The 77-year-old actor and comedian greeted Jason who was present at the ceremony as he made an appearance on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles on Friday for his Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony.

While receiving the accolade, Eugene said: "My son Daniel couldn't be here today, sadly. He's shooting a movie in Bulgaria, and tell me that doesn't sound like an episode right out of Schitt's Creek, but it's true. My second son, Jim, is here, from American Pie."

He continued, speaking of 45-year-old Jason, "I love the fact you're here, Jason, honestly."

Jason looked stunning in a navy suit with a powder blue shirt and no tie, flashing his winning smile for the cameras.

In the wild franchise's 1999 debut, Eugene played the father of Jason's 'American Pie' character Jim. He has continued to play the same part in several follow-ups over the years, most recently showing up in 2012's 'American Reunion', per PEOPLE.

Eugene Levy also reconnected with Catherine O'Hara, his on-screen wife from 'Schitt's Creek,' at the Hollywood ceremony, where she delivered a statement in honor of her friend.

Eugene and Catherine portrayed a married couple on the well-known sitcom 'Schitt's Creek' for eight seasons which Eugene co-created with his son and co-star Dan Levy, per Daily Mail.

"Eugene is a gentleman in every sense of the word. Eugene takes his comedy very seriously," Catherine stated in her address.

The Lemony Snicket's 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events' actress added: "He's obviously funny but he's not afraid to laugh at himself. Most of his self-effacing jokes are aimed at the fact that he thinks he's not funny at all, which is ridiculous."
