Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Jerry Seinfeld denies witnessing Jimmy Fallon 'scold' Tonight Show employee
Caption: In a report published on Rolling Stone on Thursday, two current and 14 former staffers claimed the host's erratic behaviour had fostered a toxic work environment on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Within the report, two employees recalled an "uncomfortable" incident in which Fallon allegedly publicly "scolded" a crew member for messing up his cue cards during a segment with the comedian. Seinfeld allegedly told Fallon to apologise and he did. In a statement to Rolling Stone in response to the report, the Seinfeld actor described the allegation as an "idiotic twisting of events". "This is so stupid," the 69-year-old said. "I remember this moment quite well... I teased Jimmy about a flub, and we all had a fun laugh about how rarely Jimmy is thrown off. It was not uncomfortable at all.”. Following the report's publication, Fallon and his showrunner Chris Miller appeared on a Zoom call with show staff to apologise. "It's embarrassing and I feel so bad. Sorry if I embarrassed you and your family and friends.”. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
