Jimmy Fallon’s Reported Behavior Shows That A 'Moody Boss' Is The Worst 'Bad Boss' Of All
HuffPost
A Rolling Stone report about the toxic culture at “The Tonight Show” illustrates the perils of an unpredictable boss — and science backs that up.
On television, late night host Jimmy Fallon has cultivated a friendly, charming personality among guests and audiences. But according to an investigation by Rolling Stone that was published Thursday, behind closed doors Fallon created a toxic environment for the staff at “The Tonight Show.”
According to two current and 14 former unnamed employees that Rolling Stone interviewed, Fallon’s unpredictable behavior made the show a toxic workplace. The anonymous employees described a mercurial, moody boss who would belittle and berate staff with passive-aggressive comments and outbursts on “bad Jimmy days.” Eight former staffers alleged that his behavior at work “seemed to be dependent on if he appeared to be hungover from the night before.”
