- Rolling Stone reporter Krystie Lee Yandoli, who reported on allegations of a toxic workplace at Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show,” speaks with CNN’s Abby Phillip about the host’s apology to staff.
#CNN #News
No excuses for Fallon, but there's no way the network didn't know what was going on, if employees complained to HR multiple times over the years they should have handled the issue with Fallons behavior or cut him loose. But like some many other places, if the guy makes the network enough money, they're willing to look the other way on ask kinds of bad behavior.
👍🏻
sad that one person gets away with so much and damages everyone fallon included
That goes for pretty much any business.
NBC for both Matt Lauer and Fallon. See the connection here?
NBC Universal knew he was drinking.
His apologies are as real as his laughter during performances
Church. His inauthenticity is so obvious, it feels gross and kinda creepish. And that was before...
Omg he's such a FAKE !!
😂
Number 1 reason why I can't watch that guy.. the fake laughs are cringy and uncalled for.
I noticed that fake laugh too
HOLY SH!T I KNEW IT!!!!!! I was an audience member years ago and I left there feeling WEIRD. He was nothing like how he is on TV… when the cameras were on, his smile was on-- but when they were not on he was completely different. His behavior changed to very serious, bothered and bored and just looked like he hated being there…. It was seriously weird!!
Yup.
As Spock would say: "Interesting, Captain..."
Sounds like some type of substance abuse then.
I'm not apologizing for any bad behavior, but he must have been under massive stress!
Saw Maria Bartiromo in her pre-Fox days working with her crew as they set up for an interview that was to be before an audience. She was nasty and self centered, not a "tough interviewer" but instead an entitled person who used her power position to belittle everyone on her crew. She was perfectly pleasant when the interview started.
All the more reason for Craig Ferguson to come back to Late Show TV. He's the GOAT!
No, Conan is the goat.
I hate to say I never appreciated Craig Ferguson when he was doing his show. But I’ve been watching his old shows on UA-cam and you’re right. I think he was one of the best late night talk show hosts since (early days) David Letterman.
Craig was unique
Craig is HILARIOUS! Loved his show and saw him in concert.
I love it when people apologize after they’ve been outed in the press.
How many people apologize entirely on their own, unprompted by anything but their own introspection? Isn't there usually an external wake up call be it one person or the worldwide press?
@@user-kd3ic2xd5x 😆😆😆
first he apologized as a real human does and sometimes people do not realize they are a certain way until it is brought to their attention and I don't believe these allegations, anything to make a good celebrity look bad, you weren't there so you don't know if this is actually true just anything to make a story. this headline wasn't anything to even make a story out of it was pathetic.
If a tree falls in the forest....
He apologized to his people instead of going on the internet and posting it. If moving the goal post was a person 😂
This can happen when you have such wealth & get comfortable in your bubble.
Agreed
Nonsense!
Correct.
It comes through trying to maintain at the top. Alcohol dependence is a coping mechanism that rarely works out good. It sounds like he needed an intervention and not just to be coddled by the execs.
Having people write your jokes and criticizing them for those jokes not being funny to you is the funniest thing I’ve heard. All he does is laugh uncontrollably throughout his show and mooches off the writers hard work
Fake forced laugh, never bought it
Correct.
Ditto..I always saw his fake forced laugh and quit watching...
😂😂
Criticizing the jokes would weed out the bad ones. Isn't that his job? I suppose how you criticize them makes a difference, but what exactly did he do?
A few things,
#1: why didn't he apologize for his behavior before the report became public knowledge?!
#2: why did he say "Sorry 'if' I embarrassed..."; he did, so there is NO if?!
#3: maybe a point of my taste, I grew tired of the Tonight Show several years ago, as it seemed to be juvenile, and refused to allow guest to be truly interviewed. It was more about Mr. Fallon talking about himself and getting praise from his guest.
#4: if a female such as Ellen DeGeneres can be forced off the air for her behind-the-scenes conduct, should it be the same for a male?!
Just some thoughts...
And here I actually thought that Fallon's ONE redeeming quality was that he was an OK guy. Just a reminder that they picked Fallon over Conan, universally recognized as one of the kindest, nicest guys in show business, not to mention ten-thousand times funnier and smarter.
Let’s not forget that the constant “laugh” of JFallon is practiced and is a well studied feature that he sputters to shield him and keep him a likable person…
Never trust actors.
They're... acting.
@@MoreTubContentOnMyChannel Exactly! We dont know any of these showbiz people. And just like all the rest of us they have secrets and issues. Perhaps Fred Rogers was the exception. 😅

Liberals...
Any company, business or outfit with a high employee turnover is managed by bad people; they'll always blame the employees instead of the owner or managers.
My Mom
It's not necessarily true that any company with a high employee turnover is managed by "bad" people. Employee turnover can be influenced by various factors, and it's important to consider a range of possibilities before making such a judgment.
Employee turnover can result from several factors, including:
Market Conditions: In some industries or during economic downturns, high turnover can be common, even in well-managed companies. Market factors may lead to layoffs or reduced job security.
Company Culture: A toxic or unpleasant workplace culture can drive employees away, regardless of the management's intentions. Poor leadership or inadequate HR practices can contribute to this.
Job Fit: Sometimes, employees leave because the job isn't the right fit for their skills or interests, even if the company is well-managed.
Career Growth: Employees may seek new opportunities for career growth or advancement, which might not be available within their current organization.
Compensation and Benefits: Competitive compensation and benefits packages can be essential in retaining employees. If a company can't offer these, employees may leave for better offers elsewhere.
Management Practices: While it's true that poor management practices can contribute to high turnover, not all managers or owners will necessarily blame employees. Some take responsibility and work to improve retention.
It's essential to assess the specific circumstances of a company before making sweeping judgments about its management or employees. High turnover can be a sign of various issues, and addressing those issues effectively is crucial for improving retention and overall company performance.
Tell your mom to do her research.
Your mom.
Accurate 👍🏿
It's the work environment. Not Jimmy. If he gets cancelled, I hope he exposes everyone on the show and the network. Anytime you work for big corporation or a big business it's always some bullsh!t
Although TOTALLY off subject of Fallon but speaking of high turn overs? Almost every cell phone store is that way. I never see any structure there. Jimmy's show Def. has structure and in that case...the top of the pyramid must be help accountable. That's why they get the big bucks.
I find it hard for all these celebrities to be this out of touch w the work environment they have created.
An apology is worth something Imo, but maybe coming back down from their heads in the sky would be helpful before it gets that bad?
In my experience, most of the people claiming "toxic workplace" are incompetent and/or emotionally unstable individuals.
And what experience do you have? My opinion: they're the ones with the balls to whistleblow.
You most likely need more experience.
@@garrybaldy327It doesn't take balls to run off scurrying to some reporter LMAO. It takes balls to actually say it to the person's face, doy.
Lol I have a lot of direct reports and none of them claim toxic environment, because the environment isn’t toxic. It’s super easy. You sound like a toxic boss.
Or they have the courage to actually speak up about their experiences, but victim blaming is easier, I guess.
The apology is earnest because he knows he's on the same path as Ellen.
Exactly 💯
It never changes..
Happens every time
@@sharingtherealworld People lose their jobs everyday. Something else was going on with that guy.
Correct.
@@EnronnSierratotally. Illuminati puppet.
Except unlike Ellen, I think he will be more redeemable. Ellen’s problem was that it was purely her ego and not due to substance abuse. Sounds like Jimmy is an alcoholic or drug user maybe. Those things can be redeemed easier because addiction garners more sympathy than just being an awful person ever will.
Goes to show that although someone can consistently appear totally put together in public, their true nature is quite often very toxic.
@namelastname-qg6qw The comment applies to anyone, but damn...
Based on what? Some people don't like their job?
that super fake smile never lied... i saw it back then, and now we all see it..
@namelastname-qg6qw ???
It is because oftentimes what makes them seem put together is a flaw.
I'm 74 and I had multiple bosses in my working career (those with no education, BAs, MAs, PhDs, MDs). Some loved me and gave me great reviews. Others did not like me and gave me terrible reviews. One of my worst reviews came from a very mean woman. She later supervised an employee of the year. That employee collapsed from the stress of working with that boss. It would be interesting to see who thought he was a terrible, toxic boss. What were they like? It should be noted that he stopped his show with the writer's strike.
Are you victim blaming?
@@NuiYabuko Just need more information. No information on those who did the accusations. There are always flaky people at jobs. Get more info on them. THEN make a decision.
@@humblecourageous3919 Women could be meaner than men when it comes to jobs
@@NuiYabukoThere’s nothing like anonymous accusations….
@@18890426 Very true.
Good rule of thumb: whenever a public-facing person's entire brand is built around how unfailingly nice they are, run like hell.
I knew there was a reason why I never liked Fallon! He gave me Ellen vibes! The overly excited, pretend to be happy, corny mofos! Never trust those pendejos !
OK. What did Ellen do? I've read lots of stories, but there was never a there, there, as to her supposed cruelty.
Always got a phoney vibe from this guy. I know he thinks highly of himself but it never worked for me. Hey, to each their own though. He clearly has many fans, I’m just not one.
He's two faced 😮
Yes, fake af
Correct!
All this time we could’ve had Conan o Brian as late night
@namelastname-qg6qw Neither is Fallon. Go and be anti Semitic somewhere else.
@namelastname-qg6qw Okay racist.
He went to Harvard so I don't think it would have been any different.
Conan is far funnier
Well it's true.@@redrick8900
Years and years ago I worked at Rolling Stone, which back then was about as toxic as you could get. Hoping much better now.
Everywhere I have worked is toxic. I'm 50. When people say they act like a 12 yr old that would actually be better. In grammar school, high school and college everyone was pretty respectful to each other than adult world. The level of toxic working is insane. Unbelievable. It's not just celebrities. Big babies everywhere
I love seeing this trend. This should be a wake-up call to ALL employers. Toxic work environments need to be eradicated in the free world. I'm shocked to see the amount of comments taking the side of the company here, as I am sure most of us have felt the negative implications of working under such conditions. We can do better in America. Never stop fighting for worker's rights. Expecting a positive work environment is NOT asking too much!
Or maybe they’re just a bunch of cupcakes.
The real world isn't one big liberal arts college campus.
Some people like work environments where you don't have to be so PC. And they have the right to exist. We can't just exclude "toxic" people from our society and economy, they're people too. You're just a bigot.
Yes it should be a wake-up call. But as long as there is a free roaming Trump pretending to be a role model you shouldn't be shocked? Americans voted for PeeOTUS Trump, a notorious liar, a misogynist, PooTin's buddy, Taliban's buddy, a traitor, a thief, an agitator, an insurrectionist and the worst employer in the White House and the USA.
But there’s no specific alligation except that he’s “toxic“. And the media is running with it because it’s a good story but there’s no sexual misconduct alleged there’s no illegal action alleged.
We’re creating a world where anybody can get together with a few other people and completely destroy someone’s reputation. I don’t even like Jimmy Fallon but I just find this very dystopian
Many people who are doing world-changing work do it without toxicity. Why is a mediocre TV host treating people so badly? And feel free to remove “mediocre” from that question. It still works.
There is no evidence he did anything bad. Work place toxicity is asbestos raining from the ceiling. This metaphor is millennial BS.
Because he is mediocre. The only bit of his that I like is when he "Slow Jams the News" with celebrities. I've always got a kiss ass vibe from him otherwise.
I wouldn’t call Jimmy mediocre, but I am not surprised.
Because what he does is not world changing. He's been lifted up to great heights by the people who watch him. He is mediocre but thinks he's one of the untouchable elite, which creates the mentality of king and serf.
I have heard that some comedians actually suffer from depression and mood disorders
Sad to hear this. Seemed like a genuinely good bloke.
Wow! The guy was paying writer's out of his own pocket during writer's strike, something's up with the story and this reporter! Her face and tone said it all when Abby asked about the staff that didn't have anything negative to say🤔
She has done hit pieces on two other shows, including the Kelly Clarkson Show. Seem like she's trying to build a career off of "exposing" celebs and allegedly-toxic workplaces.
No he wasn't. You are thinking about Conan. Jimmy must be paying people to write in the comments.
Rolling Stone was also paid by Amber Heard’s PR firm to write articles lying about the courtcase she lost against Johnny Depp. They’ve run several articles claiming Amber is the victim instead of the perpetrator of domestic abuse.
People said he was a talented comedian? I think that is the most shocking thing in the entire report. He's like the Applebee's of late night.
Haha Applebee's 👍🏻
Ouch!
Totally the Applebees of late night. The roots band is the only good part of the show.
Owie!
Apart from a boyish silliness there’s mo reason he should be a household name
I don’t dislike him but he’s clearly a child
oh my god that upward inflection in her voice is grating.
Very. Valley girl accent.
She's condescending. I'm having mental health issues from listening to her. Lol😂
PTSD Post Tonight Show Disorder
It's the uppity in her lol
Very Valley. With a bit of vocal fry.
There was a time when this kind of behavior was commonplace. Stars get away with a lot of bad behavior. 🤷🏼♀️
SMH. People are like tomatoes, they're too soft.
Omg...what a VALLEY GIRL...LIKE FOR REAL
She would make a valley girl cringe, Thanks for calling it out!
sounds like blondie just left Happy hour 😂😂😂😂
I get the feeling when Tonight Show comes back on the air, it's gonna have a new host
That's what happens when you work at NBC
As long as he wasn't sexually harassing them I have no quarrels about his actions! Ppl so soft nowadays! SMDH
So you have no quarrels with people being screamed at or insulted by a boss? That's how you want to be treated at work?
@@KingoftheJuice18 No one likes being treated like that, but people sometimes become fierce in the process of working...
@@user-ts2eu6rf6i Bosses need to be especially careful because of the power differential. A good manager doesn't need to be "fierce."
Could Never understand How he calls .. every guest his favorite person...😮.. that's a lot of favorites... LOL 😂 😆
@maxlinder5262 He is the most insincere talk show host that you can find. He fools nobody.
Insincere and fake. Let’s hope his apology isn’t.
His job to stroke people’s egos for views and he helps promote them which helps promote himself.
If you act like a diva and treat your employees badly it's time to apologize AND retire. Let someone else take over. There is no excuse for that bs.
I heard things like this about him back during the time he injured his finger.
It's a high pressure high stress environment and everyone has good and bad days. The question is Jimmy always like this or does he just have bad days?
Thank you for having the only nuanced comment. I tip my hat
Still doesn´t justify him for being an asshat to the staff. Period.
@@augart89 Why? You have never been angry in your entire life? May he/she who has never yelled at another person cast the first stone.
@@OperationDx1 so who are you? A personal assistant of his or what? Shut the fuck up, honest. Anger does not justify disrespect.
I just think back to how Jimmy Fallon pranked Taylor Swift vs how Ellen Degeneres did it.
Ellen would constantly jumpscare Taylor. Jimmy received a video from Taylor's mom. (the one where she cried about a banana or something? 😅) Or when Dakota Johnson was their guest. Dakota called out Ellen for lying, Dakota told Fallon to "let her talk". Clearly one is nicer than the other.
Idk, to me it looked like the only bad things they could say about Fallon was his awful delivery, his drinking and the allegedly fake laughs. I'm like, _wait that's it?_ He sucks as a host so he's a bad guy- HUH? After what happened to Johnny Depp I became wary of accusations like these, idk why ppl are still so knee jerk about accusations without solid proof.
I was waiting for that Rolling Stone reporter to ask to "speak with a manager" the entire time.
Lol
So....like...really? Her speech hearkens back to the Valley Girl days of 1982.
What?
I wish I had a nickle for every senior manager who leaned on staff in a bid to outsource the team or slide their pal in after we quit, cover up their mistakes, you name it. Cocktails at work? Shocking. You gotta be ready for these types of people. Part of a group that gets yelled at for not keeping things together or on track? Welcome to the world.
Back in the 70s we drank gin in the parking lot on lunch breaks.
When we drank at work, there were fewer shootings
Most annoying reporter voice ever.😂 Every statement posed as a question.
So some people said some stuff, they don’t know what, Jimmy apologized for some stuff, nothing specific, and nobody knows anything. Solid story
Par for the Course for CNN
Lol
Its CNN this happens everyday in businesses all over the place. This is just to get people to focus on something else other than Bidens corrupt bs.
cnn - I talked to random people who said something so its true because they said it and it makes it true because... just because.
couldnt even drop a name. all anonymous. 😂 how can we know this wasnt fabricated?
Dude needs to be Fired. Most annoying person on TV. Haven't been able to watch the iconic tonight show since the guy took over. And that FAKE laughter he always does, drives me nuts!
The fake laughter and the always saying "That's what I'm talking about". 🤮
Key word. “Alleged.”
He apologized. So it seems to be more than ‘alleged’.
SO!! We are supposed to think that tv personalities are not supposed to have bad days. Get a grip people
A person willing to stand back and see how their actions can effect others is a person willing to try forgiving.

Okay but curious how there is no such reporting and uproar about toxic environments in the corporate "business" world. Interesting how people only care when it's in one industry. Is this a jealousy thing?
If we saw people from the business world on a regular basis, it might be a bit different.
People feel some sort of ownership over celebrities because they entertain us, make us laugh, and otherwise let us escape our own lives for a period of time. When they are shown to have flaws, people feel betrayed because they've given up a portion of their life watching the celebrity only to find out they're not who they thought.
Exactly! I feel people have become too sensitive or lacking grit.
The term toxic work environment is too subjective...some people call a competitive work environment a toxic work environment.
Haven’t read the Rolling Stone article, but based on several decades of film and television work experience, I don’t buy the way this is being presented. Jimmy Fallon may have acted and done all of the things alleged, but it would have been in a very limited circle of elite producers, writers, and “handlers” who always are there happily placing them selves in a position of power by surrounding the “star” and demanding that all communication to and from that person filters through them. Those people are EQUALLY responsible for the “toxic” work environment in every way, because, at the very least, they are the ones disseminating it to department heads and production staff. It would be unprecedented to think that Jimmy Fallon was day to day directly managing or supervising any of them.
I'm not clear about what you're saying. What I do know is that it's entirely possible that a host can present one thing on camera, and an entirely different thing off. It's not about other people, such as producers. Kimmel is himself. Gracious and funnty. That's all there needs to be. Fallon is over the top and fake with his constant hysterics over the slightest funny thing, and he "loves" everything a celeb talks about. Why do they think people want to watch this?
These claims were happening long time ago. It’s a shame he’s just apologizing. Makes me wonder why ppl in this position grow an ego that doesn’t fit through the door.
They get too big for their britches and forget who they are. If People could just remember who they are instead of who they think they are. The world would be a better place.
Their ego outgrows their talent!
Some of it is how they handle fame too.
Every toxic workplace environment starts at the top. He chose a toxic show runner that reflected his values, he goes on to apologize but keeps the toxic show runner on board. So he doesn't plan to change anything.
Poison is toxic, not bosses that yell.
This is way more than that. Go back to verbally harassing your employees, sir. 🤪
@@courtneyawalsh You don't know what harassing is.
It's not good enough. NBC Universal needs to be punished for fostering/encouraging/protecting such hostile workplace environments. People at the top need to be fired, the company fined at a substantial level an outside agent should be appointed to review all complaints of mistreatment and, should any criminal acts have taken place, they need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. "I'm sorry, let's forget about the whole thing" doesn't cut it.
That one person that like working with Jimmy was really Jimmy Fallon.
Seth Myers had better writers, never found Fallon funny, his humour always seemed forced and fake to me.
Totally agree.
Seth is lot more natural while Fallon's interviews are exaggerated and uncomfortable to watch.
Like someone who is not totally at ease with himself.
The guy with the fakest laugh ever? Not surprised
There's a lot of verbal and mental abuse going on in TV shows. I think the problem starts at the very top. Remember, NBC has been sold and bought many times by different corporations whose interests are purely financial, not necessarily entertainment or newsworthy. I worked in a film years ago and one of the executive producers came from tv and had the habit of screaming and belittling people in front of other coworkers. He tried it with me once and after the third word I put him in his place in front of everyone and sent him to eat a toilet full of ... It never happened again. Once my contract was done, I went to work for another production company that was not so trailer trash with money. And, I think that is one of the issues in American society. The great thing is that you don't have be "royalty" to make it. You can make it if you work hard and know the right people. However, many people have zero class. I usually invite people for dinner to see if they can eat properly with a fork and a knife to get an idea of the type of work environment we're gonna have. Most Americans don't know how to properly use them.
interesting test. I think you make a good point about the corporate mentality. I work in retail and often there is very little incentive given to employees at some of these companies, despite the fact that they are what make the company money. But like you say, it starts at the top. My rental complex was once owned by a company that was very customer friendly and had "customer appreciation month" every year, with bbqs, games and a chance for neighbors to get to know each other. I was only able to attend a few, but things changed when they were bought out by another company. The new company was efficient but not as customer accessible. They moved the property office to another location and changed the management structure, ending those kinds of events. So, my point being that corporate mentality can really make a difference, but it doesn't have to be run that way. In the entertainment world, the corporate mentality has affected not just the work environments in some areas, but the product being offered to audiences, as well. The movie industry is "franchise happy" these days, catering to teens almost exclusively, and that's because the corporate execs only care about the money and not the entertainment value, for the most part. They aren't creative in the way some execs used to be. This also goes to the way employees are treated and the interactions between management and employees.
@@bryanismyname7583 Agreed. It is a shame.

70 former and current staff members. Nit one would defend him!
This is another example of cancel culture. People expect work places to be comfortable , peaceful, and nurturing. The reality is work mostly never that; it an dynamic environment with imperfect management
and sometimes requires, direct unfiltered communication. Yes, and you have to put up with moods of people around you. Ellen, Lizzo, Fallon, who is next to be canceled?
In Jimmy’s case I hope it was the alcohol talking and not him being that awful. I am all for canceling someone if they are awful like Kanye or Ellen though.
@@ethanweeter2732 Yeah, a lot of it seems like he has a problem with alcohol. It's definitely not an excuse and should not be one, but it is a reason. idk though, things dont look so good for him atm

I don't have to put up with Jack and neither do you
Totally believe those folks. I don’t know how he’s been on the air as long as he has. -My son was a teen valet at a popular Hamptons restaurant JF frequented. JF never drove in without screeching his car to a stop and spraying stones on those in the lot, screaming at the boys for immediate service, throwing keys and telling them to crawl for their $5 bill he threw on the ground while railing that he had no idea why he needed to pay to have his car parked, glaring, snapping and snidely blasting guests and servers. The owner finally had to ask him to take his business elsewhere. JF always stunk and slurred throughout, and yet, the busy restaurant soon had to close for lack of customers. -If JF is ever mentioned around my 26 year old well-settled son, he turns red, shudders, and quickly leaves the room. Only time I ever see him not completely composed. That JF scared the you-know-what out of those boys week after week, month after month, and it’s still with him. And apparently, me. - Do not buy that boyish schtick he puts on. He’s mean, selfish and cruel to youngsters who are working to pay for school uniforms and baseball equipment.
Jimmy sounds off-the-rails and not in a good way! What a shitster! Jimmy could've contributed to the failure of the business. I would not want to be around that kind of energy, that's for sure.
What a jerk!
You look at colbert, kimmel, oliver, meyers. They have really good writers. I don’t know what’s wrong with the tonight show. I rarely see fallon deliver a punchline that brought the house down while the rest have done so with almost every show.
Because for them it's about the guests. For Fallon it's about Fallon. Cordon was the same
I may be projecting here, but the other people you mentioned seem more emotionally committed to the material. Maybe because they dare to bring politics into their shows and feel personally engaged. I don't have a problem with that, in fact their humour has made the last 8 years bearable. Fallon, on the other hand, has always seemed to try too hard to sell his jokes. His best skits are the ones with music.
Seems this dude just needs a job on a game show ..peroid.
Oliver who?
Seth Meyers has had so little turn over on his writing staff, I think that high turn over should be a pretty big red flag in a business where a gig that steady is hard to come by.
Alcoholism takes a toll on coworkers.
"Alcoholism takes a toll" ftfy
An apology with "if" after "sorry" and not addressing what happened in the apology... IS NOT an apology.
Dang, I had a manager like that. Anything will set him off and the reaction would not warrant what has occurred. Something as simple as the adjustment to a document would be wrong and other mangers would ask for it to be revised and he would flip his 💩 And I would be in the corner thinking to myself like you're the one that messed it up in the first place so why are you losing it?! They should be the ones losing it on you. Ppl with mood disorders shouldn't be managers. Just sayin. It affects their judgements. GLAD I never have to see him again. He tried to mood out on me and I snapped back and he kept purposefully f-ing files and dump it on me the last 30 min like I f-ed it up. I fixed it and ppl complimented me on the work but ppl would never know all the poo-poo that went on behind the scene so I really feel for the workers there. It was also for a big Cable TV place. I was kinda like is this just holly wood BS or what? It was all very unnecessary.
I'm honestly not surprised. I always assumed that working on a daily show like this where you have to pull current topical stuff and crank it out for the daily taping would be a meat grinder.
Fair or not, the first thought that popped into my head was "this is the kind of thing that happens when you hire a staff full of Gen Z'ers." I know nothing about this particular case. I'm simply pointing out that when a group of people become known for always whining whenever they don't get their way, then you can't help but begin to question the legitimacy of their complaints as they continue whining about an ever-growing list of grievances.
Yep.
And speaking of that, I counted nineteen ? marks in these less than 4 minutes. And none of those came from the CNN reporter. Good lord
Have you ever worked with a bunch of boomers???
We all whine. It’s not a generational thing
@@emilyfeagin2673 complaining may not be, but failing to use your words and have a conversation like an adult is
So, more victim blaming?
@@NuiYabuko Not really. I stated that "I know nothing about this particular case". Their complaints may well be legit. The point I was making is that by complaining all the time, one can't assume that it is legit. A better life strategy would be to not sweat the small stuff, don't make mountains out of molehills, and choose their battles carefully. Then, when the "stuff hits the fan" people will be more inclined to believe them and take their side.
People having a tough job, working with assholes sometimes. Amazing journalism.
I'm sad as much as I thought he was a nice guy and always said that he seem like a kool funny guy to hang around with, saddens me, 😢 I know people get out of control but when you hurt people's feelings on and on and on and not notice ,is horrible. Yea you apologized but damage has been done, you can redeem yourself but will be on a different level for awhile.
I had a friend who worked for him. They said he belittled everyone. Treated people like disposable trash. 😢
You can see the anger in his eyes. Honestly.
The eyes chico, they never lie
hey everyone - i found the trustworthy eyeball reader guy, and he says Jimmy is angry.
Fallon should also apologize for his fake laughter.
If there is a toxic environment then by all means work to fix it. But I have witnessed how people who are entitled children or too sensitive go off the rails to get good people in trouble. They say they didn't like the tone or what was said or totally take something out of context. And for those cases I am concerned.
Oh my god, we're not allowed to have a bad day. The snowflake gay rainbow unicorn sunshiney day culture insists we all float above life's problems on platform shoes in sparkly g-strings wearing glitter and being fabulous just because feelings are far more important than getting your job done properly and right and on time. I hope you precious snowflakes are never, ever, challenged, and become victims of your own self righteousness as your first brushes with the real world leave you fatally wounded, emotionally. Life is tough. Deal with it. That man has been putting out a great program for decades, what the hexx have you ever done? Who are you, really?
This one doesn't surprise me too much. He often seemed to make jokes at other people's expense, and some of his punchlines just didn't land for me. I can only imagine that some of the top folks working beneath him got fed up and left. Contrast him with Conan O'Brien, whose humor is often self-deprecating and is known to treat his employees well, and it's clear who is the funnier of the two. At any rate, I hope he's being true to his words and changes his behavior down the road.
I always thought it was the other way around. Jewish people have to learn how to get along with all kinds of people, because they're part of a minority. Always outnumbered. It's the Christian folks who can't get along with others, and throw their weight around. That seems to be the pattern I've experienced, even though I grew up Baptist. But I'm also a member of a minority group, so we're used to catching hell. Had heard about Fallon's drinking problem for years, so no real surprise there. Probably a trip to rehab in his future...
Yeah, Conan!
He should apologise to his desk first. He slapped the heck out of that thing, night after night, for years!
😂😂😂😂
Jimmy Fallon, king of late night fun,
But backstage, some things couldn’t be undone.
The Rolling Stones uncovered a tale,
Of a workplace vibe that was off the scale.
Short in stature, but tall in pride,
Had a little Napoleon tucked inside.
Moody days and tempest nights,
Keeping employees in a grip so tight.
But then the story began to unroll,
And Jimmy realized he'd dug a hole.
He offered an apology, said "Oops, my bad!",
Hoping to mend the reputation he had.
He should have known, in comedy's realm,
It’s better to be the captain, not overwhelm.
Now Jimmy, next time you start feeling grand,
Remember to keep a gentle hand.
It’s never too late to change one’s tone,
And create a workplace where kindness is shown.
We hope for Jimmy, a lesson's been learned,
And a more compassionate page he's turned.
No idea why this hasn’t gotten more likes. This is gold😭
I don’t deal with co-workers or a boss. As a bus driver, as long as you show up on time to get your bus and you drive safely, you can spend weeks without dealing with a supervisor or coworker. It’s just hi bus is good, ok bye. Love it, no time to be toxic or anything, they trust you to do your job right and leave you alone. I used to be in a job where it’s dealing with coworkers all day long and customers, no more thanks.
I was a delivery driver for years. Same thing. And boxes don’t make as much noise as people. And they usuall don’t smell funny
Lol. Everyone is so sensitive, they think that no one should ever feel stressed out at work.
And boys will be boys?
Because that's the problem. rolls-eyes
"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." ~ Elwood P. Dowd
A quote from the movie Harvey (1950) with Jimmy Steward and it's one of my favorite quotes to live by.
"It's embarrassing I got caught and called out for all my utter toxicity". "I apologize if anyone (ELSE) feels I did the wrong thing." 🙄Pure spin.
His show sucks anyway. Colbert and Kimmel are way better.
I liked him on SNL though, he was always breaking character and that was funny.
I knew he had a drinking problem years ago, when he almost lost his finger while drunk.
🤔 *There's a good joke in that story somewhere **_BUT can Jimmy Fallon Find That Joke?!_* 🤭
🤣
Yeah, that is why he probably is redeemable. I will take addiction over him being just an awful person and addiction not playing a role.
im not the staff so i dont want to undermine how they perceived it. from the outside looking in, i think where he gets "brownie points" is for how soon he apologized and how sincere he seems. as opposed to ellen who just dragged things out and did nothing to change the toxic environment. lets see how it unfolds. at the end of the day, we all want to be treated in a humane way at work.
Don’t work at Walmart.
You can tell it’s all true by the way he rolls his eyes at his crowd when they don’t say what he would like. It was so revealing I just stopped watching years ago.
Comedy shows in front of a live audience require impeccable timing and presentation. Having a lot of people in that process to deliver opens up opportunity for failure - thus tremendous pressure on the person or people delivering the punch line/content to the audience. They are the only one the audience sees.
I would almost think the environment would be intense like a sports team would be on game day. The highs and lows are likely extreme. I would think people would know that going in.
There's no biz like show biz.
wow, I hope Jimmy means it
I am inclined to believe Jimmy's apology and the NBC's response to it because of one important thing
Neither Jimmy or NBC deny it
And considering that almost everyone that, when accused, automatically deny it
That's a pretty low bar.
It certainly raises questions as to why it took so long, and a leaked report to the media, for anything to be done after it had been raised by multiple staff members. That's why I find the apology more difficult to accept.
He only apologised once it was in the public. That’s a non apology. He is just sorry it’s in the public.
LMAO. Great reasoning. Some people apologize just to appease the whiny liberal peasants who have nothing better to do than tear apart someone's life for something that happened twenty years ago, all whilst never taking one solid look into the mirror.
@@bobagorofUnless they broke the law, it can stay in house for a while.
What exactly happened? Why was there no specific details of what Jimmy did?
0:11 The specific details of what Jimmy Fallon did are in the Rolling Stone article.
The toughest time to ever work on The Tonight Show would have been for Johnny Carson not Jimmy Fallon
Why does the public need to know this?
What people don't realise is the nature of comedians , some of the people who are great comedians sadly have flawed inner souls.
From drugs, alcohol, gambling, high sexual needs, and some suffering from depression, as well as low esteem Making people laugh night after night is hard work.
Many have dark souls, such as Robin Williams, a great actor , a brilliant comedian, and one of a kind. Sadly, his demons got to him.
And sadly, he won't be the last.
@c.a.savage5689 Thanks 😊 🙏 all, corrected.
@@keithdouglas7154all good. I'll delete my comment.
@c.a.savage5689 No, don't keep it up, shows you read my comments.
I worked in theater and TV for years and there seem to be two major "types" of performers... those who are friendly and will mingle with the crew and those who feel the need to be alone to keep their concentration. I found this especially true with comedians, where timing in a joke is really, really important. On one hand some are funny ALL the time... Ann Meara is one of those, others are very serious off stage and you leave them alone! Not all actors of any kind feel secure in their talent or chosen profession.
I will say that the crew that supports them really do appreciate an acknowledgement of their existence and for the work they do. and a thank you. As a lighting designer, I have mentioned to actors that they need to hit their mark because they aren't nearly as funny if they can't be seen... and if they are not nice to the LD and the crew... it can get very dark where they are! 😊
this is behavior is normal when it comes to Hollywood or huge/small companies. higher ups have always treated their staff less than. I'm not saying is right but in the real world it happens. just because they seem nice on TV doesn't mean they treat everyone equal.
And it should change.
Never too late for change. Accepting toxicity as the status quo is never ok. Ruining people's mental health because you have more money is UNACCEPTABLE and deserves to be called out.
@@taranjene4453i wouldn’t tell people i have more money except my brother
I"m glad he apologised to the staff. That's good.
OMG he was short tempered at times! Oh no! Such millennial whining.
So let’s get this right according to that interview.
Gallon dhouted at some people when he was angry he then said sorry and then
Loads of other people said he was a great bloke to work for.
And that’s it
I don’t think you have it right. No one mentioned ‘Gallon dhouted’.
There has to be room for people who apologize to grow and show they’ve grown. Stress is part of most jobs and I don’t see anything too bad here. That said…Some folks need to toughen up a little too.
I always thought Jimmy Fallon's a fake. Prob why i never watch his shows.
Kids today are crying babies, they can't take any kind of pressure, anything turns into abuse and burnout.
