'Tonight Show' Staffer Says Jimmy Fallon Doesn't Support 'Writer's Strike' Staff
TMZ.com
Jimmy Fallon says he wouldn't have a late-night show without his writers, and he's backing them in their strike, but a 'Tonight Show' staffer begs to disagree ...pretending that Jimmy speaks everything.
Sarah Kobos, senior photo research coordinator on Jimmy's talk show, ripped it up on social media on Tuesday at the start of the writers' strike, saying..."He wasn't even at the meeting this morning to tell us that we won "I will not be paid after this week."
Sarah tagged Jimmy in her tweet, adding... "@jimmyfallon please support your staff. I had fun bowling with you last week but a fun party won't pay off my rent."
Jimmy, like all the other late night hosts, is struggling to figure out how to handle personnel issues during the writers' strike, which will affect all employees, including non-writers, as all talk -network shows are closed.
Monday at the Met Gala, Jimmy was asked about the strike and told Variety, "I wouldn't have a show without my writers, I support them all the way."

In follow-up tweets, Sarah says she's not a striking worker because she's not a member of the Writers Guild of America, but again...with all the shows airing in replay, his livelihood will nevertheless be impacted.< /p>
She adds that 'Tonight Show' employees have been told that "NBC has decided to stop paying us after this week and terminate our health insurance after this month if the strike continues. They won't tell us not even if we'll technically be laid off. Just active employees who don't get paid."
