Jimmy Fallon Rumors: Does The TV Host Have A Drinking Problem? [VIDEO]
While everybody’s having a great start this year, the Tonight Show host unfortunately was reported that he suffered two gruesome hand injuries and a chipped tooth -- but his bosses at NBC aren’t worried, Entertainment Tonight reveals.
As NBC entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt spoke to reporters at 2016 Winter TCA Press Tour on Wednesday, denying reports that Fallon has been partying too hard. Greenblatt said the late night host “doesn’t have a drinking problem that any of us know about."

“He goes out and has fun. He’s had some accidents,” Greenblatt said of Fallon after his annual press conference. “Aside from that, he’s in better shape than he’s ever been.”
It’s not only the first time that the 40-year-old host suffered injuries, way back in June of last year, he fell and caught his left ring finger on a counter, causing him to almost lose the digit. He later chipped a tooth when trying to open a tube of scar tissue repair gel for the injury, which he later shared on Instagram and poked fun at the incident.

It looks like Fallon is not having the best of luck with his hands, last October, he also suffered another slight injury that caused the cancellation of his taping after he tripped and fell while accepting an award at Harvard University in Cambridge, People reports.

"I went to the ER and I said, 'I tripped holding a bottle of Jagermeister,’” he joked afterwards. “They said, 'OK, we have a whole waiting room for people who trip and fall with Jagermeister.’”
According to Entertainment Tonight, despite Fallon’s joker side, Greenblatt added that NBC is “always worried” about the Tonight Show host’s health and safety.
“There’s been conversations about that,” he admitted. “The stories are exaggerated about all of it. I don’t know to what extent. I haven’t been part of it. I don’t have those conversations with Jimmy Fallon.”
