Briefly on Why Colin Jost and Michael Che Were Such Terrible Emmy's Hosts

Early ratings numbers for last night’s Emmys show a 10 percent slip over last year’s numbers, and there’s a fairly good reason for that beyond the fact that it was moved to Monday night: Colin Jost and Michael Che were not very good hosts. The Emmys are not a platform for “getting to know” the hosts; they’re where established presences can show off their emcee skills. Chost had very little to show off.

As promised, Che and Jost steered clear of election politics; in fact, Donald Trump’s name was not mentioned once during the entire telecast (John Oliver theorized it was because the Emmys wanted to keep those who play drinking games sober). The closest the ceremony came to mentioning Trump may have been the unusual decision to include John McCain in the In Memoriam segment, and I’ve decided that including this particular politician in a TV segment devoted to the passing of folks from the television industry can only be seen as a dig at Trump.
