Steven Hyde’s confident declaration that he’d be in prison one day has come true for the actor who portrayed him. Danny Masterson, best known for his run on That ‘70s Show, was sentenced to 30 years to life for two rape charges earlier today. This maximum sentence came after a 2022 mistrial and a subsequent retrial.
Elsewhere, a handful of Tonight Show staffers have come out to describe the hellish conditions of working for Jimmy Fallon. While 16 current and former staffers spoke their truth to Rolling Stone, Jerry Seinfeld quickly came to Fallon’s defense. One instance saw two staffers describing an uncomfortable situation where Fallon scolded a crew member in charge of the cue cards, which then prompted Seinfeld to encourage Fallon to apologize to the crew member. Upon reading the Rolling Stone piece, Seinfeld wrote into the publication saying, “This is so stupid. I remember this moment quite well… I teased Jimmy about a flub, and we all had a fun laugh about how rarely Jimmy is thrown off. It was not uncomfortable at all. Jimmy and I still occasionally recall it and laugh. Idiotic twisting of events.”
Seinfeld’s statement is likely the first of many that will roll out as Fallon joins Ellen DeGeneres on the Mount Rushmore of horrible bosses.
In-between toxic Hollywood behavior, the timeline has lightened the mood with some more funny tweets, including those about an uninspired playlist, a misleading headline and the consequences of taking your bird on a walk.
