Jost and Che were preceded – and upstaged – by SNL co-stars Kate McKinnon and Kenan Thompson singing “We Solved It,” a song about how the Emmys solved Hollywood’s representation problem.
Che began the monologue by saying it was an honor to share the night with the “many many talented and creative people in Hollywood who haven’t been caught yet.” Jost added that there was alcohol being served and that the last thing Hollywood needs is people losing their inhibitions at a work functionTrue.
