Each year, the Webbys announce our Special Achievement Award winners to commemorate these Internet pioneers who embrace the Internet as the medium where they can take risks, experiment, and share new ideas. This year’s Webby Person of the Year is Jimmy Fallon.

Jimmy Fallon broke new ground this year by using the Internet to hone his late-night-hosting chops before the TV launch of his talk show. In the process, he became one of the most ardent online evangelists interacting with fans through his blog and Twitter, inviting feedback on his skits, and even hosting a contest that allowed fans to select the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon logo.
