Who hosted the Emmy Awards held on September 17th, 2018?

The story behind the answer

Michael Che and Colin Jost hosted the Emmy Awards held on September 17, 2018. The ceremony was the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards, broadcast live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

Che and Jost were best known at the time as the co-anchors of Saturday Night Live's “Weekend Update,” as well as co-head writers of the long-running NBC comedy series. Their selection brought the show's political satire and late-night comedic style to television's major awards ceremony.

The 2018 Emmys recognized programs from the 2017–18 television season. Game of Thrones won Outstanding Drama Series, while The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel won Outstanding Comedy Series. A frequent mix-up is treating the Emmys as a single ceremony: the Primetime Emmys are separate from the Daytime, Creative Arts, and other Emmy events, and this question refers specifically to the September 17 primetime broadcast.
