The show resumed its usual antics, delivering monologue jokes and spreading cheer, which Fallon was genuinely thankful for. However, when confronted with the recent scandal concerning a toxic work culture, Jimmy Fallon skillfully skirted the matter, expressing his joy at being back on air.
Reports suggested that he had conducted a Zoom call to apologize to his staff members, with some of his producers defending him as a supportive figure. During a recent episode of "The Tonight Show," Kelly Clarkson made an appearance just ahead of the fifth season premiere of her own show.
Fallon didn't hold back in his critique of Meghan and Harry, particularly in light of their Netflix series. It's worth noting that he had even removed Meghan from the guest list for his show in November of the previous year.
A source on Tumblr claimed that Jimmy Fallon was backstage sharing details about Meghan and Harry's recent trip to the tiny island of Canouan. It appeared that their privileged vacation had raised concerns about allegations of discrimination, primarily impacting local residents, who were mainly people of color. These residents were being denied access to a popular beach to accommodate wealthy visitors, which led to a significant outcry.
The issue went beyond the beach, with concerns about private access being granted to investors and friends. Images of the island seemed to intentionally exclude people, creating a facade of pristine beauty. Meghan's lack of action or advocacy on this matter didn't sit well with the local residents, giving the impression that she supported the restrictions.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry may face one of the greatest ironies of his life with the new season of "The Crown" awaiting release. The show's decision to showcase the current-day monarchs under a triumphant narrative arc could be seen as ironic, given his past accusations of being sacrificed for PR purposes. The article suggested that the same business benefiting from his childhood pain now helps fund the Sussexes' endeavors in California.
In the midst of all this, questions arise about how free Harry and Meghan truly are, given the specter of media portrayal and the financial ties that connect them to their past royal life.
