Jimmy Fallon issues apology to staff following bombshell report of toxic workplace, erratic behavior

“Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon apologized to his staff following a bombshell report alleging his NBC show made for a toxic and “nightmare” work environment.

“Sorry if I embarrassed you and your family and friends,” Fallon reportedly told staffers on a Thursday evening Zoom call. “I feel so bad, I can’t even tell you.”

The initial report, published by Rolling Stone Thursday morning, cited two current and 14 former employees, who painted a dark picture of life behind the scenes at “The Tonight Show,” which Fallon took over in 2014. The publication followed up with a report of Fallon’s apology later in the day.

“I want the show to be fun,” Fallon reportedly told employees on the Zoom call, which he led with showrunner Chris Miller. “[It] should be inclusive to everybody. It should be the best show.”
