The pair are best known for co-starring and creating Schitt’s Creek, the comedy that was a hit during the first Covid lockdown and dominated the 2020 Emmy Awards.

“For two Canadians who won our Emmy in a real quarantine tent, the idea of being asked to host this year’s show in a real theatre was heartening enough,” the couple said in a statement. “We are thrilled to be able to raise a glass to this extraordinary television season.”

Elsewhere, Selena Gomez, Billy Crystal, Viola Davis, Jimmy Kimmel, Christine Baranski, Lily Gladstone, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph And Steve Martin will give individual awards.

It seems like some sort of West Wing reunion could be in the works, too, because Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, Richard Schiff, Jimmy Smits, Dulé Hill And Janel Moloney are listed in the column’s speaker list.

A Happy Days reunion is also possible, with Ron Howard And Henry Winkler Both will appear as the show celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Arguably the most exciting category this year is best limited series, which Baby reindeer leading in this field.

Scottish comedian Richard Gadd’s story of being stalked by a woman for years and sexually assaulted by a male TV personality has become the most talked-about show of the year.

However, the comedy genre is likely to be dominated by BearThis in itself was controversial as many argued that the show was not a comedy and should not compete there.

We’re not speculating on why this show was submitted as a comedy – but some might wonder if it’s because this category is a little easier to win, with less stiff competition than drama.
