The Funniest Moments Of The 2010 Emmy Awards (VIDEO)

Jimmy Fallon enlisted his friends to make this year's Emmy Awards one of the funniest award shows in recent memory. In the opening number, Jimmy brought together the cast of Glee, Tina Fey, Jon Hamm, Betty White, Jane Lynch, Joel McHale and more for an epic opening number. The all-star group performed "Born to Run," Glee style.





Everyone was waiting for the first Conan O'Brien joke, and Jimmy Fallon worked this one into his monologue early. Other than the Variety Show montage, this was the most Conan we got all night.

"NBC asked me to host a late-night show, and I thought, 'What could go wrong?' Too soon?"

After winning the awards for Best Supporting Actor (Eric Stonestreet), Best Writing (and later Best Comedy!) Modern Family showed the Emmy audience some of the changes they've explored for season two, including the addition of George Clooney as Claire new husband.





In a tribute to shows that have passed away this year, Jimmy Fallon says goodbye to 24, Law & Order and Lost as Elton John, Boyz II Men and Billie Joe Armstrong, respectively. He couldn't work Neil Young in there?





The hands-down joke of night belonged to Ricky Gervais, who delivered this gem before distributing beer to the audience.

"Mel Gibson's been through a lot. Not as much as the Jews."

Why on earth did they not get Courtney Cox to come out of the audience in the Bruce song? I know it should be Dancing in the Dark, but that dancing was iconic.

Ok, does there really need to be a commercial on every clip?

No doubt about Gervais. That was comic gold.

Did you guys see when the waiters were passing out the beers, and Matthew Perry declined? Good to know he's still on the wagon.

I enjoyed the show, and I thought Fallon did a great job! Ricky Gervais makes me laugh hard every time I see him (which isn't enough); it's especially funny when celebrities poke fun at themselves (which happened a lot on Sunday); and everyone there seemed to have a wonderful time (I wish I was there with them). I realize I'm a "glass-half-full" kind of person, but why all the hate? It's television -- you could turn it off and read a book if you don't like it. Instead, you watch it and then do nothing but complain about how you spent your evening.

Why did Fallon stop the "Girls of New York" skits on his show??? Now THAT was funny. I guess it took too much effort....

Yes, and for the life of me, it just was not funny. Jimmy Fallon's been better, to me.

Fallon's nauseating. As Carson said about Chevy Chase, "He couldn't ad lib a f*rt after a baked bean dinner.

Interesting quote from a man whose sense of humor expired in 1973.

Well done. Kim K. even came off funny - and in tune!

I've grown to enjoy Jimmy Fallon more and more as I've watched him grow on his late night show. I loved him on SNL and I think he has finally hit his stride as a talk show host.

I loved the stuff he did last night.
