Despite Jimmy Fallon's Best Efforts, Twitter Doesn't Care About the Emmy Awards

Credit Jimmy Fallon for bringing his same sense of imagination to hosting the Emmy Awards that he does on a nightly basis to hosting The Late Show: In addition to the controversial Mad Men spoofs and an opening bit that may include Kate Gosselin (and hopefully another episode of "6-Bee") Fallon has announced that he's going to select 15 tweets from regular viewers to help introduce celebrity presenters like Jon Hamm, Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais and, hilariously, Laurence Fishburne. The only problem? No one cares.

Admittedly, the Emmys are still five days away, but where is everybody? According to the NBC website, each contestant must hashtag their entries with #imontheemmys, but a cursory search of Twitter reveals that -- as of now -- only eight tweets have been written... and five of those are by the same person.

Come on, guys and girls -- let's help Jimmy out a little bit. Seriously, how hard is this: "You know him from Space Cowboys and her from a Mutual Savings Bank commercial... here are Jon Hamm and Tina Fey!" Hop to it and give the host something to work with.
