NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: 'The Tonight Show' host and stand-up comedian Jimmy Fallon who stands 6 ft 0 in (183 cm/ 1.83 m) as per IMDb, is best known for his humor and comedy skits on his wildly successful show.

The 48-year-old TV icon has even been known to sing on stage. Fallon had a love for comedy and music as a child, and at age 21 he reportedly relocated to Los Angeles to pursue stand-up comedy.

In 1998, he was given the opportunity to realize a longstanding desire by being hired as a cast member of Saturday Night Live.

Fallon co-hosted the Weekend Update segment of SNL for six years. He reportedly departed the program in 2004 to appear in movies including 'Taxi' and 'Fever Pitch'.

However, the vivacious host recently made news for reportedly contributing to a hostile work environment, as claimed by the cast of 'The Tonight Show', who were said to be terrified of the "bad Jimmy days."

What is Jimmy Fallon apologizing for?

On September 7, Rolling Stone published a story that was based on interviews with 16 former and then-active staff members and discussed Fallon and the 'Tonight Show' work environment.

It claimed that Fallon mistreated his employees, behaved erratically, had a temper, and fostered a hazardous workplace environment.

"When something was wrong, we all knew how to behave afterward, which was just sort of avoid eye contact and don't make another mistake," says one former staffer.

In one event described in the report, Fallon yelled at the employee carrying the cue cards while a sketch starring Jerry Seinfeld was being taped.

Fallon reportedly apologized to his colleagues via Zoom the day the article was published, saying, "It's embarrassing and I feel so bad. Sorry if I embarrassed you and your family and friends."

Why was Jimmy Fallon growing a beard?

Jimmy Fallon's August 2022 MTV VMAs rough beard debut sent fans into a frenzy, and the 'Tonight Show' host also revealed the unexpected source of his new facial hair.

Fallon, 48, traveled to Tennessee to work with Dolly Parton on the NBC holiday spectacular "Dolly Parton's Mountain Magic Christmas."

"I’m there with Dolly Parton. She’s the coolest. And she has all these pictures of all her albums, and it’s like 200-something albums she did, a lot of them with these old cowboys (with) decent beards," Fallon shared, as per Today.

"And I go, I never really tried to get a real beard — you know, like, went for it," he noted. "Because it’s patchy and it takes a long time."

When Fallon left Dollywood, it seemed that he was still deciding whether or not to start shaving, but an unlikely encounter with a different great artist while out to dinner with his wife, Nancy Juvonen, was the tipping point.

"Who’s at the dinner? Paul McCartney, and he had a beard," Fallon stated. "And I go, this is a sign from God. God is telling me to grow a beard."
