Jimmy Fallon blasted by 'Tonight Show' staffer for comments about Hollywood's writers' strike.
Jimmy, like all other late night hosts, is scrambling to figure out how to handle personnel matters during the writer's strike, which will effect all employees -- including non-writers -- because all the network talk shows are shutting down.
Monday at the Met Gala, Jimmy was asked about the strike and told Variety,"I wouldn’t have a show if it wasn't for my writers, I support them all the way."In follow-up tweets, Sarah says she's not a striking worker because she isn't a member of the Writers Guild of America, but again ... with all the shows airing reruns, her livelihood will be impacted nonetheless.
She adds 'Tonight Show' employees were told"NBC decided to stop paying us after this week and end our health insurance after this month if the strike is ongoing. They won't even tell us if we will technically be furloughed. Just active employees who aren't paid."
