Jimmy Fallon 'Told' to Host the Emmy Awards

It seems that everything
Jimmy Fallon has done over the past year has been brand spanking new to him. New talk show -- 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.' New house band for when the show started -- The Roots. And now, he's been asked to be the new host for the 'Emmy Awards,' reports
E! Online. Well, maybe not asked.
"Hosting the Emmys has been a dream of mine ever since they told me I was doing it," quipped Fallon. The 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are scheduled to air August 29 on NBC. The Peacock Network is home to Fallon's late night talk show, and is also where he made his major television debut as a featured player on 'Saturday Night Live' in 1998. Hmmm, something sounds a little too coincidental.
But before you get conspiratorial about NBC, a past-time that has gained a lot of fans since the Conan O'Brien-Jay Leno 'Tonight Show' switcheroo, Fallon, 35, does have experience doing this type of gig. He's previously hosted the MTV's Movie Awards and Video Music Awards.
The 2010 Emmy Award nominations will be announced July 8.

Totally, so is Paltrow.
How true. He appears tol be a dullard as well.
He must have a good friend at NBC.
FALLON IS GREAT. HE IS FUNNY, TIMING IS RIGHT ON THE MARK, NOT SCARED TO STEP OUT, AND HAS GOTTEN HIS GAME TOGETHER BY EXPERIENCE.
GO JIMMY
