Jimmy Fallon is currently off-air after some of his staff members accused him of creating a toxic work environment that affected their mental health. Amongst all the chaos, a tweet resurfaced that revealed how Amy Poehler once stood up to Fallon after he criticized one of her jokes. The tweet came from Tina Fey’s 2013 memoir, Bossypants. Let’s dive into the details.
For those who are not aware, Jimmy Fallon publicly apologized after some of his staffers labeled him as toxic and unpredictable. In his apology, Fallon expressed his embarrassment and deep remorse for his actions. It was also reported that he had a secret spot in a club where he used to take his writers to party.
Now, let’s focus on the incident involving Amy Poehler. According to The Daily Mail, Tina Fey’s memoir depicted a situation in which Jimmy Fallon attempted to silence Poehler after she made a vulgar joke in front of the Saturday Night Live (SNL) staff. It’s worth noting that Poehler made her SNL debut after the 9/11 attacks. In her memoir, Fey wrote, “Amy was involved in some nonsense with Seth Meyers at the table, and she made a vulgar joke. I can’t recall the exact details, but it was crude, loud, and ‘unladylike’.” Continuing her account, Fey added, “Jimmy Fallon turned to her, adopting a faux-squeamish tone, and said, ‘Stop that! It’s not cute! I don’t like it.'”
But that wasn’t the end of the tense moment between Jimmy Fallon and Amy Poehler. As described in Tina Fey’s memoir, “Amy stopped everything she was doing, her eyes went black for a second, and she confronted him. ‘I don’t f**king care if you like it,'” she responded. Fallon was left stunned, and according to the memoir, “Amy simply went back to enjoying her comedic skit. That exchange marked a significant shift in dynamics.”
Tina Fey also clarified in her memoir that “Jimmy and Amy are great friends, and there was never any real feud between them.” It’s important to keep in mind that individuals can have disagreements and still maintain strong relationships.
