“Saturday Night Live” Weekend Update hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che headline The 70th Primetime Emmy Awards (NBC, 8 p.m.), an event in which “SNL” may win further awards — it has 21 nominations and Tiffany Haddish already won this year as a guest host. “Game of Thrones” has the most nominations, with 22, so you may be hearing that theme song repeat all night.
