The news was revealed on Good Morning America on Friday.
The pair, who made history four years ago as the first father-son duo to win Emmy Awards in the same year, will now take the stage together.
Eugene and his son are no strangers to sharing a mic, however.
The two previously made a splash with their opening monologue at the 2020 SAG Awards.
Fans on social media have been showing excitement over the duo’s upcoming gig.
“Hmmm……I might actually watch the Emmys this year,” one person tweeted.
A second said it was the “best choice in years.”
“Great selection! I bet the ratings will be excellent,” another wrote.
The 76th Emmy Awards will air live on ABC on September 15 at 8 pm EST.
Comedian Anthony Anderson, 54, last hosted the 75th Emmys in January.
