Mr. Seinfeld sent a statement to Rolling Stone after the article was published

 Mr. Seinfeld sent a statement to Rolling Stone after the article was published that said: “This is so stupid. I remember this moment quite well. I teased Jimmy about a flub, and we all had a fun laugh about how rarely Jimmy is thrown off. It was not uncomfortable at all. Jimmy and I still occasionally recall it and laugh.

Mr. Fallon took over hosting duties of “The Tonight Show,” the storied NBC institution that has existed since the 1950s, in 2014. His show immediately scored big ratings, a trend that continued even after CBS installed Stephen Colbert as David Letterman’s replacement on “The Late Show” in September 2015.

Mr. Fallon’s light-touch approach to the show — with an emphasis on singing, dancing and playing games — seemed to match the national mood.

Just naturally fresher.” Churgin and her husband, Sterling, farm seven of their 29 acres as the owners of Henpecked Husband Farms — a flower-growing operation that sells cut flowers wholesale and to clients who compose floral arrangements for events.  Raaya Churgin in the fl...
