Who Will Come Back From #MeToo Accusations?

Published September 13, 2018 4:44am ET



Norm Macdonald got himself uninvited from the Tonight Show on Tuesday for appearing to undermine #MeToo in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. He said he was happy that the pace of controversy seemed to be “slowing down” and revealed that he was still sympathetic to his scandal-ridden friends Louis C.K. and Roseanne Barr.

Jimmy Fallon called Macdonald Tuesday night before they were set to film a segment to promote his new non-political talk show, saying he had senior producers “crying” over Macdonald’s disregard for the movement—which, to be fair, definitely hasn’t slowed down from the perspective of network TV producers: CBS chairman Les Moonves just exited his post over mounting allegations of sexual harassment, and, also on Wednesday, the executive producer for 60 Minutes resigned for “violating company policy.”
