Jimmy Fallon is undergoing some major scrutiny after inviting controversial MMA fighter Conor McGregor on a recent episode of The Tonight Show.
Formerly known as the UFC's biggest star in the mid to late 2010s, the 37-year-old McGregor has been embroiled in several serious controversies over the past few years.
Perhaps most seriously, the former UFC champion was found liable for the 2018 sexual assault of Nikita Hand, one of several prominent scandals involving the polarizing MMA veteran (via EPSN).
Despite these serious allegations and various legal battles over his behavior, McGregor was invited to appear on The Tonight Show to promote his upcoming return to the ring. At UFC 329 on July 11, the 37-year-old will compete in his first MMA match since 2021, brawling against fellow UFC veteran Max Holloway.
Though McGregor discussed a variety of topics on The Tonight Show with host Jimmy Fallon, much of viewers' scrutiny surrounded what went unsaid, with many calling out NBC, Fallon and the backstage crew of The Tonight Show for inviting McGregor onto the show in the first place.
"As an Irish person who has been watching Fallon for many years now and always loved him, I won't be watching him anymore," one irate fan wrote on YouTube. "I'm absolutely disgusted and sickened to the pit of my stomach that you would have this despicable monster on your show. I can't fathom how anyone thought having this vile, total embarrassment, to Ireland on the show was a good idea."
"So accusations ruin lives, but convictions get you a gig on a late night show?" said another fan. "This is gross."
"So this is the message we’re sending to young boys? That you can abuse women and still be welcomed as a guest on a major talk show? Great example, Jimmy," echoed a third.
Other prominent critics of Fallon's decision was '90s super star Christina Ricci, who reshared a post on her Instagram denouncing McGregor's interview on The Tonight Show.
"“Why the absolute f**k is this piece of human garbage being given a platform on Jimmy Fallon’s show?" the reshared post read. "Shame on you, Jimmy.”
