It's official: "Late Night" host Jimmy Fallon will host the Emmy Award telecast August 29. It makes sense: this year, it's NBC's turn to host the show, so naturally, the network would reach out to one of its stars for the gig -- and Leno just got to host the White House Correspondents' Dinner, so he's had his turn in the sun. (And though "Community" star Joel McHale also has experience reading jokes off a Teleprompter, perhaps he hasn't been a member of the NBC family long enough to be considered for the Emmy honor. Or maybe, given how mean he has to be on "The Soup," executives were afraid he'd get trampled if a passel of Kardashians and Cyruses were to rush the stage.)

The point is, Fallon is a good choice, and one who comes to the job with a wealth of sketches that could be amazing when played to a bigger audience. After the jump, we've listed five of our favorites that deserve to be reinvented for the Emmys.

In the latest chapter of "Things That Make me Hugely Upset" and under the very broad category of "Ways America Punishes Kate Gosselin," last night's "Dancing With The Stars" sent the reality TV star home to her backup hair extensions, her book tour, her ample grudges, and her billions and billions of kids. To the trained eye and the Gosselin novice, it was not clear as to why Kate -- who was easily the worst dancer in this season's line-up and very possibly the worst dancer in the history of time -- wasn't kicked off right away. But America wanted to do that thing where a cat plays with a half-dead mouse it's about to kill, for what seems like forever.

But I, for one, only wish it had been forever. Because now that Gosselin is gone, I'm having a hard time conjuring up the motivation to keep watching "DWTS" for the remainder of the season. Sure, Niecy Nash is a treat and Pamela Anderson looks insane in the wigs they make her wear. But, for me, nothing beat the stiff, angry magic that was Kate Gosselin in high definition makeup, awkwardly grapevine-ing across that Hollywood stage week to week like she was a character in a mob-themed comedy film forced to blend in on a nightclub stage while gangsters hunted her down. In the above clip from "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Gosselin and her dance partner, the hugely patient Tony Dovolani, talk about the "DWTS" process, how "hard" dancing is (to say nothing of dancing and scowling at the same time!), and cleverly avoid any reference to Kate's very distracting hairdo, which seems to have tripled in size since she did that People magazine cover when she first got extensions. So farewell, sweet princess. I, for one, will grieve like it's my job, watching Kate's Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, & Week 4 dances over and over again on YouTube, along with Seal's "Kiss From A Rose." It's Phase 1 of the 12 stages of grief, and I'll let you know when I get to steps 2 through 12, which have more to do with having lots of babies with somebody more terrible than Kate.

Tonight, "Dancing With The Stars" will offer a new round of ballroom routines -- and not a moment too soon, because if you're anything like me, you've already worn out your DVR rewinding and playing Kate Gosselin's jaw-dropping "dance" to Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi," over and over again. Gosselin's performance (seen above) caused me to do something of which I didn't know I was capable -- not "laugh-gasping" until I need to step outside to get more oxygen into my palsied lungs, because I've actually done that before, when a cat fell in a toilet and some genius caught it on tape, then uploaded it to YouTube. No: watching Kate dance, as I did the previous week, when she stumbled her way through the jive, accomplished the unique feat of making me sorry for her. And that's never happened to me before; I feel like a robot who's just now learned to cry! If you haven't yet enjoyed Gosselin's Pasa Doble, nor Jimmy Fallon's very important parody from last week's "Late Night," check out the expression on her face in the clip above, as she holds up two mock-tabloids at the start of the number, then tries as hard as she can to act out the anger she feels at the paparazzi photographers that make her life a living hell -- and only because she insists on using her eight little kids as collateral damage in her relentless quest to be on television, constantly!

The judges referenced the appropriateness of her song choice with the frequency of somebody whose job it is to teach a phrase to a parrot, and indeed, Gosselin's choice to scowl her way through a song that's sort of about paparazzi photographers, but not really, was a predictable one. What's more, the tabloids this week, which ran stills of Kate in that red dress and insane eye makeup, retaliated with headlines that called her an "Out of Control Monster," which goes to show that when it comes to reality TV stars and tabloid coverage, there's no such thing as bad attention in either direction. But what if Kate's song choice became a trend, and the remaining contestants on this season's "DWTS" were to dance only to songs that best described their careers? After the jump, we name our picks for most appropriate song choices for the rest of the cast.

It is shaping up to be Kate Gosselin's year! Meaning so far, 2010 has proven divorce-free for Gosselin, seen above, and nobody has canceled any of the reality shows on which she stars. In fact, Kate still has America's attention (whether it's good or bad is irrelevant) because of her new hair extensions and her stint on "Dancing With The Stars." And what's more, she just got a new show! It's called "Twist of Kate," and it features other families who come to Kate Gosselin for advice. This concept may seem dubious given Kate's marital troubles last year, but the show DOES have a pun in its title, which means I am looking forward to smiling whenever I see it come up on my DVR! So in honor of "Twist of Kate," which comes to TLC this summer, check out some other reality show ideas that feature other famous Kates in reality shows that have punny titles -- after the jump.

With the nation still in the grip of March Madness, "The Daily Show" turned its investigative powers to the subject of basketball -- specifically, Don "Moose" Lewis, founder of an all-white basketball league. He...has some interesting ideas about the sport, and about life. Get a taste of his worldview above; the rest of last night's late-night highlights are after the jump.

TLC has signed up Kate Gosselin for a new reality series that will feature her "trying new things" without Jon or her brood, TheWrap.com reports. The reality star and her new litter of hair extensions has been reclaimed by the network "because they are worried if they don't do it with Kate, someone else will," according to a shady-sounding unnamed source.

The new show, which is slated to debut in late spring/early summer, will supposedly have an "interactive" factor in which viewers can suggest new challenges revolving around Kate trying various different professions. I'm picturing something kind of like "The Simple Life," only set on a farm for one week, then a restaurant the next, and perhaps a hardware store after that. I'm sure there will be plenty of fame-mongering businesses that would love to have her around. No fashion-related jobs, please, though -- for all our sakes.

The show is unnamed as of yet, but hopefully will be titled something like, "Kate For Hire," or "Working Mother of Eight," or "Jon Doesn't Pay Child Support." I'm going to make a totally wild prediction that the series ends with Kate getting "challenged" to host her own talk show, and then...she gets hired! Pure conjecture, though.

You know how Kate Gosselin is on the cover of People magazine this week, posing with hair extensions, even though her show has been canceled and nobody wants to think about her or her ex-husband anymore? Oh, you didn't know that? Well, that's to your credit because technically, it doesn't matter. But nobody got around to telling Jon Gosselin's ex-girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, about things that do and don't matter. Because if they had, she'd know that she was one of the things that didn't.

And yet, here is Hailey on "Entertainment Tonight," opining on Kate's appearance on the cover of People because somebody asked her what she thought. I didn't ask her what she thought, so put down that polo mallet, or at least redirect it. But after she went public with her opinion that Kate looks "really good," Glassman started yammering about other things nobody cares about, like her own hair color being brown now, and how she's trying to get "back into [her] old self," which doesn't mean anything.

So, there you have it. Another 'Aughts phenomenon that everybody tried really hard to leave in 2009 that hasn't gone away yet: The Gosselins and their collateral damage. But stand by, because the year is just getting started, and it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Last night, Barbara Walters' "10 Most Fascinating People of 2009" special aired on ABC. She is proud of her selections and calls it the most "provocative" group of people she's ever had. Watch the clip above from "The View" to hear her thoughts on her interview with the fifth most fascinating person, and click "continue reading" to see who else rounded out the list (but maybe shouldn't have).

Last night's series finale of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" was depressing in as many different ways as there are Gosselin children whose lives will be negatively affected by the public crumbling of their parents' marriage. That's right, it made me sad in eight different ways. At least!

It totally makes my head spin when pop culture goes full-circle like this. Speidi, what are you doing to my brain?! Apparently, the celebrity couple put an edge on their costume by hiring two extras to act as a TLC camera crew. Does this mean that they had MTV filming them pretending to be filmed? So meta...anyway, I wonder how much we would have to pay Jon and Kate to dress up as Heidi and Spencer. Jon would be easily bought, I'm sure; plus, he and Spencer have the same wardrobe, so it would be a piece of cake. Kate would demand more, for sure, but everyone has a price...
