Editing Jimmy Fallon (section)

=== Toxic work environment allegations ===
In September 2023, ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' published an article about Fallon and ''The Tonight Show'' workplace culture titled "Chaos, Comedy, and 'Crying Rooms': Inside Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show'", based on interviews with 16 former and then-active employees. It alleged that Fallon mistreated his staff, acted erratically, was prone to outbursts, and contributed to a toxic workplace culture. According to former employees, Fallon's behavior on a given day seemed to be related to whether he was allegedly hungover from the previous night. The abuse led to many employees referring to the special guests' dressing rooms as the ''crying rooms'' because that is where the employees would go to let out their emotions. [[NBC]] released a statement, defending the program, but they did not address the allegations against Fallon.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Yandoli|first=Krystie Lee|title=Chaos, Comedy, and 'Crying Rooms': Inside Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show'|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/jimmy-fallon-tonight-show-toxic-work-environment-crying-rooms-nbc-1234819421/|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=September 7, 2023 |access-date=September 7, 2023}}</ref> The day of the article's publication, he apologized to his staff on a Zoom call, saying: "It's embarrassing and I feel so bad.
