Yahoo Lifestyle How Much Was Dan Levy Paid for Hosting the 2024 Emmys? Well, It's a Little Unexpected...
Listen, we're happy for the celebs winning all their fancy awards and whatnot, but the real reason we're watching the 2024 Emmy Awards? Other than the hope of seeing Meryl Streep and Martin Short holding hands on the carpet? The fact that Dan Levy and his dad Eugene Levy are hosting, meaning a mini Schitt's Creek reunion is officially upon us.
And due to being nosy, our interests suddenly include (1) how much these two are making for hosting this thing, and (2) Dan Levy's net worth, because I've gotta assume it's pretty high based on the amount of time I personally spend watching Schitt's Creek.
Let's dive in!
How Much Do Emmy Hosts Make?
Short answer: no one knows. But probably not that much if the Oscars is anything to go by. In fact, Jimmy Kimmel revealed that he was paid $15,000 to host the Oscars, which is obviously a lot of money for one night of work—buuuut hosting an awards show actually takes months of planning. Guess it's all about the "honor" of being chosen?
The Schitt's Creek of It All
Despite winning every award under the sun and being critically acclaimed + beloved, Schitt's Creek didn't become household-name-levels of popular until its last few seasons. As a result, Dan's per-episode salary as the show's star and creator isn't public knowledge, but it sure seems like he's making a ton of money now that Schitt's Creek is in its streaming era.
What we do know? That Hulu bought the rights to Schitt's Creek for $1.2 million dollars per episode. Once again, that is PER EPISODE. And there are 80 episodes...which equals a lot of money. Considering Dan Levy is the co-creator, let's all hope he cashed a big chunk of that check.
Either way, the multi-hyphenate signed a 8-figure deal with Netflix in 2021 (per Variety) so he's sitting pretty either way!
Dan Levy's Total Net Worth
Aside from all that aforementioned Hulu and Netflix money, Dan also has assets tied up in real estate thanks to a $4.13 million villa he purchased in Los Feliz back in 2019. On top of that, Dan spent the early part of his career as a TV host for the likes of MTV Spring Break and he's been partnering with some pretty major brands lately.
Point is: Dan's been working forever, and as a result Celebrity Net Worth reports that his total net worth is $14 million (and counting).
While We're Here: Let's Discuss Eugene Levy's Net Worth
Let's not forget that Dan is co-hosting the Emmys with his famous father, Eugene Levy! Or as I'll always know him, Gerry Fleck from Best in Show. Anyway, Eugene has been working steadily in the industry for decades, starring in hits like American Pie, Waiting for Guffman, Father of the Bride, and a million other films (including NEW YORK MINUTE, just saying) and has reportedly accrued a net worth of $30 million. Not! Too! Shabby!
Catch Dan and Eugene at the Emmy awards on Sunday, September 15!
