One old favorite and one new kid on the block took top Emmy honors.
Mad Men won the outstanding drama series for the third consecutive year on Sunday night, while Modern Family was named outstanding comedy series.
Another freshman series, Glee, collected an award for Jane Lynch, who plays the scheming Sue Sylvester, as outstanding supporting actress in a comedy.
In a shout-out to the ensemble cast, she joked, "I love you. You're young and you're wonderful. You're fresh-faced, and when I'm not seething with jealousy, I'm so proud of you."
Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul nabbed outstanding supporting actor in a drama, while The Good Wife's Archie Panjabi picked up outstanding supporting actress in a drama. And The Closer's Kyra Sedgwick won outstanding leading actress in a drama after four previous nominations.
One exception: Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, who took home the outstanding actor in a drama trophy for the third consecutive year. Noting his esteemed fellow nominees, he expressed his gratitude. "I'm so humbled and amazed to be in your company," he said.
Edie Falco claimed outstanding actress in a comedy for Nurse Jackie and Jim Parsons, who won outstanding actor in a comedy for The Big Bang Theory.
In addition, the host recruited an A-list team – including Tina Fey, Gosselin, Jon Hamm and Betty White – for a zippy musical number. The group performed Bruce Springsteen's propulsive hit "Born to Run" after a short skit in which the Glee kids said they couldn't afford tickets to the awards show.
Gosselin, who famously earned low marks on DWTS, poked fun at herself, teasing with Fallon and his crew, "I can help [with the performance]; I'm a great dancer."

Kate Dances ... Again
