Earlier on Thursday, Rolling Stone published allegations from two current and 14 former employees, including production crew and writers, who requested anonymity out of fear of retaliation. Rolling Stone claimed they had approached an additional 80 current and former employees, but “not a single one agreed to speak on the record or had positive things to say about working on the Tonight Show”.
According to Rolling Stone’s report, multiple sources alleged Fallon had a history of “outbursts” and lashing out at staff when under pressure; that previous senior staff on the show had bullied and belittled them; and that guests’ dressing rooms were commonly known as “cry rooms”, where employees could go let out their stress.
Nine showrunners have worked on the Tonight Show since Fallon took over from Jay Leno in 2014; a much faster turnover than comparable late night shows like Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
Yeah, not everyone like all types of humor. By actually having a personality and a distinct sense of humor he opens himself up to not being liked.
Unlike the charismatic black holes of Falcon and Leno that are just there and fills time until the inevitable heat death of the universe.
At least Leno was an ok interviewer and (at least based on his post tonight shown life) seems not to be a dick.
Fallon is SUCH a bad interviewer, it is incredibly grating.
Leno on the Tonight Show was just a rotating parade of shills. It was devoid of any soul, community, or any emotion really.
