In the end, we escaped mostly unscathed, if a little bored. Which is maybe the best we could have hoped for.

Perhaps it was the lack of visuals, but Che and Jost lacked the pace and sharpness of their weekly political commentary.

Produced by Lorne Michaels and hosted by his Weekend Update correspondents and head writers Colin Jost and Michael Che, the Emmys telecast was as paralyzed as the hosts' matching interlocked grips.
September 10, 2019
From lackluster hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che to an unearned demand to be applauded for meager steps toward diversity and inclusion, this was the worst award show in years.

Once Fred Armisen and Maya Rudolph showed up to play comically unprepared Emmy experts, it was clear the night was doubling as an episode of "Saturday Night Live" -- a not-great episode at that.

Fans of SNL got more of what they were looking for -- and then some.

Last night's Emmys-which was hosted by Michael Che... [was] most definitely not funny.

Devoid of charisma and struggling to get the audience on their side, they plodded on, looking like two dads forced to emcee a school assembly where they didn't particularly want to be there, but someone had prevailed upon them to help out.

After the monologue, the Emmys mostly stashed Chost backstage, which was probably for the best. There was no life in their performance - they were like two Francos without a Hathaway. They were the hosting equivalent of making out with a fish.
