<\/p>\n
Jimmy Fallon<\/strong>‘s spinning quite the story about the creator of the Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/strong> puppet he uses on the ‘Tonight Show’ … at least according to the guy, who says he had nothing to do with shutting down one of Jimmy’s skits.<\/p>\n Here’s the deal … Jimmy told the tale on his new podcast, “Strike Force Five” — which he launched with fellow late-night talk show hosts Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong>, Stephen Colbert<\/strong>, Seth Meyers<\/strong>, and John Oliver<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the pod’s premiere episode, Jimmy said Timoth\u00e9e wasn’t a fan of the look-alike doll, and the plan was to have the actor destroy the puppet during a ‘Tonight Show’ appearance … that is until Chris Alan<\/strong>, the puppet creator, chimed in and said he was offended. According to Jimmy, the whole bit was then scrapped.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Chris tells us he was shocked when he heard Jimmy on the podcast because according to him, it’s 100% false. He says no one reached out to him about killing the puppet … and, if they had, he wouldn’t care, because the ‘Tonight Show’ bought it from him.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now, he does say he had a convo with Timoth\u00e9e’s team when the “Dune” star was going to be a ‘Tonight Show’ guest in 2019. Chris says they planned to flip the script on the host with a Fallon puppet.<\/p>\n Chris whipped one up in just 3 weeks time, but at the last minute Timoth\u00e9e’s team scrapped the whole idea.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Obviously, we’re not talking capital crimes here, but in fairness to Chris … he feels like Jimmy’s podcast tale is painting him as a villain.<\/p>\n Y’know the ole saying … puppets, the root of all evil.<\/p>\n
