I hope that this song can act as a healing moment for those mourning the storytellers that we have lost this year. If you are feeling lost or alone tonight, I want you to know that it’s OK to not always be OK.”
The Emmys, hosted by Schitt’s Creek stars and real-life father-son duo Eugene Levy and Dan Levy are airing RIGHT NOW on ABC. Look back at the nominations list to see who else is up for awards!
