Who is hosting the Emmys?

It was announced in August that “Schitt’s Creek” stars Eugene and Dan Levy would take the stage together to host the 76th Emmys.

“For two Canadians who won our Emmys in a literal quarantine tent, the idea of being asked to host this year in an actual theater was incentive enough,” the Levys said in a statement at the time. “We’re thrilled to be able to raise a glass to this extraordinary season of television and can’t wait to spend the evening with you all on Sept 15.”

Eugene, 77, and Dan, 41, are no strangers to making Emmys history. In 2020, they became the first father and son to win awards in the same year. Eugene took home the statue for Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, while Dan won for Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, both for their respective roles in “Schitt’s Creek.”

Both men also won the Outstanding Comedy category as executive producers. Dan went on to pick up Emmys for writing and directing for his work on the series.

Who are this year’s nominees?

This year, Netflix received a whopping 107 nominations, including “The Crown” (18), “Ripley” (13), “Baby Reindeer” (11), “3 Body Problem” (6) and the David Beckham docuseries “Beckham” (5).

FX landed 93 nominations, cutting it close to HBO/Max’s 91 nods.

While FX was led by “Shōgun” and “The Bear,” HBO/Max’s noms came from “True Detective: Night Country” (19) and “Hacks (17).”

Meanwhile, Apple TV+ had 72 nominations, a record for the streaming platform. “The Morning Show” led with 16, while “Palm Royale” followed behind with 11. The limited series “Lessons in Chemistry” had 10, while “Slow Horses” received 9.

Who is presenting?

A-listers who will be appear include Kristen Wiig, Viola Davis, Lily Gladstone and “Only Murders in the Building” stars Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short.

Also on the list of presenters are Dick Van Dyke, Colin Farrell, Matt Bomer, Joshua Jackson, Mindy Kaling, Don Johnson, Jimmy Kimmel, Greta Lee, John Leguizamo, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, George Lopez, Martin Sheen and Jean Smart.

Eugene and Dan Levy delivered a charmingly lighthearted monologue to open the 76th Emmy Awards — “Also known as, broadcast TV’s biggest night for honoring movie stars on streaming services,” Dan quipped.

The father-son duo kept things short and sweet, lightly roasting this year’s nominated programs, the television industry, the television-watching audience, and, of course, themselves. At one point, Eugene spoke about all the fathers he’d played over the course of his career, but told his son, “My most rewarding dad role ever has been being your dad… in Schitt’s Creek. Because it got me my first acting Emmy.”

Elsewhere, Eugene celebrated all the positive ways great TV reflects our lives — whether we’ve struggled to make friends in a new city like Carrie Coon in The Gilded Age, or had a teacher that’s changed our lives like Quinta Brunson in Abbot Elementary. Dan echoed the sentiment, joking about all of us who’ve had a “co-dependent, borderline homoerotic relationship with our boss, like Hannah Einbinder in Hacks.”

The pair later celebrated Shogun for already making Emmy history with its 14 Creative Arts Emmy victories, which already makes it the most decorated show in a single season. Dan praised the hit program’s attention to detail, noting the way scripts were written in English, translated to Japanese, re-written, and then translated back into English subtitles “that you missed because you were also on your phone watching Sabrina Carpenter eat a hot wing.”

And Eugene peeled off a superb quip about The Bear, noting it was nominated for 23 Emmys, making it the most-nominated comedy in Emmys history. “Now, I love the show, and I know some of you might be expecting us to make a joke about whether The Bear is really a comedy,” Eugene said. “But in the true spirit of The Bear, we will not be making any jokes.”

The Levys closed out their monologue with a not unfamiliar awards show request: To keep things moving along during acceptance speeches, please, for the sake of time. But their plea was borne out of a very particular anxiety: “In what can only be described as a cruel joke, two Canadians have been put in charge of playing you off tonight,” Dan deadpanned.

“Canadians don’t like interrupting anybody,” Eugene added. “It goes against our nature.”

While the Emmys have often featured multiple hosts over the years, this is the first time in the show’s history that a father and son have helmed TV’s big night together. The event also gives the pair a chance to take the Emmys stage together, in person, after Schitt’s Creek swept the comedy categories in 2020, but everyone had to accept their awards virtually because of Covid-19.

In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, the Levys spoke about the gig, with Dan revealing they’d been asked before, but saying “it didn’t feel like the right time for whatever reason.” When they were asked to host this time, Dan quipped, “I think I ran out of reasons not to do it. It seemed like a fun little challenge — not little, quite huge actually.”

Eugene added: “We were both obviously kind of nervous, because it’s kind of a tough thing to do — you’re letting yourself out there and whatever, whatever, is it worth it? We could coast into the fall quite easily without doing this and have a fun time watching it on TV. But I guess something was drawing us into it — like, we could do it, it could be fun. We opened the SAG Awards a few years ago, and we had a ball doing it, and also it turned out really well; it seemed to work, and we got a taste of what that’s like. So we jumped in and said yes. And what can happen, really?”

Between them the Levys have eight Emmy awards, with four each. Eugene won his first two in the Eighties, both for Outstanding Writing in a Variety or Music Program for SCTV, while he picked up his other two in 2020: Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy for Schitt’s Creek. Dan also received the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series that year, along with Supporting Actor in a Comedy, Directing for a Comedy, and Writing for a Comedy. He was most recently nominated in 2021 for hosting Saturday Night Live.

IT is just a regular working day in the priesthood for Fr Martin O’Hagan, his brother, Fr Eugene, and their long-time friend and musical collaborator, Fr David Delargy – better known collectively as The Priests.

Individually, they have dealt with everything from parishioner emergencies to future strategy planning on the morning I ring to chat about what is, in many ways, their biggest event yet – their retirement.

The popular priestly trio are set to quit the big stage – but will, on occasions, grace some smaller ones - with a series of farewell concerts beginning this month and finishing with a last hurrah at the Ulster Hall, Belfast, in January next year.

It is fair to say the Time To Say Goodbye concert tour has taken fans and parishioners somewhat by surprise, but after 50 years singing together and travelling the globe, 2024 is a good a year to bow out, reflects Fr Eugene – chancellor and vicar general of the Diocese of Down and Connor - who admits he will miss “the buzz” of big audience events.

“When we signed our recording contract with Sony in 2008, we had a line put in it that said our music career would never encroach on our diocesan work,” he explains, “but as times change and we get a little older, this is becoming more difficult to coordinate. Our 50th anniversary seems the right time to step back from performing live as a group.”

As Fr David, parish priest of the Loughshore Parishes of Greencastle, Whitehouse and St James (incorporating Whiteabbey and Greenisland) puts it: “Our circumstances have changed a lot since we started out – when I began, I had a small parish and there were two of us: myself and a retired priest. Now I am 17 years older and my energy levels are not quite the same.

“At the same time, my responsibilities have increased... I now have three parishes – four churches – to look after and there is only myself to do it. So, if I do have to be away at a concert somewhere, it’s not just as straightforward finding a replacement.”

Despite this, it hasn’t been an easy decision to say ‘goodbye’ to The Priests, with Fr Martin, parish priest of Newtownards and Comber, acknowledging it will be “a wrench”, particularly since all three voices remain “in good trim”.

“It will be quite a wrench, really,” he says, “but it will be nice to go out with a sense of celebration and great thanks to God and to all those who have contributed to our journey over the years.”

That very “unexpected journey” began quietly back in 1974 when all three were musically-minded schoolboys (nicknamed ‘Holy,’ ‘Holy’, ‘Holy’ by their peers) at St MacNissi’s College in Carnlough (now St Killian’s College, aka Garron Tower) enthusiastically took part in the annual Christmas shows – the first one The Pirates of Penzance when 11-year-old David played Kate – “I had a high soprano voice” – Martin played Edith and Eugene was Major General Stanley.

Our circumstances have changed a lot since we started out... I now have three parishes – four churches – to look after and there is only myself to do it. So, if I do have to be away at a concert somewhere, it’s not just as straightforward finding a replacement

— Fr David Delargy

All three studied at Queen’s in Belfast and had vocation training at the seminary, also in Belfast - during which they studied music under singing teacher Frank Capper. Then, some years into their priestly ministries, in 2008 everything changed.

“We had been singing together at local venues at that stage, but it is a funny story how we ended up being signed to Sony,” Fr Eugene recounts. “As priests, we were invited to audition for a part chanting Latin Mass, linking songs on a proposed album of religious music, when people at the Epic label – part of the Sony family - became interested in our back story and decided to set aside the original project and sign us up for an album instead. What happened afterwards came as a complete surprise, completely out of the blue...”

After signing their record deal on the steps of London’s Westminster Abbey, the three became Guinness World Record holders after The Priests, became the fastest selling debut for a classical act in the UK, also earning them gold and platinum discs for sales throughout Europe and Australia and topping the classical Billboard chart in the USA.

They were heady days and, in the years since, three more albums followed, as well as a documentary, a book (Soul Song) various overseas tours, royal receptions and performances for high-profile audience members including Pope Francis in 2013 in Rome.

But, as working priests, they didn’t let it all go to their heads. “If it did,” observes Father David wryly, “it didn’t stick there for very long. The thing is, when you move into that world, people praise you, they tell you that you are wonderful, they lay it on thick... you find yourself being transported from the airport in a limousine – but I remember Eugene once saying: ‘Boys, we are having all these wonderful experiences, but be very careful that you don’t jump out of the bowl you were baked in.’”

Certainly, a sobering visit to a project helping impoverished families in Thailand - being supported by their charitable foundation - was a stark reminder about how the world is unfairly divided into the haves and have-nots. During a visit to one family, Fr David was presented with a dish of pan-fried mosquitos - the very best the family could offer. He gamely took a forkful, but they stuck in his throat.

Behind the glamour and smiles back home, there was a time when all three felt something sticking in their throats. “When our success took off, it was great,” recalls Fr David. “It opened up another side of the clergy to people, but it was all happening at a very, very difficult time for the Catholic Church in Ireland.

“There were all sorts of negative stories in the press about abuses and how these had been mishandled and covered up. Bishops were being held to account and people were angry… I mean, priests were angry. I was angry.

“People were angry with the church and a lot of people were walking away, feeling let down and disillusioned. And there we were, sticking our necks out as singing priests and appearing on shows like The Jonathan Ross Show... it was frightening for us.

“But I think, in the end, it gave people something else to talk about and the music lifted spirits. I also think it gave a bit of encouragement to young men contemplating a vocation in the priesthood - it sent out a message that when you put yourself forward as a candidate, you don’t have to set aside your humanity, your personality or your talents - you bring all of that into priestly ministry with you. That’s who you are and that’s what you offer.”

One evening he suddenly said: ‘Martin, your toupee is looking very well this evening’. I just had to react on my feet, responding with a quick, ‘Excuse me, this is the real thing’, and tugging at my head

— Fr Martin O'Hagan

For all three, the legacy will be the sense of fun, as well as the music – and the many non-scripted moments that had Fr Martin literally pulling his hair out.

“The humour is very spontaneous on stage – and I never know what Eugene is going to come out with next,” he says, laughing.

“One evening he suddenly said: ‘Martin, your toupee is looking very well this evening’. I just had to react on my feet, responding with a quick, ‘Excuse me, this is the real thing’, and tugging at my head.

“Music is an amazing means of interpreting our journey through this world and I think when combined with faith, it comes alive, but I hope people also remember we were able to laugh and, even through secular music, bring a spiritual quality that touched lives.”

The Priests’ Time to Say Goodbye concerts take place across Ireland, beginning this month (September 27) in The Lark, Ballbriggan, Co Dublin, before moving to The Market Place, Armagh (November 8), The Braid, Ballymena (November 16), The Guildhall, Derry (December 21) and The Ulster Hall, Belfast (January 5).
