We are just a few days away from the live telecast of the 62nd annual Primetime Emmy Awards and that means that the folks putting together the show are in the final stretch of preparations for the big to do. As you should be well aware, Jimmy Fallon will be hosting the Emmys this year and he shared with the LA Times a bit of info about some of the preparations that he is doing for this Sunday night’s show:
The Emmy Awards may be less than a week away, but Jimmy Fallon has yet to lose his cool over hosting Sunday’s 62nd annual prime-time event. “We’re getting the final touches on the opening thing that we’re doing. It’s really fun,” Fallon told us … “I’m at the Nokia Theater all day long now, from now until the Emmys. Just getting ready. It’s a long process, a lot of rehearsals, stuff like that” … Fallon was disappointingly tight-lipped about what audiences can expect from this year’s telecast, saying only that a lot of our “favorite TV stars” will be “helping him out” during the show’s opening segment. He also would not reveal which nominees he was rooting for. But he did make one thing clear — the Emmys won’t share many similarities with his late night talk show. “There’s no Roots, sadly. The Roots didn’t come with me from New York. Kind of miss them,” he said, referring to his show’s band. “I think if it’s too much me, it takes away from the fun of the Emmys. My job as a host is to keep moving fast and to let the other people shine, the nominees. Make it a fun night for everybody.”
You know, I really love Jimmy Fallon. Not only is he always funny but he really strikes me as a really kind, really down to Earth guy. My friend Tony and I were at the live taping of America’s Got Talent last night to watch Kylie Minogue perform her new single Get Out Of My Way yesterday afternoon and Jimmy came out to do a short bit for the show as well. He was really funny, yes, but he was also very kind to the audience yesterday. I can’t wait to watch him host the Emmys this Sunday night. After the jump, check out a short video of Jimmy‘s impromptu interview with the LA Times …
I really hope that Jimmy KILLS at the Emmys this weekend. I think he’s got it in him to put on a great show … I can’t wait to find out. The 2010 Emmy Awards will air LIVE this Sunday night on NBC at 8PM ET, 5PM PT.
