Before they had even opened their mouths, everyone was against this year's Emmys hosts.

Oh.

This is… awkward.

Michael Che and Colin Jost just delivered their opening monologue at the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards.

But before the comedians had even opened their mouths, people were… unimpressed. 

You see, Che and Jost have a history of making regressive jokes and not handling criticism well.

According to Vox, Jost was accused of making transphobic jokes during a Weekend Update segment two years ago. He never apologised or properly addressed the issue.

Che recently defended Louis C.K’s return to comedy after admitting to sexual misconduct last year.

A lot of people thought they weren’t the right choice to host the first Emmys of the #MeToo era.

I’m not strong enough for a Che/Jost “Isn’t it tough to be a comedian in 2018” Emmy show. I’ll be watching the Bears game tonight. Let me know if anything crazy happens.

And it all went rapidly downhill once they did, in fact, open their mouths.

While the comedians attempted to deliver a punchy, political, timely monologue, a lot of their jokes fall flat.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:

Is it too late to hire new hosts for the #emmys?

when is Hollywood going to stop doing the “let’s make fun of how white we are to pretend we care how white we are?” #emmys

Overall energy is at a 3 and weirdness is at an 8 so far #Emmys

I had to laugh that the first televised winner in the #Emmys was a white man when they had a whole monologue of diversity. BUT it’s been 42 yrs for Henry Winkler though. ????
