There might be a month to go before the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards, but the awards show is already a trending topic. Particularly, the hosts (or rather one of the hosts) of the coveted event that recognizes the best on television. On Wednesday, NBC debuted a promo for the upcoming ceremony, teasing a look at this year's hosts, Michael Che and Colin Jost. Comedians turned Saturday Night Live stars, Che and Jost, who will be the first duo to host the Emmys "since Jenna Elfman and David Hyde Pierce", in their signature style even offered a little sneak-peek of what is to come - a politically-charged show. 

"This year we decide who wins," says Che as Jost goes on to correct him, telling, "No, it's still the voters." That's when the former decides to drop the political joke. "Yeah, we know how that works out," he says, joking, "Uh, oh! Political!"
