Late-night TV host Jimmy Fallon has been on the hot seat after allegations of a toxic workplace on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and that has led to social media discussion of the star’s past behavior. Erin Overbey, archive editor for The New Yorker, has made headlines by reposting an excerpt about Jimmy from Tina Fey’s 2011 memoir Bossypants.

Overbey posted on Twitter/X that Tina had Jimmy “dead to rights” when Tina described a brief interaction between Fallon and Amy Poehler over two decades earlier. At the time, all three comedians were working on Saturday Night Live.
But some folks are taking the excerpt and Overbey’s comment to mean that Amy Poehler and Jimmy Fallon dislike one another. So what actually happened, and is it a legitimate feud? Here’s what’s been said.

Amy Poehler and Jimmy Fallon had a tense interaction while on ‘Saturday Night Live.’
In Bossypants, Tina describes a moment between Jimmy and Amy that took place in the Saturday Night Live writers’ room. “She did something vulgar as a joke,” Fey wrote. “I can’t remember what it was exactly, but it was dirty and loud and ‘unladylike.’ Jimmy Fallon…turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, ‘Stop that! It’s not cute. I don’t like it.’”
According to Tina, Amy’s response was quick and blunt. The future Parks & Recreation star “went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. ‘I don’t fucking care if you like it.’ Jimmy was visibly startled.”

The tweeted excerpt doesn’t include any further exchange between the two performers. Amy departed SNL in the middle of 2008 to star in Parks & Rec, while Jimmy stayed with the show until 2004.

Tina Fey has responded by denying that there was any feud between Amy Poehler and Jimmy Fallon.
While many TV fans have taken the republishing of this story as a sign that Amy and Jimmy don’t get along, Tina has spoken out to clarify that it really wasn’t a big deal. Per USA Today, Tina responded to Erin’s tweet saying that “Jimmy and Amy are very good friends and there was never any real beef between them.”
Amy has also appeared on The Tonight Show, which further suggests that there isn’t any ongoing drama between her and Jimmy.

While neither Amy nor Jimmy has commented on the resurfaced Bossypants story specifically, Jimmy continues to deal with the fallout from the Rolling Stone article in which several employees claimed that he made The Tonight Show a toxic workplace.

Jerry Seinfeld has since rebutted the anecdote that he once told Jimmy to apologize to a staff member. The Seinfeld star called it “stupid” in a statement to the publication, saying, “It was not uncomfortable at all… Idiotic twisting of events.”
The Rolling Stone allegations have sparked plenty of discussion about Jimmy’s behavior both on and off-camera, but this particular tweet doesn’t appear to substantiate any feud between Amy and Jimmy—especially with the author of the quoted piece specifically saying that the two are still friends.
A TikToker recalled a strange interaction with a restaurant customer, where the guest asks the host and waitress for $50 to cover his dinner bill.

On TikTok, user @sassyserver0529, whose real name is Steph Carlisle, uses the platform to share horror stories from her time working in the restaurant industry. Needless to say, her tales are very bizarre.

In a TikTok video posted on Sept. 24, 2023, Steph recalled a time when a guest asked the host and the waitress for $50 to cover their bill. The interaction with the customer named Mr. Williams started innocently enough. Here’s what went down.

The customer, Mr. Williams, entered and the restaurant the host approached him like normal. The host asked the man if he would be dining as a party of two, but the man suggested he was meeting another couple for dinner at the restaurant. “We’re meeting another couple here and I fully intend on them paying the tab tonight. But should they not, can you spot me $50?” the customer asked. Adding, “I’m dead serious. Money has been really tight lately. Can you spot me the $50 just in case?”

An hour into the meal, Mr. Williams asked the host a second time to borrow $50 but she denied his request. “I do not have $50 I can spot you,” the host said. “If money has been tight then please don’t dine out.” Mr. Williams then said he would ask the waitress to lend him the money, but the meal was later paid for by the other couple. The ordeal has gotten TikTokers up in arms, as most are siding with the restaurant workers who refused to let Mr. Williams borrow $50.

The internet agrees that Mr. Williams should pay his own bill.
Most of the internet seems to agree that Mr. Williams should be responsible for his own restaurant bill. The video has garnered more than 10,000 views, as TikTokers are shocked that Mr. Williams would ask employees at the restaurant he was eating at for $50.

And while Mr. Williams was a regular at the establishment, others pointed out that he appeared to be overly comfortable with the staff at the restaurant.

Meanwhile, others made their point very clear, suggesting that Mr. Williams should avoid dining at restaurants if he can’t pay the bill. Steph even replied to a commenter and explained that Mr. Williams’s request was “the most outlandish thing anyone has ever asked.”

And of course, there was one person who wanted to know why Steph didn’t lend Mr. Williams $50. Asking, “So why didn’t ya?” Really? What would this person do if they were put in the same situation?

Other servers have gotten even stranger requests from customers.
Steph isn’t the first restaurant employee to receive a strange request from a customer. In June, TikToker Mitchell Todd (who goes by @mitchii.moo on the platform) recalled a weird encounter with a customer. The incident occurred during a brunch shift at the restaurant where Mitchell works. The customer, who Mitchell said was “extremely attractive,” was polite at first. Mitchel admits to being flirty with the customer during their interaction, which may have prompted the strange request.

“He’s like ‘I have a weird request. I was wondering if you could spit in my food?’” the man asked. Mitchell denied the man’s request and explained that it was against company policy to spit on someone’s food. Mitchell suggested that the man ask the restaurant manager if the spitting would be OK, and the manager obliged.
A woman describes being on a Carnival cruise during an unexpected and unexplained blackout and there may be a good reason for this.
If you ever needed another reason not to take a vacation on a cruise, then one woman’s TikTok about a blackout in the middle of the ocean may do it for you. A user by the name of @nieceeb41 shared a video in which she says she and her travel companions “experienced a blackout” with no warning and no information on what was happening in the moment.

I am in the camp of preferring my vacations on land, where I have the ability to leave if there is an emergency. So, to hear of a Carnival Horizon cruise stopping in the middle of the ocean and cutting all power is a literal nightmare. In her video, the TikTok user doesn’t explain why the cruise blackout happened, but she does give a firsthand account of what it was like.

A Carnival cruise’s blackout caused panic among the guests.
In her video, the creator explains that she and the other guests aboard a Carnival Horizon cruise, which had set sail for Aruba, were covered in almost complete darkness. She says that low emergency lights were turned on in the hallways, but that, without warning from a captain or any staff, the power cut off and she and other guests aboard the ship had no clue what happened. Again I say, literal nightmare.
“Tonight, just a few seconds ago, we experienced a blackout, a complete blackout,” she says in the TikTok. “And guess what? Nobody was explaining anything, we got no announcement, no nothing. People in the hallway [were] confused, they had emergency lights on at the bottom [of the hallway walls]… Nobody knows nothing. What is going on, Carnival?”

If this were a standard power outage, apparently the actual danger is minimal. Cruise ships, including those owned by Carnival, are equipped with high-powered generators. They can turn power back on for lighting, get elevators back up and running, keep communication lines open, and even power the engines.

But, because the TikToker doesn’t explain why the blackout happened on the Carnival cruise in the video or any videos after it, we don’t have any answers as to what happened or how things progressed once the staff inevitably informed the guests what was going on. Luckily, other people who have been on cruises or even worked on them have some ideas about why there was an unexplained blackout on the ship.
Cruises are often in danger of pirates on the open ocean.
Most of the comments under the TikTok video claim that the cruise ship likely went dark and, therefore, silent in the middle of the ocean because of pirates. If a smaller ship was spotted nearby, it would make sense for the ship to cut power at night and turn off the sounds that pirates could detect.

“If they announced [a blackout], the pirates would hear them,” one user commented. “Keep an open mind. Most ships don’t just have a blackout.”

Another person agreed, “Sounds like they saw pirates out there… They are indeed out there and the ships have protocols for them.”
While some of the comments explain that “pirates are real,” others show that people who prefer not to go on cruises are happily justified in their decisions. And with no answers about the blackout and the danger of pirates on the ocean, you can have your cruises.

There is something to be said about people being attracted to a person’s sense of humor. Whenever people list off what they’d like in a life partner, many times a “sense of humor” or “funny” is at the top of the list for most desired qualities.
That’s why it makes so much sense that famous comedians have dated some of the most beautiful Hollywood actors and models. Funny guy David Spade is no exception to that. David was one of the most well-known comedians in the 1990s after he first appeared on Saturday Night Live. David’s successful and lengthy career has helped him to earn a net worth estimated at $40 million, but does he have a wife to share his fortune with? Has David ever been married?

He told The New York Times, “It’s very hard for me, for various reasons, which we won’t get into. Too much data, too many gigabytes. But I have been trying to do that. I’ve known someone for a long time. I’ve been trying to make something work.”
David Spade’s list of ex-girlfriends is long and blonde.
David has dated numerous actors and celebrities, including Heather Locklear, Lara Flynn Boyle, Julie Bowen, Teri Hatcher, and Naya Rivera, just to name a few. E!

In 2016, David was seen out with Baywatch‘s Charlotte McKinney. Their outing caused a lot of speculation and rumors, but nothing was confirmed. A few years later, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he admitted that he was still single.

David spilled his true feelings about fatherhood in his tell-all book.
David explained more about his dad and wrote, “This one’s going to be a little tricky — this is a chapter about my dad, and the way that it fits into this audiobook is I’m a dad now. And the difference – and why it caused some complications with my own dad — is because he was sort of a ne’er-do-well, which is putting it mildly. I think f–k up is more on the nose.”

He continued, “So when I had [Harper], I got this new tidal wave of resentment towards my dad because of his irresponsible behavior and manipulative mean streak. So I stopped talking to him.”
It’s still a mystery as to if David will settle down with anyone, but he remains a dedicated father and one of the best comedians in his craft. Fans will just have to wait and see.
