Summary

Is Mr. Nice Guy Jimmy Fallon not so nice after all? In a new exposé from Rolling Stone, two current and 14 former employees of “The Tonight Show” are opening up about alleged toxic working conditions on the show. And the host is right in the middle of these alarming accusations. From his ever-changing moods, to the rumors of his problematic drinking, this is putting comedy’s boy-next-door in a whole new (and very unflattering) light.
