MODERATORS
This show is too boring to deserve this much drama behind the scenes.
It is probably because of the quantity of content you need in a day. You need at least 22 minutes of stand-up or sketch along with talking points or skits with celebrities. That is a lot of work, even if it fit something generally bland and forgettable.
It also probably doesn't help that Fallon came from SNL, which famously has a bad work culture.
This is an exceptional point.
The Larry Sanders show is an excellent look into how crazy the late night business is.
