Fallon to host awards show
NEW YORK -These days, comedian Jimmy Fallon is everywhere - the busy actor has landed on MTV. SNL, and even in People magazine.

You can'tturn on MTV without seeing Fallon singing and dancing in commercials for the MTV Video Music Awards, for which he is a host on Thursday night.
You also can't miss Fallon's own video for "Idiot Boyfriend," the first song off his debut comedy album, "The Bathroom Wall," which just happens to hit stores two days before the music awards. In it, Fallon, a product of '80s pop culture, spoofs videos ranging from Prince's "When Doves Cry" to Bobby Brown's "Every Little Step."
"Clearly we want this to be the
MTV and MTV2 president Van Toffler said the comedian was a natural choice for the music videos after he co-hosted the MTV Movie Awards last year with Kirsten Dunst.
last big bash of the summer, especially before the country takes on a very somber tone around the anniversary of Sept. 11, and Jimmy can be both insightful and funny and light and sincere," Toffler said.
Fallon also just finished shooting the Woody Allen movie Anything Else, with Jason Biggs and Christina Ricci, which is scheduled to come out next year.
Then there is his day job — really his night job — on "Saturday Night Live."
Born in Brooklyn and raised in Saugerties, N.Y., Fallon always dreamed of being a cast member on the late-night comedy show, and has every episode on tape since 1986.

But fame has made sleep a rarity lately, Fallon said. He recently went to a resort for a weekend, just to catch up on rest.
"I'm trying to keep it cool because this is, like, a crazy month. I've never been this — I don't know, what do you say? — this out there since I started on 'SNL,'" he said. "I'm on every bus, and billboards and phone booths. The first couple of days, I couldn't even see it. I was like, 'I can't look at it.'"
He also landed on People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" issue this year.
Reporter Danielle Dubin, who was on the panel that chose the list, said Fallon's allure lies in his sense of humor.
"He's sexy without being threatening. He's adorable," Dubin said. "He looks like the funny guy you went to high school with who all the girls had a crush on."
