Eugene Levy addresses Jason Biggs' at Walk of Fame ceremony

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.

Their professional association dates back to the 1970s when they were both members of the SCTV (Second City Television) sketch comedy troupe. They have collaborated on popular films for decades, such as 'Best In Show,' 'Waiting For Guffman,' and 'For Your Consideration.'

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."

I am mildly surprised that he didn't have a star on the Walk of Fame already. Well done and your spawn is kinda funny to"
