In less than two years on the air, "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" had already begun collecting awards. In 2009, the show's website, latenightwithjimmyfallon.com, won both an Emmy Award and a Webby Award. The same year, Fallon himself received the "Webby Person of the Year" Award. In 2010, the show won its second consecutive Emmy for its website, as well as an Emmy for Short-Form Editing for the "Glee" parody "6-Bee." Most recently, the show's website earned its second Webby nomination.

Since its broadcast debut on March 2, 2009, "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" has created a huge online presence for itself with many of its popular segments, celebrity sketches and musical performances becoming viral hits. "Late Night" guests come to Fallon's studio 6B ready to play. Memorable moments include Fallon dressed as Neil Young in a parody of pop hit "Whip My Hair" with Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake joining Fallon for a musical melody through the "History of Rap," and Fallon and Paul McCartney singing a duet of "Yesterday" with the original lyrics in a performance of "Scrambled Eggs."

The show takes on a Christmas standard in the clip below, with a little help from Martin Short (who appeared on Broadway in THE GOODBYE GIRL, LITTLE ME and Martin Short: FAME BECOMES ME) and Jesse Eisenberg (who wrote and starred in Rattlestick's ASUNCION earlier this year). Check it out!
