NBC is hosting the Emmys this year, and that means that they get to pick who is going to host the big night. They decided to go with Saturday Night Live’s Michael Che and Colin Jost and I think it is a mistake. I also think it is a mistake that Lorne Michaels is going to produce the big night.
It is not that they are not funny, I just don’t want the awards show to be too political and that is what Weekend Update is all about. For some reason, they did not go with Seth Meyers, who kicked ass at the Golden Globes. Why? I do not know.
Who else is there? I would have given it to Blake Shelton and Adam Levine. We know they are funny and they play well off of each other. If they are not up for the gig, then what about The Good Place’s Ted Danson? He screams host! Plus, he has been on TV since it started. Well, almost, but he has been on some legendary shows. Therefore, he knows television.
Why do I care so much? I don’t know. I already know I am going to hate the nominees because the Television Academy is so elitist, they never nominate shows people watch. Granted I watch a lot of bad TV!
What do you think of Colin Jost and Michael Che hosting?
