New York Daily News
The New York Daily News is a U.S. newspaper based in New York City. It is the ninth most widely circulated daily newspaper in the country, printing 200,000 copies a day. It was founded in 1919, and was the first U.S. daily printed in tabloid format. As of 2017, the paper is owned by tronc, the publishing operations of the former Tribune Company, and is headquartered at 4 New York Plaza in Lower Manhattan.
Though a self-proclaimed Republican newspaper for much of its history, the Daily News in recent years has exhibited a more moderate-to-liberal bias, and is often contrasted with the right-rated New York Post.
“Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon apologized to his staff following a bombshell report alleging his NBC show made for a toxic and “nightmare” work environment.
“Sorry if I embarrassed you and your family and friends,” Fallon reportedly told staffers on a Thursday evening Zoom call. “I feel so bad, I can’t even tell you.”
The initial report, published by Rolling Stone Thursday morning, cited two current and 14 former employees, who painted a dark picture of life behind the scenes at “The Tonight Show,” which Fallon took over in 2014. The publication followed up with a report of Fallon’s apology later in the day.
“I want the show to be fun,” Fallon reportedly told employees on the Zoom call, which he led with showrunner Chris Miller. “[It] should be inclusive to everybody. It should be the best show.”
