Bobby Miller, host of Indy Mogul’s fan favorite series Best Short Films in the World, has been locked in a head to head battle with none other than Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night videoblog for the Webby People’s Voice Award for Best Variety Show in a very competitive category that includes other shows we love like Epic Fu and Boing Boing TV.

Amazingly, for the past two weeks, Bobby’s been BEATING Jimmy by a couple of percentage points for the lead slot (it’s hovered around 34%-32%), by getting out the vote in a hilarious campaign on Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, among other places, called Don’t Let Jimmy Win. This is especially amazing, considering Jimmy has over 800,000 Twitter followers and an NBC late night talk show on his side.

This Thursday, Jimmy Fallon felt compelled to go on G4’s Attack of the Show to respond, and endorse Bobby to win the award. As Jimmy says, he deserves it. Check out the video below (the part about Bobby starts just at the two minute mark).

We love Jimmy (and his co-producer Gavin Purcell, formerly of AOTS) for being such class acts and nice guys for doing this, and I hope we can have Jimmy on Indy Mogul sometime to give him a special Best Guy in Showbiz award, especially if he helps us win.

That said: today is the last day of voting and we really need your vote. Please take the 5 minutes to register at pv.webbyawards.com and vote for The Best Short Films in the World in the Online Video section under Best Variety — and while you’re at it, you can vote for our other nominees, Indy Mogul, Barely Political, and Zaproot. Lots of other worthy shows like our friends at Epic Fu and Boing Boing also have multiple nominations, including in Bobby’s category, and if you vote for them, you’re voting against Jimmy, too.

It’s what Jimmy would want you to do.
