While late-night host Jimmy Fallon has been off-air amid Hollywood’s actors and writers strikes, some of his staff members are speaking out about what they say is a toxic workplace culture behind “The Tonight Show.”
In a Rolling Stone investigation published Thursday, two current and 14 former employees of the NBC talk show say their experiences working on the show included declining mental health, intimidation from higher-ups, including the 48-year-old Fallon, and poor treatment because of Fallon’s erratic behavior.
The staffers, whose jobs ranged from production crew to office employees and writers, all requested anonymity out of fear of retaliation.
Of the more than 80 “Tonight Show” employees, past and present, who were contacted, no one who spoke with Rolling Stone senior entertainment reporter Krystie Lee Yandoli “agreed to speak on the record or had positive things to say about working on The Tonight Show.”
Still, “many of them praised Fallon’s immense talent and comedic gifts.”

Deliver my newspapers and magazine 😂 walton 😂
Would there be a state of Israel without Hitler & Jimmy Fallon? 🖕
Lol. The article is just about the workers feelings. They didn't say anything specifically that happened to them. I guess stress = toxic now.
Rolling Stone is now a bird cage liner…Duke U. anyone?
Not surprising, he just gives off toxic vibes.
Are we really surprised by this. Yah know how things go to their heads in that fake world but in the real world they won't even try.
Tell me any workplace where nobody complains.
toxic.. I believe people who use "toxic" terminology are actually toxic. What a stupidity.
Looks like the Hollywood elites are starting to eat each other.
Hate Criminals bigots a monster of hate a criminal to humanity and the children that work for him bigots years Jimmy Fallon it's a monster and the criminal of network television industry hate 0:20
wow amazing video💝💝💝💝
Interview with the Jimmy Fallon, please! Ideas for discussion? Many new deposits of oil and natural gas have been discovered around the world, some of which have already begun production. Therefore, world prices for oil and natural gas will soon fall very low! (Turkey, the Mangistau region, the Taz field, the Norwegian Goliath, the Pechora Sea, the Chayandin field, China, Belarus and other new fields will bring down world prices!) This will be a global geopolitical and economic cataclysm. Shares of oil and gas companies will become very cheap! In addition to this, the weak Biden administration is unwilling or unable to force the CIA to make a pro-American revolution in India, then to rob India in the interests of the American economy! (And quarrel India with China and other neighbors in the interests of the United States.) Although India has many conditions for a revolution: mass poverty, corruption, contradictions with neighboring states (which could help organize the Indian revolution), and numerous ethnic conflicts. Moreover, there is a large Indian diaspora in the US to consult on the organization and recruitment of volunteers for the revolution in India! But the Democratic Party is shy about asserting American world domination in India. Although the USA is the Greatest Nation and the Freest Country, the Chief World Teacher and Ruler. Therefore, employees of the American CIA and the State Department in foreign countries should behave like James Bond. Why should they be ashamed of American Greatness and World Domination? The US came up with the idea to manage the BRICS through high-ranking (rich and influential) pro-American agents in Russia, which other BRICS member states did not see. Not even blind Russian counterintelligence is rounding up the richest and most powerful federal pro-American agents in Russia in Moscow! The Russian FSB is under the complete control of the American State Department and the CIA through numerous agents of influence (especially at the top of the hierarchy). So not only in Russia! Therefore, the United States needs a new law to punish those employees of the CIA and the State Department who are embarrassed to behave defiantly and confidently, like James Bond. (The USSR no longer exists!) The romance of James Bond followers in Great America is the best advertisement for attracting new employees to the CIA and the US State Department! (To be shy is not the business of Great Americans!) Americans who have a hobby of breaking glass with stones should also have the right to self-realization of their hobby. To do this, the USA needs to legalize the Glass Breaking Festival! (Or would it be better to call it "Walpurgis Night" if the Festival is at night?) According to the new American, there should be installation of windows and other glassware at the festival site so that visitors who have bought tickets can break the glass with stones. (Legal vandalism, according to the same scheme it is possible to make Festivals of Torn Paper, Shot Signs, Broken Toys, Scorched Huts, Broken Cars and others.) So the USA will give a legal opportunity for self-realization to the now oppressed lovers of this hobby, increase tax revenues and the economy of Great America! (There is an opportunity to collect donations for those Festivals in the US.) But the American pro-Democratic human rights activists, feminists, the Democratic Party and the media are silent about all this. Americans, Vote Republican! The world is changing, so American legislation must also change to adapt the United States to changing conditions. You can punish the Democratic Party by investing in the projects of the Donald Trump clan! (You can find some in the link on my channel page.) You can relax by watching the BBC or the Guardian – for example, through the links on my channel. Don't forget to come out and rally in support of the oppressed Legendary Defender and Great Leader of the American Nation Donald Trump! Your support for Donald Trump will help him defeat the sinister intrigues and bogus accusations of the Democrats. All accusations of the Democrats against Trump will gradually crumble to dust in the courts! Moreover, he has not yet initiated a review of the Butina case in an American court, although Donald Trump can do this with the help of his lawyers by remotely questioning Maria Butina in another case in order to preserve testimony in court. After that, Trump can give Butina the lawyers he pays for Maria to file a lawsuit in an American court to review her case! The Butina case was an attempt to torpedo Trump, but the torpedo of "Russian intervention" missed. Trump's lawyers haven't told Donald to do it yet! The American Democrats didn't think of revisiting the Butina case earlier to blame "Russian interference in the American election for Trump" for initiating the fake Butina case, so that ball went to the Republicans. (The Democratic Party missed the opportunity to justify itself in the Butina retrial.) In addition, the Democratic Party did not defend the transgender Helen, who was beaten by a homophobe in Ukraine! (The Biden administration and the Democratic Party did not say anything to Ukrainian President Zelensky about this violation of the rights of transgender people.) Therefore, LGBT + people can no longer hope that the Democrats will protect their rights around the world (The weak Democratic Party is already condoning adult homophobes even in the USA, for example in California !). Moreover, the Biden administration orchestrated the use of biological weapons against farm cows in Kansas, as a result of which three thousand American cows have already died! To vote for the Democrats is to vote for new losses for Americans. Therefore, American farmers and LGBT + better vote for Republicans who are able to protect their rights! In addition to this, Joe Biden's dog bit seven presidential guards (employees of the US Secret Service), although the guards tried to hide information about it. Will Joe Biden be impeached in 2023 or will there be a fake American presidential election in 2024? Fraudulent elections are not elections, but appointments through deception of the American voters! According to the law, these are two different ways for candidates to come to power. But it's time to talk about something else! The US government and parliament are still not tolerant enough (with the connivance of the US Democratic Party, LGBT+ communities, feminists, human rights activists and their media, Hollywood and bloggers). The USA has legalized same-sex marriages, but the "Swedish" family is still not legalized in Great America! Why is there such discrimination against the “Swedish family” in the USA? This is another reason to impeach Biden. USA is the Land of Freedom in Law! Although I suspect that the American Constitution and the Bill of Rights were effectively repealed back in the days of McCarthyism or even the Salem Witch Hunt in legal enforcement. (Legal precedents!) Just as today's Russian regime has trampled on and repealed the Russian Constitution and Legality by many years of violations of Russian laws at the municipal, regional and federal levels with the constant connivance of the Russian Nation, Police, Guards, Prosecutor's Offices, Courts, Army, Deputies, Government and Presidents ! (That is to say, the Putin regime has revoked its own legitimacy, which is why Russia has been living Out of the Law for many years now, with the Law being used only against protesting oppositionists to keep obedience and collect tribute from the Kremlin-occupied Russian Nation.) For example, we can recall numerous fake court verdicts and elections, legal conflicts, many anti-constitutional laws, "unsinkable" law breakers in Russia. The ruling mafia of Russia (and the interests of this mafia) are above Russian laws! The forced obedience of Russians to their ruling mafia finally "legitimizes" lawlessness in Russia. Therefore, the US could easily remove a bunch of arrogant deceitful invaders, murderers, looters, thieves and robbers called "Putin's regime" from ruling Russia if desired! (These invaders betrayed and destroyed their USSR for the personal gain of this mafia!) It would be much more economical than sponsoring Zelensky's equally illegal Ukrainian regime. Do American taxpayers want to support Democratic budget spenders? Perhaps the Russian Nation has become very stupid since the Soviet era, as it tolerates the rule of Putin's invaders. But should the American Nation endlessly, weak-willed, stupid and cowardly endure the ruling Democrats and their budgetary squandering? The massive impeachment of the Democrats will cost the USA much less than the continuation of their rule! Liberating the United States must begin with the impeachment of Joe Biden. We are waiting for debates…
everyone wearing a mask. wondering what's coming next
Can’t totally blame jimmy. Hollywood taken over by Saudi.
Show me the part where he apologized.
Hmmph
Wow so is this the former employee going after employer era!? First Lizzo now Fallon ? Hmmmm idk
He sucks. Nobody watches him and he’s not at all funny. All the late night talk show hosts are awful.
I always disliked Fallon's forced humor.. he is no Jay Leno. He is a straight Ellen Degeneres..and will get his due.
The trump curse strikes again, they all will fall from grace.
He should apologize for being the worst talk show host ever.
I don't believe it
He's right up there with Bill Cosby
