While late-night host Jimmy Fallon has been off-air amid Hollywood's actors and writers strikes, some of his staff members are speaking out about what they say is a toxic workplace culture behind "The Tonight Show."
In a Rolling Stone investigation published Thursday, two current and 14 former employees of the NBC talk show say their experiences working on the show included declining mental health, intimidation from higher-ups, including the 48-year-old Fallon, and poor treatment because of Fallon's erratic behavior.
The staffers, whose jobs ranged from production crew to office employees and writers, all requested anonymity out of fear of retaliation.
Of the more than 80 "Tonight Show" employees, past and present, who were contacted, no one who spoke with Rolling Stone senior entertainment reporter Krystie Lee Yandoli "agreed to speak on the record or had positive things to say about working on The Tonight Show."
Still, "many of them praised Fallon's immense talent and comedic gifts."
