Jimmy Fallon Apologizes for Creating⁣ a “Toxic Work Environment”

“It’s embarrassing and I feel so bad. Sorry if I embarrassed you and your family and friends,” Fallon said during a Zoom meeting with The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon employees, Variety has learned. “I feel so bad‍ I can’t even tell you.” He told the staff ⁤during the meeting, which was said to be quick, “I want this show⁣ to be fun, it should be inclusive for everybody, it should be funny, it should be⁢ the best show, the best people.”

The report claimed two current and 14 former employees ⁣said the show’s working environment has been “far outside the boundaries”⁤ of what people consider high-pressure situations.

“It’s a bummer because it was my dream job,” one former employee said. “Writing for late night is a lot​ of people’s dream jobs, and they’re coming ⁢into this, and it becomes a nightmare very quickly. It’s sad that it’s like that, especially knowing that ‍it doesn’t have to be that way.”

Additionally, other anonymous sources claimed the toxic ‍environment behind-the-scenes began at the top, with Fallon showing constantly changing behavior, resulting in multiple changes in the ‌show’s leadership⁢ teams.

They claimed ⁢they were “belittled and intimidated” by their bosses, including Fallon.

Employees claimed one ​particular day in 2017, ‌Fallon stumbled through rehearsal and believed he was drunk when he forgot to cross out jokes on a sheet of paper.

However, despite ⁣multiple employees speaking up about their concerns, problems allegedly continued.

Multiple employees claimed they had “nightmares” about work and were in a “constant ​state of⁢ fear.”

“Mentally, I was in the lowest place of my⁣ life,” a former employee said. “I didn’t want to live anymore. I thought about taking my own life all the time. I knew deep down I would never actually⁢ do it, but in my head, ⁤I’m like, ‘Why do ⁢I think about‍ this all the time?”

However, according to the New‌ York Post the show’s behavior changed since the past year-and-a-half since new showrunner Chris Miller joined.

“There’s a new wave that came in ‌a year and a half ago and has just made everything change,” a producer told the‌ Post.

Rolling Stone reportedly ​contacted over 50 Tonight Show employees and over 30 former staffers.
