Jason Matthew Biggs (born May 12, 1978) is an American actor best known for his role as Jim Levenstein in the ''American Pie series'' of teen comedy films.

Personal life

Biggs was born in Pompton Plains, New Jersey, the son of Angela, a nurse, and Gary Biggs, a shipping company manager. He grew up in nearby Hasbrouck Heights and attended Hasbrouck Heights High School there. Biggs had success in athletics while in high school, both in tennis and in wrestling.

Biggs is Italian American and Roman Catholic; he has mentioned in interviews that he is sometimes cast as an explicitly or implicitly Jewish character, as he was in ''American Pie'' (other examples include his roles in ''Saving Silverman'' and ''Anything Else''), though he is not Jewish himself.

In January 2008, he became engaged to his ''My Best Friend's Girl'' co-star, actress Jenny Mollen; they married on April 23, 2008. He currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

On April 28, 2012 Jason stole the taxi that Jack Barakat from All Time Low was waiting for. It's all good though, Jack is a big fan of Jason.

Career

Biggs began acting at the age of five. In 1992, he made his television debut in the short lived Fox network series ''Drexell's Class''. He also made a one-off HBO special, ''The Fotis Sevastakis Story'', but due to licencing arguments, it was never aired. That same year, Biggs debuted on Broadway in ''Conversations with My Father'', which helped pave the way for him to participate in the daytime soap opera, ''As the World Turns''. He was nominated for the award of Best Younger Actor at the daytime Emmy Awards for his role.

Biggs attended New York University briefly from 1996–1997, but soon afterwards, he returned to pursue his acting. And so he would be seen again in another short lived television series, 1997's ''Camp Stories''. He then starred in ''American Pie'', which went on to become an international hit that has spawned three sequels (also starring Biggs) and four spinoffs (that did not star Biggs). After that, Biggs accepted starring roles in movies such as ''Loser'' in 2000, and others. He appeared in the 2002 Broadway production of ''The Graduate'' as Benjamin Braddock along side Kathleen Turner and Alicia Silverstone. And in the 2004–2005 season Biggs portrayed an Orthodox Jew in Daniel Goldfarb's comedy, ''Modern Orthodox'', staged at Dodger Stages theater in New York City. In 2006, Biggs was seen in the MTV reality show ''Blowin' Up'' with Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone which led to his participation in a hip-hop recording with Bay Area rapper E-40. Jason returned to the stage in the fall of 2008 in Howard Korder's ''Boys' Life'' at New York City's Second Stage Theatre.

Biggs appears in the film ''Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'' (2001) as himself playing Silent Bob in the movie within the movie scene, opposite James Van Der Beek as Jay, in which he is referred to as "the guy who fucked the pie" (referring to his infamous scene in ''American Pie''). He has appeared in several other films, including Texas Rangers, Scary Movie and ''Over Her Dead Body''.

In 2010, he made his literary debut by contributing "Scratch-and-Sniff," a poem about growing up in New Jersey, to the anthology ''What's Your Exit? A Literary Detour through New Jersey'' (Word Riot Press, 2010), alongside writers such as Joyce Carole Oates, Tom Perrotta, Robert Pinsky, Gerald Stern, and J. Robert Lennon.

He reprised his role as Jim Levenstein in ''American Reunion'', which was released on April 6, 2012.

}} James Christian "Jimmy" Kimmel (born November 13, 1967) is an American comedian, actor, voice artist and television host. He is the host of ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'', a late-night talk show that airs on ABC. Prior to that, Kimmel was best known as the co-host of Comedy Central's ''The Man Show'' and ''Win Ben Stein's Money''. Kimmel is also a television producer, having produced shows such as ''Crank Yankers'', ''Sports Show with Norm Macdonald'', and ''The Andy Milonakis Show''.

Early life

Kimmel was born in the Mill Basin neighborhood of the New York City borough of Brooklyn, the eldest of three children of Joann (née Iacono), a homemaker, and James Kimmel, an IBM executive. He is Roman Catholic and, as a child, served as an altar boy. Kimmel is of German and Irish descent on his father’s side and Italian descent on his mother’s side. His uncle, Frank Potenza, appeared on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' as a regular from 2003 until his death in 2011.

The family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, when he was nine years old. He graduated from Ed W. Clark High School and then attended University of Nevada, Las Vegas for one year before attending Arizona State University for two years without completing a degree.

Career

Radio career

Kimmel began working in the radio industry while in high school, hosting a Sunday night interview show on UNLV's college station KUNV. While attending Arizona State University, he became a popular caller to the KZZP-FM afternoon show hosted by radio personalities Mike Elliott and Kent Voss in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1989, Kimmel landed his first paying job alongside Voss as morning drive co-host of ''The Me and Him Show'' at KZOK-FM in Seattle, Washington. Ten months later, Kimmel and Voss were fired by KZOK (for reasons unknown) and were fired again a year later at WRBQ-FM in Tampa, Florida. Kimmel went from Tampa to host his own show at KCMJ in Palm Springs, California, where Kimmel convinced a young Carson Daly to drop out of college and become his intern. After a morning stint at KRQQ In Tucson, Arizona, Kimmel landed at KROQ-FM in Los Angeles. He spent five years as "Jimmy The Sports Guy" for the Kevin and Bean morning show. During this time he met and befriended a struggling comedian named Adam Carolla.

Comedy Central

Kimmel began his television career as the comedic counterpart to Ben Stein on the game show ''Win Ben Stein's Money'', which began airing on Comedy Central in 1997. His quick wit and loutish everyman personality were counterpoints to Stein's monotone performing style and patrician demeanor. The combination earned the pair an Emmy award for Best Game Show Host.

In 1999, during his time with ''Win Ben Stein's Money'', Kimmel was also co-host with Adam Carolla and co-creator (with Daniel Kellison) of Comedy Central's ''The Man Show''. Kimmel permanently left ''Win Ben Stein's Money'' in 2001, replaced by comedian Nancy Pimental, who was eventually replaced by Kimmel's cousin Sal Iacono. ''The Man Show'''s success allowed Kimmel, Carolla and Kellison to create and produce, under the banner Jackhole Industries, ''Crank Yankers'' for Comedy Central (on which Kimmel plays the characters "Elmer Higgins", "Terrence Catheter", "The Nudge", "Karl Malone" and himself), and later ''The Andy Milonakis Show'' for MTV2. Kimmel also produced and co-wrote the feature film ''Windy City Heat'', which won the Comedia Award for Best Film at the Montreal Comedy Festival.

''Jimmy Kimmel Live!''

In January 2003, Kimmel permanently left ''The Man Show'' to host his own late-night talk show, ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' on ABC. ''Jimmy Kimmel Live'' was briefly also broadcast on Irish digital TV channel 3e. In the April 2007 issue of Stuffmagazine.com, Kimmel was named the "biggest badass on TV". Kimmel said it was an honor but clearly a mistake.

Since the show's second season, it has not actually been broadcast live. This is due to an incident during the 2004 NBA Finals in Detroit, when Kimmel appeared on ABC's halftime show to make an on-air plug for his show. He suggested that if the Detroit Pistons defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, "they're gonna burn the city of Detroit down ... and it's not worth it." Officials with Detroit's ABC affiliate, WXYZ-TV, immediately announced that night's show would not air on the station. Hours later, ABC officials pulled that night's show from the entire network. Kimmel later apologized. The incident led ABC officials to force Kimmel to tape his show an hour before it airs in most of the country to check for offending content.

Kimmel usually ends his show with, "My apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time." When Matt Damon did actually appear on the show to be interviewed, he walked in and sat down only to be told just a few seconds later by Kimmel, "Sorry, but once again we are completely out of time." Damon seemed to become angry.

In February 2008 Kimmel showed a mock music video with a panoply of stars called, "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck", as "revenge" after his then-girlfriend Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon recorded a similar video, "I'm Fucking Matt Damon". Silverman's video originally aired on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'', and became an "instant YouTube sensation." Kimmel's "revenge" video featured himself, Ben Affleck, and a large lineup of stars, particularly in scenes spoofing the 1985 "We Are the World" video: Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Cameron Diaz, Robin Williams, Harrison Ford, Dominic Monaghan, Benji Madden and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte, Lance Bass, Macy Gray, Josh Groban, Huey Lewis, Perry Farrell, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Pete Wentz, Meat Loaf, Rebecca Romijn, Christina Applegate, Dom Joly, Mike Shinoda, Lauren Conrad, and Joan Jett, among others. After this Jimmy's sidekick, Guillermo, appeared in a spoof of The Bourne Ultimatum, which starred Damon. He was then chased down by Damon as Matt cursed about Kimmel being behind all this. Guillermo also stopped Damon on the red carpet one time and before he could finish the interview he said, "Sorry we are out of time." The most recent encounter was titled "The Handsome Men's Club" which featured Kimmel, along with the "Handsome Men", who were: Matthew McConaughey, Rob Lowe, Lenny Kravitz, Patrick Dempsey, Sting, Keith Urban, John Krasinski, Ethan Hawke, Josh Hartnett, Tony Romo, Ted Danson, Taye Diggs, Gilles Marini, and Ben Affleck, speaking about being handsome and all the jobs that come with it. At the end of the skit Kimmel has a door slammed in his face by none other than Matt Damon, stating that they had run out of time and then Damon continues with a sinister laugh. Jennifer Garner also makes a surprise appearance.

As a tradition, celebrities voted off ''Dancing with the Stars'' appear on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'', causing Kimmel to describe himself as "the three-headed dog the stars must pass on their way to No-Dancing Hell". In the 2008 season of his show, Kimmel started another tradition of ceremonially burning the dancers' shoes after they were voted off ''DWTS''.

Other television work

In Spring 1996, Kimmel appeared as "Jimmy the Fox Guy" in promos on the Fox network.

Kimmel's other television work included being the on-air football prognosticator for ''Fox NFL Sunday'' for four years. He has had numerous appearances on other talk shows including, but not limited to, ''Live with Regis and Kelly'', ''The Howard Stern Show'', ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show'', and ''The Late Show with David Letterman''. Kimmel has appeared on ''The Late Show'' five times, most recently in 2010. Kimmel served as roastmaster for the New York Friars' Club Roast of Hugh Hefner and Comedy Central Roasts of ''Pamela Anderson''. He has appeared on ABC's Dancing with the Stars, along with his parking lot security guard Guillermo.

In August 2006, ABC announced that Jimmy Kimmel would be the host of their new game show ''Set for Life''. The show debuted on July 20, 2007. On April 6, 2007, Kimmel filled in for Larry King on ''Larry King Live''. That particular show was about the paparazzi and Kimmel reproached Emily Gould, an editor from Gawker.com, about the web site's alleged stalking of celebrities. On July 8, 2007, Kimmel managed the National League in the 2007 Taco Bell All-Star Legends and Celebrity Softball Game in San Francisco. He played in the game in 2004 and 2006 (Houston and Pittsburgh). On July 11, 2007, Kimmel along with basketball player LeBron James, hosted the 2007 ''ESPY Awards''. The show aired on ESPN on July 15, 2007. Kimmel hosted the American Music Awards on ABC four times, in 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008.

Kimmel guest hosted ''Live with Regis and Kelly'' during the week of October 22, 2007 – October 26, 2007, commuting every day between New York and Los Angeles. In the process, he broke the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest distance () travelled in one work week.

Kimmel has performed in several animated films, often voicing dogs. His voice appeared in ''Garfield'' and ''Road Trip'', and he portrayed Death's Dog in the ''Family Guy'' episode "Mr. Saturday Knight"; ''Family Guy'' creator Seth McFarlane later presented Kimmel with a figurine of his character on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!''. Kimmel also did voice work for ''Robot Chicken''. Kimmel's cousin "Sal" (Sal Iacono) has accepted and won a wrestling match with WWE superstar Santino Marella. On January 14, 2010, in the midst of the 2010 Tonight Show host and time slot conflict, Kimmel was the special guest of Jay Leno on ''The Jay Leno Show'''s "10 at 10" segment. Kimmel derided Leno in front of a live studio audience for taking back the 11:35 pm time slot from Conan O'Brien, and repeatedly insulted Leno. He ended the segment with a plea that Leno "leave our shows alone," as Kimmel and O'Brien had "kids" while Leno only had "cars".

Kimmel also made a brief appearance in the TV commercial "There's A Soldier In All Of Us" promoting the 2010 video game ''Call of Duty: Black Ops'', along with Kobe Bryant. He is seen taking cover from bullets, then firing an RPG-7 with the words ''PROUD N00b'' on it, with the aftershock from the weapon sending him tumbling backwards.

He has been asked to host the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards which will air on September 23, 2012, marking his first time hosting the event.

Kimmel hosted the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C. on April 28, 2012.

Personal life

Kimmel and his then girlfriend, Gina, married in June 1988. They have two children, Katie (born 1991) and Kevin (born 1993). Katie Kimmel is an art student in Chicago. The marriage ended in separation in early 2002. Kimmel then dated comedian Sarah Silverman for five years, splitting with her in March 2009. He started dating current girlfriend, Molly McNearney, in October 2009. McNearney is also a co-head writer for ''Jimmy Kimmel Live''.

Kimmel plays the bass clarinet. He got a chance to showcase his talent during a July 20, 2008, concert in Costa Mesa, California, featuring the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, when he took the stage and played bass clarinet on their hit song "The Impression That I Get."

Kimmel has spoken publicly of being a narcoleptic.

Kimmel co-founded the annual LA Feast of San Gennaro, which celebrates Italian culture through entertainment, music and cuisine. The festival also honors outstanding members of the Los Angeles community and raises funds to aid needy children and families in the city. He hosted Los Angeles' eighth annual feast of San Gennaro from September 28 to 30, 2009. Kimmel served as Master of Ceremonies for the National Italian American Foundation's 34th Anniversary Gala in Washington, D.C., on October 24, 2009.

Seann William Scott (born October 3, 1976) is an American actor and comedian. He is best known for playing the role of Steve Stifler in the ''American Pie'' film series. He also played roles in the films ''Final Destination'', ''Road Trip'', ''Dude, Where's My Car?'', ''Evolution'', ''The Rundown'', ''The Dukes of Hazzard'', ''Role Models'', ''Cop Out'', and ''Goon''.

Early life

Scott, the youngest of seven children, was born in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, the son of Patricia Anne (''née'' Simons), a homemaker, and William Frank Scott, a factory worker. His oldest brother Daniel, while at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, helped found ''The Onion'', and was among the earliest writers for it. He was inspired to become an actor while working at the local movie theater and seeing all the movies he could watch free. He graduated from Crestview Elementary School and Park High School. After he graduated from high school, he attended Glendale Community College. His first professional gig was on television in the music video for "Hole in My Soul" by Aerosmith. Soon after the video, he appeared in ''Chad's World'', a gay-themed TV show broadcast on the Web by the short-lived Digital Entertainment Network.

Career

Scott's first commercial success came with the 1999 movie ''American Pie'' as Steve Stifler, a role he reprised in three sequels, ''American Pie 2'', ''American Wedding'' and ''American Reunion''. For his supporting role in the first film, Scott was reportedly paid $8,000. Though the character of "Steve Stifler" propelled Scott into the public consciousness, the actor has mentioned in a variety of interviews his fear of typecasting, which has led him to choose to play different types of characters post-''American Pie'' such as hapless nerd role in the film ''Final Destination'' and a harmless stoner character in ''Dude, Where's My Car?'' alongside Ashton Kutcher. He made an appearance in Kevin Smith's ''Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'' as a guitar-playing animal rights activist and has a starring part as a police officer in ''Southland Tales'', where he re-unites with fellow actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, with whom he had previously worked in ''The Rundown''. Scott hosted the MTV Movie Awards 2003 alongside Justin Timberlake. The two performed several skits, including scenes from ''The Matrix Reloaded'', which are on ''The Matrix Reloaded'' DVD. He has also hosted ''Saturday Night Live'' and appeared as a guest co-host on ''Live with Regis and Kelly''. He co-starred in ''Cop Out'', Kevin Smith's action comedy, alongside Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan.

He reprises his role as Steve Stifler in the sequel of the ''American Pie'' primary film series titled ''American Reunion''.

Personal life

On March 16, 2011, Scott was admitted to a treatment facility for "health and personal issues." His representatives declined to confirm any details about the decision, including specifying the facility. On April 13, 2011, it was reported that Scott had successfully completed the treatment program.

In March 2012, Scott confirmed that he is engaged to model Lindsay Frimodt.

Alyson Lee Hannigan (born March 24, 1974) is an American actress. She is known for her roles as Willow Rosenberg in the cult classic television series ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer,'' Michelle Flaherty in four ''American Pie'' films, and Lily Aldrin on the CBS sitcom ''How I Met Your Mother''.

Early life

Hannigan was born in Washington, D.C. She is the only child of Emilie Posner, a real estate agent, and Al Hannigan, a truck driver. Her father is of Irish descent and her mother is Jewish. Her parents divorced when she was two and she was raised mostly by her mother in Atlanta, Georgia.

Career

Early career

Although Hannigan appeared in an industrial film for "Active Parenting" as a baby, as well as having starred in a commercial for the Duncan Hines cookie mix in 1978, it was not until 1985, when she moved to Los Angeles, California, that she formally began her acting career. Living with her mother and attending North Hollywood High School, she successfully auditioned for agents while visiting her father in Santa Barbara. After attending North Hollywood High School, she attended California State University, Northridge where she earned a degree in psychology.

Hannigan's first major film role was in ''My Stepmother Is an Alien'', a science fiction comedy released in 1988; one of her co-stars in the film was actor Seth Green, who would later join her in the regular cast of ''Buffy'' as her on-screen boyfriend. Then in 1989, her first regular role on a TV series came when she was cast in the short-lived ABC sitcom ''Free Spirit''.

Breakthrough career (1997–present)

In 1997, at 23, Hannigan was cast to play Willow Rosenberg, Buffy's best friend, on the television series ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer''. The show became a success, and Hannigan gained recognition, subsequently appearing in several notable films aimed at teenage audiences, including ''American Pie'', ''American Pie 2'', ''Boys and Girls'', and ''American Wedding''. By the time ''Buffy'' ended in 2003, Hannigan was earning a US$250,000 salary for each episode. She also had a guest spot on the ''Buffy'' spin-off, ''Angel'', reprising her role of Willow in a few episodes (including most notably "Orpheus," during the fourth season of ''Angel'' and the seventh season of ''Buffy''), but none after ''Buffy'' finished production.

In early 2004, Hannigan made her West End debut, starring in a stage adaptation of ''When Harry Met Sally...'' at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, opposite Luke Perry.

In 2005, Hannigan returned to starring in a regular television series, appearing in the hit comedy, ''How I Met Your Mother'', as Lily, and also playing a recurring guest role on ''Veronica Mars'' as Trina Echolls.

In February 2006, Hannigan starred as Julia Jones in ''Date Movie'', a parody of romantic comedies. She was also a guest star on the ABC animated sitcom ''The Goode Family'' in 2009.

Hannigan joined forces with Emily Deschanel, Jaime King, Minka Kelly, and Katharine McPhee in a "video slumber party" featured on FunnyorDie.com to promote regular breast cancer screenings for the organization Stand Up 2 Cancer.

Hannigan reprised her role of Michelle in ''American Reunion'', released on April 6, 2012.

Eugene Levy, CM (born December 17, 1946) is a Canadian actor, comedian, television director, producer, musician, and writer. He is known for his work in Canadian television series, United States movies, and television movies. He is the only actor to have appeared in all eight of the ''American Pie'' films, as Noah Levenstein. Levy was appointed to the Order of Canada on June 30, 2011.

Early life

Levy was born to a Jewish family in Hamilton, Ontario. His father was a foreman in an automobile plant. He went to Westdale Secondary School, and attended McMaster University. He was vice-president of the McMaster Film Board, a student film group where he met moviemaker Ivan Reitman.

Career

He began his career as a comedian in the sketch comedy series ''Second City Television''. An alumnus of both Second City Toronto and the sketch comedy series ''SCTV'', Levy often plays unusual supporting characters with nerdish streaks. Perhaps his best known role on ''SCTV'' was as the dimwitted Earl Camembert, a news anchor for the "SCTV News" and a parody of real-life Canadian newsman Earl Cameron. Celebrities impersonated by Levy on SCTV include: Perry Como, Ricardo Montalban, Alex Trebek, Sean Connery, Howard Cosell, Henry Kissinger, Menachem Begin, Bud Abbott, Milton Berle, John Charles Daly, Gene Shalit, Jack Carter, Muammar al-Gaddafi, Tony Dow, James Caan, Lorne Greene, Rex Reed, Ralph Young (of Sandler and Young), F. Lee Bailey, Ernest Borgnine, former Ontario chief coroner Dr. Morton Schulman, Norman Mailer, Neil Sedaka, and Howard McNear as “Floyd the Barber”.

Other Levy characterizations were comic Bobby Bittman, scandal sheet entrepreneur Dr. Rawl Withers, “report on business” naïf Brian Johns, 3-D horror auteur Woody Tobias Jr., cheerful Leutonian accordionist Stan Schmenge, lecherous dream interpreter Raoul Wilson, hammer-voiced sports broadcaster Lou Jaffe, diminutive union patriarch Sid Dithers ("San Francisckie! Did you drove or did you flew?"), fey current-events commentator Joel Weiss, buttoned-down panel show moderator Dougal Currie, smarmy ''Just for Fun'' emcee Stan Kanter, energetic used car salesman Al Peck, guileless security guard Gus Gustofferson, Phil the Garment King (also of Phil's Nails), and inept dance show host Rockin’ Mel Slirrup.

Though he has been the “above the title” star in only two films, 1986’s ''Armed and Dangerous'' and 2005’s ''The Man'', he has featured prominently in many films. He is the co-writer and frequent cast member of Christopher Guest’s mockumentary features, particularly ''A Mighty Wind'', where his sympathetic performance as brain-damaged folksinger Mitch Cohen won kudos; his accolades included a Satellite Award for Best Supporting Actor - Musical or Comedy and the prestigious New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actor. In the 1980s and 1990s, he appeared in ''Splash'', ''National Lampoon’s Vacation'', ''Club Paradise'', ''Stay Tuned'', ''Multiplicity'', and other comedies. Levy was the creator of ''Maniac Mansion'', a television sitcom based on the LucasArts video game of the same name. He was also seriously considered for the role of Toby Ziegler on ''The West Wing'', a role that went to actor Richard Schiff.

''American Pie'' series

Levy's career received a tremendous boost in 1999, when he was cast as the clueless but loving dad in the blockbuster ''American Pie''. Reprising the role in two film sequels and starring in four straight-to-video sequels made him something of a cult hero. In 2002, following the success of the ''American Pie'' film series, Levy signed a contract to make an additional three ''American Pie'' movies for a combined ten thousand dollars, forgoing an originally large, six figures salary. The decision was later discussed in an interview in which Levy pointed to a similar story of Bill Murray turning down a large salary to make the Wes Anderson movie ''Rushmore''. Levy has been quoted as saying the ''American Pie'' series was particular turning point in his career, affording him "a new perspective on his career at the time". Since working on the first two ''American Pie'' movies, Levy has worked with Steve Martin and Queen Latifah in ''Bringing Down the House'', and most recently appeared with Martin in ''Cheaper by the Dozen 2''. Levy again appeared as his famous character Noah Levenstein in the movie in the ''American Pie'' film series, ''American Reunion''. He is the only actor to appear in all eight ''American Pie'' films.

Recognition

Levy, along with Christopher Guest and Michael McKean, was awarded the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television, or Other Visual Media for the title song from ''A Mighty Wind''. Levy appeared in the corner of a poster hanging outside the movie theatre in Springfield in the "See Homer Run" episode of ''The Simpsons''. (The poster was advertising for ''Rockstar Princess'' and featured a girl with an electric guitar, with Levy in the corner wearing a royal crown. A liner note under him read “Eugene Levy as the King”).

In March 2006, it was announced that he would receive a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame. In 2002, the entire cast of ''SCTV'' was given a group star, and although Levy is not mentioned on the actual star, he was still inducted as a part of the group. This makes him one of only four two-time honourees, alongside fellow ''SCTV'' alumni John Candy, Martin Short, and Catherine O'Hara.

Levy is one of only a handful of people who have won at least five Canadian Comedy Awards, including two for Best Writing (''Best In Show'' in 2001 and ''A Mighty Wind'' in 2004) and three for Best Male Performer (''Best in Show'', ''American Pie 2'' in 2002, and ''A Mighty Wind'').

On May 3, 2008, the Governor General of Canada presented Levy with the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards (GGPAA), a lifetime achievement award considered Canada's "most prestigious artistic honour". In 2011, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada "for his contributions as a comic actor and writer, and for his dedication to charitable causes."
