There are a lot of highs and lows in parenting, but telling your daughter that they were nominated for an Emmy has got to be quite a high!
Dan Povenmire is best known as the creator of the animated children’s series, Phineas and Ferb. He’s also the creator of Hamster and Gretel. His daughter, Melissa (Meli) Povenmire, appears on the show as the voice of Gretel. How fun is that!
This year, Meli’s performance warranted an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Younger Voice Performance in a Preschool, Children’s or Young Teen Program!
Getting to collaborate on a show with your family has got to be a special process. So it only made sense that the daughters’s Emmy nomination news came from Dad!
Dan shared the news on his TikTok, and hundreds of thousands of fans liked the clip. Many took to the comments to share their excitement.
“I hope that this is a core memory for Meli. You all deserve the world and more, I am so PROUD,” commented one fan.
“I LOVE their relationship, what an amazing memory! Congratulations Meli!” said another, noting the kind and close dialogue between the two in the clip.
What an incredible moment to witness. Check out the video of Dan telling his daughter Meli they are nominated for an Emmy below!
