Toronto native Dan Levy set to host SNL for the first time
Toronto-born actor, writer, director and producerDan Levyhas had quite a year.
The Canadian celebrity has long been known asa television personalityfrom his days as a host on MTV Canada, and some say he was destined for the spotlight from the beginning thanks to his famed fatherEugene Levy.
But his level of success reached new heights in recent months following the major international acclaim ofSchitt's Creek— witha record nine Emmy winsawarded to the show last year — as well as his successful holiday movieHappiest Seasonand being named in PEOPLE'SSexiest Man Alive Issue for 2020.
And now the star has yet another reason to celebrate.

In the following week, actor and directorRegina Kingwill host andNathaniel Rateliffwill perform.
This will mark Levy's first time hosting the show, which is considered a major honour reserved for Hollywood's most beloved stars.
And while Levy has certainly gone from a B-list celebrity to an A-lister in a short period of time, he's not above reacting honestly and modestly to such an honour.
"OMFG,"wrote Levy on social mediain reaction to the news. And judging by the more than1,500 replies to his tweet, it's clear his fans couldn't agree more.
