Emmy Awards roasted for mocking Middle America, ratings hit all-time low
FoxNews.com ^ | Sept 18, 2018 | Brian Flood

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 don’t give two farts what Hollywood does. I don’t consume their products or even recognize their employees anymore.

They are dead to me.

Well here in Missouri, that probably got Hawley a few thousand extra votes.

Same here. But it is nice to know the ratings for the Emmys have hit an all-time low.

Had no idea the Emmy’s were on but if I had known, it wouldn’t have made any difference. I make it a point to avoid media garbage.

“I recognized exactly ONE of the people “

That’s one more than I recognized. The older I get, the more ridiculous these people seem to be. Freaks. Totally not of this earth.

Quit TV in 2002?

Beat you to it, FRiend. I quit when Reagan was president.

I do, however, download and watch classic television from a happier era — McHale’s Navy, F Troop, The Munsters, Gilligan’s Island, The Rockford files, and a whole mess of westerns.

As for the Emmy Awards — never seen ‘em, even once. I’d sooner watch the antics of Sgt. O’Rourke and Corp. Agarn than watch a bunch of Hollywood perverts celebrate their own pervertedness.

This has to be one of the worst television shows of all time. Two disgusting/perverted central characters. Not the least bit funny. Yet it's apparently still one of the most popular shows around today. I really feel sorry for anyone growing up in these sick times we're in.
