Ahead of the show, Dan and Eugene Levy told ABC News' Chris Connelly that their humor and banter is what makes their chemistry as hosts work.

"It's kind of a bicker, kinda back and forth. It's a general lack of respect," Eugene Levy said.

"I think we're fortunate enough to have a kind of chemistry that works on an award show," Dan Levy added.
