'Golden Bachelor' contestants, Steve Martin and Martin Short
We thought the opening monologue was over, but Eugene and Dan Levy's best joke of the night came when they introduced the first presenters of the prime-time ceremony.
The Levys introduced Selena Gomez of "Only the Murders in the Building," along with her all-star comedy co-stars, Steve Martin and Martin Short.
Martin and Short have been at this comedy thing a long time, so they were introduced as "from the 'Golden Bachelor.'" They have yet to grace the reality show yet, but they are age-eligible.

'Shōgun' has already won big at the Emmys, before the show even started
"Shōgun" broke a record at the 2024 Creative Arts Emmys, taking home 14 awards after being nominated for 16. This means it's won the most Emmys ever for a single season of a television series.
The series, released in February, is nominated for five Emmys tonight.
Emmys co-hosts Eugene and Dan Levy kick off the ceremony
Eugene and Dan Levy, the father-son duo behind "Schitt's Creek" and the co-emcees of the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, opened the show with a lively monologue.
The younger Levy said he was excited to co-host "broadcast TV's biggest night for honoring movie stars on streaming services." (This year's acting contenders include Oscar winners like Meryl Streep and Robert Downey Jr.)
The co-hosts paid tribute to the night's leading nominees: "Shōgun" (25 nominations) and "The Bear" (23 nominations).
"I love the show," Eugene Levy said, referring to the "The Bear." Then he added: "I know some of you might be expecting us to make a joke about whether 'The Bear' is really a comedy. but in the true spirit of 'The Bear,' we will not be making any jokes."
The shows we're rooting for tonight
Daniel Arkin, reporter: "Baby Reindeer" is expected to dominate the limited series categories, but my heart is with "Ripley," a moody, deliberately paced adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's first novel about the con artist Tom Ripley. Beautiful black-and-white cinematography, precise period details, subtle performances — "Ripley" was one of the year's under-the-radar gems.
Michelle Garcia, editor: Is it cheating if I say "The Bear"? Isn’t everyone rooting for season two? Every episode just stays with me for days after I watch it.
Kaetlyn Liddy, reporter: I’m rooting for “The Crown” to get its flowers in its final season. The show has been a mainstay at the Emmys since its debut in 2016, but some of its best moments last year were overshadowed by the generational brilliance of “Succession.” The swan song season of “The Crown” covered the 1997 death of Princess Diana, a challenge that had been looming large for the series for its entire run. The event ultimately happened off-camera, a mark of deference from a show that walks the tricky line between history and fiction.
Kalhan Rosenblatt, reporter: I’m in an NBC household, so we’re always rooting for "Saturday Night Live" to take home a few awards. I’m also in love with "What We Do in the Shadows" star Matt Berry, and I’m rooting for him to take home the award for lead actor in a comedy.
Angela Yang, reporter: I know it’s already expected to sweep tonight, but I’m excited to see "Shōgun" become the first non-English-language show to win outstanding drama series. I’m in awe of everything from the writing to its production design, and I think the show deserves all the hype it’s getting.
Rebecca Cohen, reporter: I’m rooting for “Hacks”! I absolutely adore Hannah Einbinder and Jean Smart’s on-screen chemistry, and it’s truly one of the only TV shows out there that makes me cry from laughing so hard.
