Jimmy Fallon Will Host The Emmy Awards

Jimmy Fallon continues to be the luckiest man in NBC's late night wars. First, he survives the mess between Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno and NBC with no battle wounds. He keeps his show, while Conan loses his. Now, Jimmy Fallon lands the opportunity to host the Emmy Awards. How lucky can you get.

Jimmy Fallon always had the potential to be a huge secret weapon for NBC. With his boyish good looks, and his immense comic talent, landing a leading role hosting his own TV show seemed like a job cookie-cut for the comic actor.

Once again, Jimmy Fallon's star shines brightly. And Jimmy Fallon still holds one big trump card for the future as well. When Jay Leno really really decides to retire. Not just pretend retire, Jimmy Fallon stands as the most likely to inherit THE TONIGHT SHOW, something that Conan O'Brien had, but had taken away. How lucky can you get?
