Tuesday was a big day for three of my favorite celebrities:
– Jimmy Fallon (who I saw perform a few months back and is a great guy) was named as the host of this year’s Emmy Awards. I got to chat with him in his dressing room after the show, which was hysterical. He should be a great Emmy host.
– Kelsey Grammer (my favorite comic actor) picked-up a Tony nomination for for Leading Actor in a Musical for his performance in La Cage aux Folles. I’m seeing the show in June and hoping to meet Kelsey after the show.
– Last, but certainly, not least, Roger Ebert was named “Webby Person of the Year”, as the 2010 Webby Awards were announced. Roger has a fantastic blog and is the best contributor on Twitter. If you are a Twitter person and aren’t following @ebertchicago you’re really missing out.
Congratulations to all three. The 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards are August 29th. The 2010 Tony Awards are June 13 and the 14th Annual Webby Awards will be handed-out June 14.
