We're going to expose which host makes more money. In addition, we will disclose what their reviews have been like in combination. Despite the festival between shows, it appears as though Fallon and Kimmel have an amicable courting.
That was once especially evidenced all through a hilarious prank that the two collaborated on. We'll divulge how it all went down, and what the separates the two late night hosts when it comes to wage.
Despite Their Competitive History, Jimmy Kimmel And Jimmy Fallon Have An Amicable Relationship
Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon have long past up towards each and every other for late night ratings for years now. However, despite the pageant, the two have an amicable relationship in the back of the scenes. That was especially glaring after the two once swapped shows for an April Fools joke. The two took things a step additional and didn't even notify the networks about the stunt. Jimmy Fallon himself published to feeling worried about it all, especially given that he isn't one to tug a lot of these pranks.
"I’m not really a prank guy, so I didn’t know if we could pull this off. Like, two seconds before they announced me, I was nervous. I was like, “I hope they like me.”
He continues, "We double-taped our show Wednesday, and then I got on a airplane and landed round 1 a.m. Seven hours later, Jimmy and [Kimmel’s wife and show co-head author] Molly [McNearney] were waiting in the automobile parking space to greet me. We were given into hair and make-up and began filming. After that, they flew right away to New York."
The prank proved to be a big hit, though it was an adjustment period for both hosts, especially given how differently things run behind the scenes on their shows, despite the similarities in terms of structure.
Turns out that not only are the two competitive, but the same holds true with their salaries with one host barely edging out the other.
Jimmy Kimmel Is Among The Top Late Night Show Earners, With A Salary Of $15 Million
Both Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are among the elite in terms of pays in the late night scene. Stephen Colbert also falls under this category. At the moment, Jimmy Kimmel is sitting on a massive salary worth $15 million, and it remains to be seen what the terms might look like once his contract expires if he chooses to continue. Although the gig is a prestigious one, it also comes with a tough schedule.
Kimmel also contemplated leaving his job at one point in time, and walking away from his massive salary. This took place during Donald Trump's Presidential run. Kimmel was asked to tone down the jokes in regards to Donald Trump, however, the host wasn't willing to do so, and contemplated leaving if this was a necessity.
"I just mentioned, ‘If that’s what you need to do, I perceive and I don’t begrudge you for it, but I’m no longer going to do this. So if you want any person else to host the show, then that’s nice. That’s OK with me. I’m simply not going to do it like that’ … I have lost part of my lovers — possibly more than that,” he published.
Kimmel ended up staying on board and the jabs at Donald Trump haven't stopped although he's out of energy.
Jimmy Fallon Barely Edges Out Jimmy Fallon With A $16 Million Salary
Jimmy Fallon does have the edge on Jimmy Kimmel, with a wage of $16 million. However, it is still noticed what the long run holds for the late night host after 14 employees called Fallon's workplace setting, "toxic."
Fallon did issue a statement apologizing, whilst NBC made a remark of their own on the subject.
“We are extremely proud of The Tonight Show, and providing a respectful working environment is a top priority. As in any administrative center, we have had employees lift issues; those have been investigated and action has been taken the place suitable. As is all the time the case, we inspire employees who feel they have skilled or noticed conduct inconsistent with our policies to document their issues so that we might deal with them accordingly.”
Given Fallon's pricey deal, letting the late show host move would no longer have been a convenient resolution for NBC, especially given the $16 million in keeping with yr contract, in conjunction with paying a brand new host a major wage. NBC made up our minds to give Fallon the good thing about the doubt, even though it remains to be observed what his deal will seem like as soon as the current one expires, and if he will still be making more than his counterpart, Jimmy Kimmel.
