How Jimmy Fallon is responding to report of his 'toxic workplace'

Jimmy Fallon is addressing the discourse surrounding his show being a"toxic workplace," and he's going straight to the source: His staff.

"It's embarrassing and I feel so bad," he told staffers, according to Variety."Sorry if I embarrassed you and your family and friends. I feel so bad I can't even tell you. I want this show to be fun. It should be inclusive for everybody. It should be funny. It should be the best show, the best people."

Half of the former employees interviewed for the report said their mental health was affected by their time at the show. They told Rolling Stone they would refer to guests' dressing rooms as"crying rooms," as they would go there to release emotions from the alleged mistreatment. "We are incredibly proud of 'The Tonight Show,' and providing a respectful working environment is a top priority," the statement read."As in any workplace, we have had employees raise issues; those have been investigated, and action has been taken where appropriate."
