Hollywood may have laughed when Emmys host Michael Che said the only white people who thank Jesus are "Republicans and ex-crackheads," but Tinseltown's latest middle finger to Middle America fell flat in flyover country, and may have contributed to the telecast's all-time low viewership.
Co-host Michael Che left many viewers of the 70th Annual Emmy Awards upset during the opening monologue with his fellow "Saturday Night Live" star Colin Jost, explaining that his mother would not be watching the show on Monday night.
"She says she doesn’t like watching white award shows because you guys don’t thank Jesus enough," Che said. "That’s true. The only white people that thank Jesus are Republicans and ex-crackheads."
The joke didn't sit well with some viewers, who took to Twitter to complain. Not only that, the show’s ratings dropped 10 percent from last year's already-dismal numbers, setting an all-time low, according to TheWrap.
While many viewers may have changed the channel after the opening monologue, jabs at average Americans were far from over and the Jesus gag became a running theme throughout the evening.
Conservative strategist Chris Barron told Fox News that “large swaths of the American public just want to be entertained” but instead were turned into "unwilling participants" in a political rally disguised as an awards show.
“Whether it’s the NFL or the Emmys, people desperately want a break from politics."

I can’t recall a time ever in my life I ever watched the Emmy’s. It is another boring awards show that is past it’s due date much like the Academy Awards.
Now these are the dregs of society.
Lorne Michaels produced the Emmy’s...
same as Saturday Night Live....from which the “hosts” are regulars.Nobody wants the gig I guess...now we know why...no talent
I told you Che is not funny. He is 100% black shoulder chip.
The Emmys were on? Rats, we’ve missed so many things since quitting TV in 2002.
I can’t imagine why anyone watches a show like that.
But then I say that a lot these days.
Don’t leave any of them alone with your children.
Don’t leave any of them alone with your children.
What astonishes, amazes, astounds, staggers, surprises, startles, stuns, confounds, dumbfounds, strikes dumb, boggles the mind, stupefies, dazes and shocks,
is that these LIEberal noxious, venomous harridans and their male counterpoints (e.g., assholes!) think that their horrid behavior will gain them sympathy and votes in November?
Go vote, America!
Go vote against these kinds of anti-American, anti-Christian people!
THEY MUST NOT PREVAIL IN NOVEMBER!
Not a good idea to mock God
