Jimmy Fallon Does Elton John, Springsteen, Boyz II Men, and Green Day at Last Night's Emmys

If you were watching the exhibition game, True Blood, or the tons of other TV competition, the 2010 Emmys were also last night. Jimmy Fallon hosted, there were a lot of navy dresses on the red carpet, and George Clooney was there. Yadda, yadda, yadda.But we have a hunch that's...

If you were watching the exhibition game, True Blood, or the tons of other TV competition, the 2010 Emmys were also last night. Jimmy Fallon hosted, there were a lot of navy dresses on the red carpet, and George Clooney was there. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

But we have a hunch that's not really your scene. So in case you missed it, Jimmy Fallon also went on to imitate The Boss, Boyz II Men, and Green Day in a solo musical skit he performed. And all of them in under 4 minutes, dressed in an appropriate costume for each.

But not before helping the cast of Glee "raise money" to get tickets by helping them join a "regional glee club competition" as part of the opening skit. They need 10 people to compete, and start roping in people like Tina Fey, Jon Hamm, Jane Lynch, "Hurley" from Lost, and flat out diss Kate Gosselin before putting on a show performing Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run."

Check it all out after the jump.

Can you spot anyone else in the opening number? Warning: There's a bit of awkward sexual tension between a few of the people performing.
