Jimmy Fallon Under Fire for Handling of Writers' Strike
TL;DR Summary
Late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers will personally pay their staffs for at least three weeks of hiatus during the ongoing WGA strike, with two weeks being funded by NBC and an extra week of compensation being covered by the hosts themselves. The move mirrors that of late-night hosts during the last writers' strike in 2007-2008 and during the pandemic in 2020. The hosts have expressed support for their writers' demands and hope for a fair deal.
