NEW YORK (AP) — MrBeast is accused of creating “unsafe” employment conditions and misrepresenting contestants’ odds at winning his new Amazon reality show’s $5 million grand prize. That is according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday by five unnamed participants. The filing alleges that MrBeast failed to provide minimum wages, overtime pay, uninterrupted meal breaks and rest time for competitors. It also says that “limited sustenance” endangered their health and that production staff created a “toxic” work environment for women who faced “sexual harassment” throughout the contest. A spokesperson for MrBeast told The Associated Press that he had no comment.

NEW YORK (AP) — The longtime host of “The Late Show with David Letterman” made it to the final cuts before getting knocked off a jury about to hear a criminal trial involving cryptocurrency. Letterman, who stepped down from his show in 2015, was serving a stint on jury duty in Manhattan federal court Monday and came close to being picked for the first time for a jury. It was at the trial of a man charged with participating in a cryptocurrency fraud that caused over $10 million in losses to more than 20 victims. Letterman made it to a final round before being excused from the jury late in the day.
