Jimmy Fallon Criticized for Lack of Support During Writers' Strike

A staffer from The Tonight Show has called out host Jimmy Fallon for not showing up to a meeting where it was announced that NBC will stop paying staff starting next week due to the Writers Guild of America strike. While Fallon had previously expressed support for the striking writers, he was not present to inform his own staff of the decision. The strike has led to production halting across all major late-night shows, with reruns set to air. Late-night host Seth Meyers has been praised for his support of the union and for reportedly taking care of his staff and crew after NBC stops paying.
