Jimmy Fallon has apologised to staff at NBC’s Tonight Show, following allegations that he had created a “toxic” work environment.
“I feel so bad I can’t even tell you,” he told staff on a Zoom call, according to Rolling Stone magazine.
It follows an investigation by the magazine which exposed damaging allegations from 16 of the US TV show’s current and former staff.
They told Rolling Stone that for years they felt belittled and intimidated.
They described Fallon’s behaviour as “erratic” – depending on whether he was having a “good Jimmy day” or a “bad Jimmy day”.
They said they were subject to angry “outbursts”.
According to Rolling Stone’s original story which revealed the allegations, the guests’ dressing rooms were referred to as “crying rooms”.
