laugh and applause from the audience, including Jon Stewart.
