Working people unite! Now is the time to seize the moment! Now is the time to stand up against the wealthy elites who have dictated our lives, dictated our endless struggles, and worst of all, have been enabling that asshole Jimmy Fallon to continue being on TV after all these years!
Talking over guests, breaking character during skits, that fucking fake laugh, etc. The working people of this country don’t deserve this, and we are fed up. NBC pays him $16 million annually to further tarnish the sanctity of the “Tonight Show” night after night, while a single mother of 3 in Detroit busts her ass on an assembly line just to barely afford a slice of whatever they consider to be “pizza” in Detroit on her lunch break. And that same woman should be able to enjoy the “Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade” with her children without being subjected to his phony ass lip-synching to Mariah Carey songs. Alas, she among millions of other hard-working Americans fell victim and continues to fall, victim, to his vile charade.
By all accounts, Fallon is a scourge on everyone around him. He’s abusive to his staff, a drunkard. Given the opportunity, I’m willing to wager he’d most certainly rely on child labor to hold his cue cards, and to write jokes just to have him butcher the delivery if he thought it would improve his “I’m just a cutesy giggly sensitive guy” image.
Sure, he “apologized” for creating a toxic work environment for several former staff members, but what he didn’t do was the right thing and step down from “The Tonight Show.” He didn’t because his bottom line is more important than your well-being. You’re just a number to Jimmy, don’t you forget it.
I’m not trying to say the over-saturation of a comedian I don’t like is on par with wage theft or election tampering. I’m saying it’s directly under those things in terms of importance. Besides, unlike those other two problems, all we need to do to fix it is get a TV show canceled, this is one we can win people!
Just imagine a world in which there were no more Sunday afternoon TV broadcasts of “Fever Pitch,” no more furiously bad celebrity impressions, or a world free of any more “oh my god, that’s sooooooo crazy!”s during interviews. Can you picture a world in which a place like, I’ll say, Peoria can be free of the shackles of wage slavery AND having to see that giddy class traitor trying desperately to play to them? This is the future we owe to ourselves, our children, and to Johnny Carson’s legacy. Move on over Jimmy, or we’ll move on over you.
