Fallon to host the Emmys

Jimmy Fallon is expected to host the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards, come this August. It seems as if NBC is on a roll, booking the host for their most imperative awards shows months before they are set to air. If you can recall, Ricky Gervais was booked last week to host the Golden Globes again next year.

Paul Telegdy, executive vp of alternative at NBC said, "Jimmy was the natural choice as one of the most promising and likable young entertainers who will now have the chance to display his many talents on television's biggest night. His proven skills as a comedian and host, as well as his openness to new ideas will fully engage audiences and ultimately deliver a lively Emmy telecast. "
