Jimmy Fallon’s heated exchange with Amy Poehler resurfaces amid toxic workplace claims

NBC didn’t want Jimmy Fallon to host Late Night at first.

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Comedy Central is going back to square one in its efforts to find a new host for “The Daily Show.” The Paramount Global cable network is considering a wider array of candidates to take the reins of the program from previous emcee Trevor Noah, according to people familiar with the matter, after having previously identified Hasan Minhaj as a leading possibility. The decision appears to come in the wake of a recent report in The New Yorker in which some of the supposedly autobiographical stories that Minhaj has used in his routines were found to be embellished. Comedy Central declined to comment, as did WME, the talent agency that represents Minhaj.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director According to Jerry Seinfeld, Rolling Stone’s recent exposé on Jimmy Fallon includes an “idiotic twisting of events.” The magazine published a report on Sept. 7 in which several former “Tonight Show” staff members claimed the series had a toxic work environment, which included alleged outbursts from Fallon himself. Two employees said they witnessed Fallon berate a crew member who was holding cue cards during a taping of the show with Seinfeld as a guest.

groveling apology to his “Tonight Show” staffers after reports surfaced of his toxic workplace behavior — but fans aren’t buying it.One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, pointed to a line the 48-year-old TV host allegedly said during the all-hands meeting: “It’s embarrassing and I feel so bad.”The commenter said the “apology sounds like it was spoken by a toddler.”“Why didn’t and couldn’t he apologize in person? I find the Zoom apology insulting,” another shared, while others chimed in that Fallon only said he was sorry “cause he got called out.”Fallon likely conducted his apology virtually, however, because of the ongoing Hollywood strike, which has shut down production for a slew of highly-anticipated movies and TV shows, including late-night talk shows.“Oh, f–k off. Fallon’s ‘apology’ is about how he was inconvenienced by the Rolling Stone article exposing him as a raging a–hole and nothing about apologizing to staff or saying how he will change,” another scathing comment said.Another user likened the saga to Ellen DeGeneres, who had her “Ellen Show” canceled in 2022 after a 19-year run following a flurry of toxic workplace allegations against the seemingly family-friendly talk show host.“The Jimmy Fallon saga is following EXACTLY the same footsteps that Ellen DeGeneres tread … accusations.

Following the release of a new Rolling Stone exposé, in which two current and 14 former staffers at “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” opened up about host Jimmy Fallon’s alleged erratic behaviour and the reported “toxic workplace” at the late-night show, multiple current producers and assistants at the show gave statements to ET saying that the article “misrepresents” their experiences in the same workplace.
