Jimmy Fallon Entertains And 'Modern Family' Wins Big At The 2010 Primetime Emmys

By Simone Hilliard

The 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were hosted by "SNL" alum and Late Night star Jimmy Fallon, and the first-time host definitely delivered! Kicking off the show with the cast of "Glee," Betty White, Tina Fey and more, Fallon's song and dance routine was a fun homage to the Emmy-nominated halls of McKinley High!

Fallon continued to punch up the Emmys telecast with digital and musical touches similar to those he often uses on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon." The comedian strapped on an acoustic guitar to introduce sizzle reels recapping the year in television and a few lucky Emmy fans on Twitter got some love when Fallon wove their comments into his intro for presenters.

Fallon also kept the audience in hysterics with a tribute to the TV dramas we lost over the past year. Manning a pink piano and sporting rose-colored glasses, à la Elton John, Fallon revamped the pop icon's "Candle in the Wind" to honor the canceled "24." Then, busting out his admirable quick-change skills, the comic donned a cardigan, switched up Boyz II Men's "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" and poured out a 40 to commemorate "Law & Order." Jimmy then sported a black emo getup and spiked hair like Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong for a version of "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" to honor "Lost."

Although low on scandalous, unscripted live-television moments, the telecast delivered spoofs on some of television's biggest hits. In one clip, the cast of "Modern Family" endures somewhat ridiculous suggestions on how to improve the show. Ideas included teaming up with animated Stewie from "Family Guy," shooting the show in 3-D and adding the dreamy George Clooney, who also received the night's Bob Hope Humanitarian Award.

While Sofia Vergara looked ultra sexy in 3-D, she unfortunately lost in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy category, but "Modern Family" did win 5 Emmys overall including Outstanding Comedy Series.

Which begs us to ask: Will Vergara keep her pre-Emmy promise and streak naked across L.A.'s Sunset Blvd?  Back in July, Modern Family took out an ad in Variety magazine claiming, “If Modern Family wins the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy, Sofia Vergaga will run naked down Sunset Blvd.” Of course, the ad ran with a brief clause that claimed Vergara could be replaced by any cast member at any time. But, Sofia seemed game, claiming, “Listen, I’m not afraid of anything. I’m Colombian.”

After the win, however, Vergara jokingly told reporters that she'd already run nude.

“I did the run and I came back. Yes, I mean, I’m fast. I run fast. They zipped me and they sent me to do press."

We doubt that. But not to worry, Ed O'Neil, Sofia's on-screen hubby is more than willing to take her place! Something tells us, Vergara's sprint will be easier on the eyes!

Overall, the 2010 Emmy winners were fairly diverse last night. In fact, some of the 2010 Emmy winners were brand new, as the usual Emmy winners had somewhat of a hard time. Since new shows like Glee and Modern Family were paired against each other, there were bound to be a few winners most weren't familiar with like "Breaking Bad." Established shows like "30 Rock" and "Lost" had no luck, while "Mad Men" was largely shut out until the inevitable Best Drama victory. Overall, the 2010 Emmy winners were a mix of old and new - and some were even surprising picks.
