Employee says Jimmy Fallon missed a meeting where striking workers were told their wages would end

Jimmy Fallon’s claim that he fully supports the Hollywood writers’ strike was ridiculed on Tuesday by a member of his team, who said the 48-year-old comedian did not attend a production meeting to discuss the union’s move.

Fallon was at the Met Gala in New York City on Monday, photographed laughing with supermodels Gigi Hadid and Karen Elson, and hanging out with Jared Leto.

Asked on the red carpet if he supported the strike — which was confirmed hours later — Fallon said, “I wouldn’t have a show if it weren’t for my writers. I totally support them.”

Yet a photo research coordinator on his show was quick to accuse him of not being interested in their plight.

“At a meeting Jimmy wasn’t even in, we were told NBC decided not to pay us after this week and terminate our health insurance after this month if the strike continues,” Sarah Kobos tweeted.

Sarah Kobos, who works as a photo research coordinator at Fallon’s show, said he failed to show up to an important meeting about the strike

“They won’t even tell us if we’re technically on leave. Just active employees who are not paid.’

She added: “I should bear in mind that I am not a union and not a striking worker – this was for the rest of the staff and crew.”

Fallon’s representatives, contacted by DailyMail.com, said they could not comment.

Sources told DailyMail.com that the meeting Kobos was referring to was a standard production meeting, which Fallon has never attended before.

Kobos, who is based in New York City — where The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is taped every weeknight — said Fallon’s behavior contrasted with his rival comedians.

“I was told that Seth Meyers was in their Zoom production meeting and will try to take care of his staff and crew after NBC stops paying,” she tweeted.

During the last writer’s strike, in 2007, Conan O’Brien paid the salaries of 75 of his team out of his own pocket.

David Letterman also paid staff salaries for Late Show With David Letterman and The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, both of which are produced by his Worldwide Pants banner, until the end of the year during the 2007 strike.

Jay Leno, meanwhile, broke the strike and wrote his own material and let his staff go.

A representative for Leno said the comedian handed out $500,000 in bonuses to staff.

Carson Daly also returned to work.

“If I didn’t go back to work, about 75 staff and crew members would have lost their jobs,” Daly said.

“As a non-WGA member, I feel I supported the Writers Guild of America and the strike by suspending production for a month. While I continue to support the cause, I cannot, in good conscience, stand by and allow this to happen with my loyal staff and crew. I sincerely hope the strike is over soon.’

On Tuesday, shows from Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and Meyers all aired reruns.

Members of the union organized studios across the country.

In Los Angeles shortly before 1 p.m. local time, picket lines formed outside at least 10 television and movie studio offices, and passing drivers honked in support.

In New York, the protest started even earlier when writers took over an entire block outside the 5th Avenue location where NBCUniversal streamer Peacock hosted his Newfronts presentation.
