man-drinking-11SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] How does TV Guy do it? He works a full-time job… has a wife and little kids at home… and yet he still has the energy to party solo until the wee hours of the morning!

Wait a minute. This all sounds so familiar. Didn’t we tell you a similar story last year?

Why, yes we did! And here’s a fun fact for you: the last story just happened to have taken place at the EXACT same time and the EXACT same location as this story! Our TV Guy is nothing if not consistent.

Despite his seemingly boundless energy, TV Guy really shouldn’t stay out so late. After all, a lack of sleep could lead to a case of the sniffles.

Glug glug. Sniff sniff.

[Optional] What is it going to take for him to stop?

TV Guy: Jimmy Fallon

Drunkster Jimmy Fallon is at it again!

If you read Blind Gossip regularly – or if you are one of the people who have witnessed his drunk, bumbling, stumbling antics at 3:00 am on a weeknight at various New York City bars – you already know that late night host Jimmy Fallon has a serious problem with the bottle.

Of course, his network is denying it. From The New York Post:

NBC worried Jimmy Fallon’s boozing got ‘out of control’

Jimmy Fallon was warned to cut back on his boozing by NBC chiefs following a series of bizarre late-night accidents, according to multiple insiders.

An NBC insider said of the funnyman, “There were fears that Fallon was out of control and something could happen while he’s out drinking. Things got so serious at one stage that execs feared that Jimmy was splitting up with his wife over his drinking, but they patched things up.”

jimmy-fallon-2The beloved “Tonight Show” host’s recent allegedly alcohol-aided antics include tripping on a rug at home and nearly severing his ring finger on a table in June 2015. Then he chipped his tooth “trying to open medicine for his injured finger” a few months later. In October 2015 he cut his hand on a bottle of Jägermeister. In September of this year a “very drunk” Fallon was seen alone at an NYC punk bar at 3 a.m, which sparked more NBC concerns.

Another Fallon source said, “He is a heavy drinker. He sees himself as somebody who needs image rehabilitation.” But, we’re told by another friend, “He knows he needs to be responsible. He has two kids. He has cut back on his drinking.”

The first source said that, while Fallon’s show is No. 1, a few key staff members have left to work for CBS rival James Corden. “Fallon is insanely jealous of Corden,” the source continued. “There’s been some upheaval, and Jimmy hasn’t handled it well. He’s at the top of his game, but he’s insecure.” Fallon has parted ways with his longtime publicist and just hired Brad Pitt’s crisis p.r. manager.

But Fallon has the full backing of NBC, and his contract was extended to late 2021.

Bob Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment, told us, “Jimmy is one of NBC’s biggest assets, and we’re extremely proud that ‘The Tonight Show’ continues to be the late-night leader in all metrics, including ratings and social-media awareness. He’s in a class by himself, and we’re also looking forward to him hosting the Golden Globes in January. As a producer and star he delivers over 200 hours of television a year, and any suggestion that we have concerns about his behavior or have given him any kind of ‘warning’ is completely false.”

He delivers 200 hours of television a year! He can’t have a drug or alcohol problem! He’s beloved! Nothing to see here! Move along!

My, the denial runs deep with these people.

Notice that nobody is mentioning Jimmy’s little sniff sniff problem. That’s a whole ‘nother unfunny ball of wax.

By the way, the bar that we were talking about in the original blind item (and that is simply called a NYC punk bar in the article) is Manitoba’s. It’s located in the East Village and is one of Jimmy Fallon’s favorite bars for late night drinking… and bathroom sniffing.

Congratulations to Molly7111 for being first with the correct answer!

  8. Oh God not Jimmy Fallon again.

    What’s it going to take? As was reported (here I believe) last time, when he starts not showing up for work, which he did once (after the finger injury) and almost triggered an intervention by NBC.

    From what I remember from here, if he were to start not making it in for work, in shape to work, that would trigger all sorts of involvement but as long as he’s not missing and doing the show, nobody’s going to do anything. Sad.

  9. Jimmy Fallon

    If he can’t stop for his wife and kids, it will take his show going off the air or some kind of intervention.

  10. TV Guy: Jimmy Fallon

    [Optional] What is it going to take for him to stop? Losing his job… maybe… Little else I think.

  11. This has to be Jimmy Fallon
    So sad for his wife and kids. She should find the strength to take the kids and divorce him.

  12. Fallon.

    optional: he’d have to lose his job & get dragged the public ringer for starters. i think most the general public think he’s adorable & witty. possibly lose his family. he hasn’t hit anywhere near rock bottom (as far as has been reported/rumored). even then who knows? i feel bad for his family.

  14. TV Guy: Jimmy Fallon, AGAIN. The photo even looks like him!

    [Optional] What is it going to take for him to stop? Threaten to cancel his show!

  17. Probably Jimmy Fallon? I suppose as long as he shows up and does his job, no one is going to do anything. His wife could leave and the network could lean on him, but if he’s doing his job, she and the network both get the $$$ he generates. It would be amusing, though, to see him crash and burn live, on air, and be hauled away to rehab.

  24. Jimmy Fallon. He is ruining his life and will have a very public fall. Or, his wife will just divorce him and he can be drunk divorced dad with a drug problem and just keep on hosting the Tonight Show until he steps over the line finally too far with his NBC bosses. I think they will protect him until a new comic emerges to take his spot, and that is going to be really embarrassing for him.

  28. TV Guy: Jimmy Fallon

    It makes me really sad because I absolutely love him. It’s sad that so many “funny” people have such problems with drinking/drugs. Sigh. I don’t know how the hell they are doing to work rehab into HIS show! 🙁

  32. Jimmy Fallon – he partied it up after the debates until 3am according to sources at the bar. He danced, made the bartender hook up his phone to the sound system and played 90’s music. Apparently, he rejected photo requests that night from fans at the bar.

  33. Jimmy Fallon was spotted partying until 3am after the debate on Monday night.

    I think it would take him losing everything. His show, his wife, his kids, and his celebrity friends before he will ever clean up. He doesn’t think he has a problem and he surrounds himself with enablers. As long as that continues, so will the alcohol and substance abuse.

  35. Jimmy Fallon. it’s time to get that coke habit under control and go home to your family. Your children deserve to have sober father who is engaged in their lives.
    He’ll stop when he OD’s or finally hit rock bottom. The question should have been; if you were the wife would you hang in there, the answer to that is NO!
    Fallon, such a hot mess

  45. Jimmy Fallon

    Optional: When his drinking becomes a threat to his job and image. Then he’ll go to rehab.

  47. Jimmy Fallon…He needs to get busted by the police doing something “illegal” in a public place.

  48. Oh Jimmy Fallon, how hard you’ve fallen! Once a promising talent, he’s a sad case now. I just hope he gets treatment for the sake of his family.

    Optional: Getting fired, getting publicly humiliated, having his friends really be honest with him, I don’t know because unless he wants to change all of my ideas are useless.

  52. Tv Guy: Jimmy Fallon??

    Optional: He will have to hit rock bottom before he wakes up and stop his druggie ways.

  66. Jimmy Fallon, nothing will make him stop, except maybe dying, him and his enablers are full of excuses.

  69. Jimmy Fallon

    He’s not going to stop until something tragic lands him in rehab or the unemployment line….

  74. Jimmy Fallon

    Maybe his wife leaving him could be a wake up call….

    I feel bad for his 2 small children…..

  77. Jimmy Fallon.

    So many clues, too: 1) photo looks a little like him; 2) Multiple injuries over last couple of years; 3) “sniffles”, he had been watching the debates, where the Orange Idiot kept sniffing; 4) wife and small kids.

    I like Fallon. I hope he’s not an alcoholic.

  85. Drunk Jimmy Fallon staying out at Manitoba until 3a singing, dancing, and hugging people, but declining to take pictures.

    Clue: The guy in the picture is banged up and Jimmy has injured himself a couple times while intoxicated.

  86. I think the only reason Fallon is thus far getting away with it is because his personality is already kind of odd and goofy. But I have noticed his voice being hoarser and just an all a out departure from what I remember him being like. What an insult to Conan.

  92. Jimmy Fallon, the most obvious cokehead in the biz. Grow up, Jimmy. Grow up, get help, and actually think of your family for once.

  94. Jimmy Fallon. The sniffs refer to his cocaine habit. He’s going to crash, and in a serious way. All the people who keep saying, ” can’t a guy have fun, a few drinks is no big deal” are going to be reeling. I find it very sad. It’s like watching a slow motion train wreck.

  96. TV Guy: Jimmy Fallon

    What is it going to take for him to stop?
    Rock bottom, like it takes every addict, unfortunately. He’ll likely seek out rehab once NBC fires him.

  100. Ugh, Jimmy Fallon.
    I can’t even watch his show anymore. Sometimes he’s ok, other times I’m suprised he’s upright.
    Hollywood, stop enabling him!
