Hollywood writers’ strike. However, a “Tonight Show” insider told The Post that neither Fallon, 48, nor “Late Night” host Seth Meyers, 49 — whom Kobos later mentioned — are typically not in those production meetings.The Writers Guild of America (WGA) announced in the wee hours Tuesday that its 11,500 screenwriter members in California, New York and other cities will refuse to work after the union and studios failed to agree on a new three-year contract after their current one expired just after midnight.In the wake of the strike, Fallon’s “The Tonight Show,” “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “Late Night With Seth Meyers” have all been shut down.On Tuesday, Kobos, a non-union member who is not striking, quote tweeted a video of Fallon at the Met Gala on Monday night, in which he told Variety: “I wouldn’t have a show if it wasn’t for my writers, I support them all the way.“They got to have a fair contract and they got a lot of stuff to iron out and hopefully, they get it done,” he added. “… whatever I can do to support the Guild,” Fallon claimed. “I am actually in the Writers Guild as well.”However, Kobos took issue with his supposed show of solidarity.“He wasn’t even at the meeting this morning to tell us we won’t get paid after this week,” Kobos reacted to Fallon’s interview. “@jimmyfallon please support your staff.

Had fun bowling with ya last week, but a fun party won’t pay my rent.”“Staff AND crew***** I should say!” she added in another tweet.
