Late-night comedian Jimmy Fallon reportedly apologized to his staff following a lengthy exposé in Rolling Stone alleging serious workplace abuse.
As Breitbart News reported, Rolling Stone interviewed “two current and 14 former employees, ranging from production crew members to office staffers to show writers,” who confirmed that The Tonight Show could be a “nightmare” place to work.
“Nobody told Jimmy, ‘No.’ Everybody walked on eggshells, especially showrunners,” one former employee told the magazine. “You never knew which Jimmy we were going to get and when he was going to throw a hissy fit. Look how many showrunners went so quickly. We know they didn’t last long.”
“It’s a bummer because it was my dream job,” said another former employee. “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.
