Fallon reportedly said he did not intend to “create that type of atmosphere for the show” during a call with the show’s staff, according to Rolling Stone.
In the original story, 16 current and former employees described a difficult work environment at “The Tonight Show” that in some cases they say was detrimental to their mental health. The individuals were not identified by name in the story, citing fear of professional repercussions. CNN has not independently verified their claims.
Fallon and the “Tonight Show” did not provide comment for the first story, but a statement from NBC was included in the report. “We are incredibly proud of The Tonight Show, and providing a respectful working environment is a top priority,” NBC’s statement read. “As in any workplace, we have had employees raise issues; those have been investigated and action has been taken where appropriate. As is always the case, we encourage employees who feel they have experienced or observed behavior inconsistent with our policies to report their concerns so that we may address them accordingly.
