Late-night host Jimmy Fallon faces backlash from staff during writers' strike.

NBC, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers plan to pay staffers of the network’s “Tonight” and “Late Night” shows three weeks’ of wages while the programs are sidelined due to the writers strike. NBC plans to pay two weeks of salary to staffers while each late-night host will pay a third week out of their own pockets. Late-night programs across the TV landscape face headier challenges than they did 15 years ago, grappling with the defection of viewers from linear programming to streaming, with ad sales and ratings in gradual decline.
