The accusations were made to Rolling Stone magazine by 16 people who work or worked in the production of the NBC show, who criticized what they say was Jimmy Fallon’s “unpredictable behavior”, depending on his mood, and revealed that the dressing rooms were crowded. “Crying rooms.”
In this context, an anonymous source quoted by the BBC says, “Writing for the program is a dream for many people, and when they get here it quickly becomes a nightmare.”
“I feel bad, I’m sorry if I insulted you,” Jimmy Fallon apologized to his colleagues, via an online meeting. The comedian also said he wanted the show “to be fun and inclusive of everyone.”
The “Tonight Show” cast members claim they showed their dissatisfaction with HR, without resolving the problems. All sources interviewed by North America requested anonymity for fear of retaliation.
NBC said in a statement that it was “proud” of the program, adding that providing a “respectful work environment is a priority,” but that the problems “will be investigated and an appropriate decision will be made.”
Despite these accusations, not all team members are unhappy, with one worker stating that Jimmy Fallon is a “really positive” guy.
