SNL Weekend Update’s Michael Che and Colin Jost Will Host 2018 Primetime Emmy Awards
Just in case you don’t remember, the last 5 hosts of The Primetime Emmys were Neil Patrick Harris, Seth Meyers, Andy Samberg, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert.
As such, this is the first time the Emmys have had more than one host share the stage in a decade as well as Michael Che being the first POC host of The Emmys since Bryant Gumbel over a score of years ago. Duos seem to be a good formula for hosts over the last decade (Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, Nick Kroll and John Mulaney) and perhaps that’ll prove true this time around too.
We are really curious what to see what Che and Colin Jost will do together on a bigger stage and out in front of a desk. We’ll be that it’ll have something to reflect on whatever Trump is tweeting around that time.
The 70th Primetime Emmys are set for Sep. 17th, 2018.
