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.

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.

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.
