Roll out the red or rather, the gold carpet!

Thats right, this years Emmy Awards carpet will be golden in honor of the ceremonys 70th anniversary.

Unveiling the carpet for reporters, Che declared, This isnt as gold as I thought it would be.

I was expecting a much tackier gold, but this is a reasonable gold.

Many of them were in prominent locations, suggesting they could be involved in on-camera bits.

Jost also took a moment to comment on his costar Kenan Thompsons first career nomination.

Its crazy that its his first nomination.

Hes been so good for so long, he said.

Hes been on television almost 60 years.

He makes every sketch better.

I think anyone whos ever worked at the show and worked with Kenan would nominate him every year.

The Emmys will air live on NBC at 8 pm E.T./5 pm P.T.
