Jimmy Fallon did a funny auto-tune skit on the 2009 Emmy awards that made me look up from my laptop.

Watch the YouTube Video of Jimmy Fallon's autotune performance.

With a headset wrapped around his ears, mic at mouth, Jimmy Fallon got the Emmy crowd to clap their hands along with him -- then did a pratfall slip so slickly, it made me wonder if it was planned or not.

Pretty soon, everyone discovered it was, with Fallon's "Roll the nominess...ow...the nominees" command.

It's fun to get a real-time reaction from Twitter to see how Jane and Joe Public reacted to Jimmy Fallon's routine:
