The Emmys aren’t afraid to go there!
In the opening bit, actors — including Kate McKinnon, Keenan Thompson, Tituss Burgess, Kristen Bell, Ricky Martin, Rupaul, Sterling K. Brown, and John Legend — perform a satirical sketch about Hollywood solving all problems related to diversity and sexual misconduct.

Wink, wink… there is STILL more work to be done!
After the bit, Saturday Night Live “Weekend Update” co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che do their monologue where they address everything from declining Emmy viewership (“We’d like to thank the thousands of you sitting here tonight, and the hundreds watching.”), to the #MeToo/Time’s Up movements (“Sir, Ronan Farrow is on line 1.”), to the future of television (“I think we can keep television going for another 5, 6 years tops.”).
