Jerry Seinfeld rushes to defend Jimmy Fallon against “twisting of events”

Published

on

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld has come to the defence of fellow comedian and “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon amidst allegations of a toxic workplace environment.

Seinfeld, aged 69, referred to the accusations as an “idiotic twisting of events” and shared his perspective on a specific incident at the centre of the controversy.

Two former staffers of “The Tonight Show,” speaking anonymously to Rolling Stone, claimed that Seinfeld had witnessed Fallon belittling an employee during a segment.

According to their accounts, Fallon allegedly scolded a crew member publicly for making a cue card error, leading to an uncomfortable situation.

Seinfeld, however, offered a different perspective, stating, “This is so stupid. 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.”

He emphasised that the incident was not uncomfortable at all and that he and Fallon occasionally recall it and laugh together.

The anonymous sources also claimed that Seinfeld had compelled Fallon to apologise for the alleged exchange. They described the situation as one of the strangest moments ever and noted that many people were present at the time.

In response to the allegations, NBC, the network that airs “The Tonight Show,” issued a statement affirming their commitment to maintaining a respectful working environment. They emphasised that they take any employee concerns seriously and conduct investigations as necessary.

Judge grants request to pause Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case

Special Counsel Jack Smith moves to vacate pretrial deadlines as DOJ weighs next steps after Trump’s Election Day victory.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan on Friday granted Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request to pause proceedings in former President Donald Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case.

The decision halts upcoming pretrial deadlines, allowing the Department of Justice (DOJ) time to consider next steps after Trump’s recent electoral win.

Smith’s motion filed on Friday highlighted the unprecedented situation, noting, “as a result of the election,” the DOJ seeks to vacate remaining deadlines to “assess this unprecedented circumstance.”

Judge Chutkan agreed, instructing the prosecution to submit a status report on December 2 with its proposed course of action.

The request marks a pivotal step, likely steering toward a halt in prosecution, given the DOJ’s longstanding policy against prosecuting a sitting president.

Trump’s victory, making him the first convicted felon elected to the White House, has prompted DOJ officials to deliberate on how best to close Smith’s two federal cases against him.

Had Trump lost the race against Vice President Harris, the former president could have faced potential prison time.

However, this Election Day win likely shields him from criminal consequences while in office.
