Jimmy Fallon, the host of the Tonight Show, has recently addressed claims of 'erratic behaviour' and a 'toxic work environment' behind the scenes. Former employees have reported feeling confused and even bullied by the host and showrunners.
In a Zoom call with staff, Fallon apologized for any embarrassment he may have caused, saying “I feel so bad I can’t even tell you.” He also expressed his desire for the show to be “fun, inclusive, and funny”.
Two employees who joined the Zoom call said Fallon’s apology “felt pretty earnest”. However, Jerry Seinfeld, who is reported to have witnessed one of the incidents, has since called the allegations “stupid”.
The claims have left a lasting impact on staff, with some employees even considering taking their own life. Employees have reported feeling that they have no protection when voicing concerns and that they should be “grateful” for their job.
NBC has released a statement claiming they take “providing a respectful working environment” seriously, and encouraging employees to report any issues. Fallon has yet to make a public statement and the Tonight Show has temporarily gone off air due to the ongoing WGA strike.
