Dan Levy Gets a Sweet Surprise From Dad Eugene Levy During His SNL Monologue

Feb 6 2021 - 9:35pm

On Feb. 6, Dan Levy [1] made his hosting debut on Saturday Night Live [2] with a charming monologue. "Somewhere my 13-year-old self has fainted in like a really needy, melodramatic way," he stated with a grin. When discussing the highs and lows of his 2020, he couldn't help but include Schitt's Creek [3], which earned nine Emmys [4] and Dan the personal honor of being recognized on the street. Granted, now people keep shouting "Ew [5]!" at him; something he said "will now haunt me for the rest of my life." He then took us on a tour of the SNL set, showing all the "safety measures" the show had put in place, including antiviral mist and a safety officer named Doreen.

At the end of the tour, Dan had the sweetest surprise in the form of his dad, Eugene Levy [6], in a glass box. "I didn't know about the box at the time, no, I found out when I landed," Eugene said with a resigned sigh. With an awkward laugh, Dan added, "Well I'd offer to help but we're live on TV." You can catch the reunion in the video above.
