Fallon is Fab as Emmy Host
It’s all over but the hangovers from the afterparties and Ricky Gervais’ beer being served at the 62nd annual Primetime Emmy Awards. The host of this year’s Golden Globe Awards almost stole the show as a presenter with his line about Mel Gibson going through a lot lately, but not as much as the Jews. That was just one of the many inspired and funny moments during this year’s live coast-to-coast telecast, which will go down...

No real “suspends,” especially after that nasty on again/off again divorce and affair with his wife’s sister scandal, but “Larry King Live” will sign off this fall.
