Dan and Eugene Levy have come a long way from the middle of nowhere fictional town of Schitt’s Creek. The father-son duo’s hit show won nine primetime Emmys throughout its run, and on Sunday night, the pair hosted the 76th Emmy Awards.

00:00Please welcome your hosts, Dan and Eugene Levy.
00:05Without question, my most rewarding dad role ever has been being your dad.
00:16In Schitt's Creek.
00:19Because it got me my first acting Emmy.
00:23And let me say, what an honor it is to work with two guys who are this far away from being childless cat ladies.
00:32And the Emmy goes to Evan Moss-Background.
00:39Thank you to my parents, they're taking such nice care of my cat.
00:45And thanks to Mary and Sasha, my sweet daughters.
00:48Yelena, I love you so much.
00:50And the Emmy goes to Jeremy Alan White-The Bear.
00:59This is the second consecutive Emmy win and second consecutive nomination for Jeremy Alan White.
01:05This show has changed my life.
01:08It has instilled a faith that change is possible.
01:13That change is possible if you are able to reach out.
01:17You are really, truly, never actually alone.
01:20Liza Colon-Zayas-The Bear.
01:24Thank you, thank you for giving me a new life with this show.
01:28And to all the Latinas who are looking at me, keep believing and vote.
01:37Vote for your rights.
01:41And in one classic moment, my character was attacked by Vice President Dan Quayle
01:48when Murphy became pregnant and decided to raise the baby as a single mother.
02:00Oh, how far we've come.
02:04Today, a Republican candidate for Vice President would never attack a woman for having kids.
02:10So, as they say, my work here is done.
02:16Meow.
02:18And the Emmy goes to the amazing Jean Smart.
02:25Thank you, thank you so, so much.
02:29It's very humbling, it really is.
02:31And I appreciate this because I just don't get enough attention.
02:39I'm serious.
02:42The Daily Show.
02:46You've made an old man very happy.
02:51This is remarkable.
02:53This is remarkable.
02:54To have an opportunity to work with this incredibly talented group once a week has just been...
03:04It's just been, it's really made my Mondays.
03:07Lamorne Morris-Fargo.
03:11My beautiful daughter, Lily.
03:13I love you.
03:14I told you I would do it.
03:15You've always doubted me.
03:18I'm here, I'm your leader.
03:20Richard Dadd-Billion.
03:22Ten years ago, I was down and out, right?
03:24I never, ever thought I'd get my life together.
03:26I never, ever thought I'd be able to rectify myself with what had happened to me and get myself back on my feet again.
03:32And then here I am, just over a decade later, picking up one of the biggest writing awards in television, yeah?
03:40I don't mean that.
03:41I don't mean that to sound arrogant.
03:43I mean it as encouragement for anyone who's going through a difficult time right now to persevere, yeah?
03:48I don't know much about this life.
03:50I don't know why we're here, none of that.
03:51But I do know that nothing lasts forever.
03:53And no matter how bad it gets, it always gets better.
03:56Yeah, so if you're struggling, keep going.
03:58Keep going.
