The Primetime Emmys are still months away – the night of Sunday, August 29, to be exact – but the talk in Hollywood has already started swirling about who's going to host the show. An announcement is expected next week and since NBC is doing the broadcast, 'Late Night' host Jimmy Fallon is being mentioned prominently.

According to Entertainment Weekly, NBC has urged the TV Academy board to give Jimmy Fallon the thumbs up. Fallon's presence, the network contends, would appeal to a younger demographic. Terms like Twitter and Facebook have been thrown around to prop up the argument.

Having caught some of Fallon's 'Late Night' highlights lately, he would actually be a good choice. He's funny and creative and would bring something edgy to the proceedings. The only problem with Jimmy is that he's not really a big name.

Other stars, like '30 Rock's' Tina Fey and 'The Office's' Steve Carell, are. So is 'Park and Recreation's' Amy Poehler. Tina and Steve's pairing would be a re-teaming from their feature, 'Date Night,' and considering their ability to improvise, there's nothing on an Emmy broadcast that would throw them.

Amy has one obstacle in her path to hosting, however. She's due to delivery her second child within days of the Emmys, so she's out of the running.

'The Soup's' Joel McHale has an NBC connection thanks for 'Community.' He's probably on the same level as Jimmy, and equally as appealing to the younger demographic they claim they want to reach.

Who else could be considered? How about former host Ellen DeGeneres? Yes, she's on Fox now, but does the host have to be an NBC person?

What about Jon Stewart from 'The Daily Show' or Stephen Colbert? Craig Ferguson would be a hilarious, too. And if you really want to push the envelope, how about Kathy Griffin? What do you think? Send us your ideas in the comments.

By the way, nominations for the 62nd Primetime Emmy nominations will be announced Thursday, July 8, 2010.
