"SNL" NEWBIE DROPS THE F-BOMB ON AIR
(NBC WASHINGTON)
This past Saturday was the season premiere for the newest season of the classic late night laugh-fest, Saturday Night Live. I was sitting on the couch with a few friends, sipping a Coke and discussing the nasty injury of Tim Tebow only hours before. We paused our conversation during "Biker Chick Chat," a new sketch featuring one of SNL's newest players, Jenny Slate, with comedy vetern Kristin Wiig. It started off normally enough, if not a bit redundant with all the "freakin' this" and "freakin' that." And that's when IT happened -- the slip-up that is every performers worst nightmare. She dropped the F-bomb loud, clear and on live television. After utilizing our TiVo's rewind mechanism at least twenty-seven times, we were abuzz with what had just happened. Naturally, the censors were unable to react so quickly and the entire east coast heard her blunder.
According to the article, "Whether Slate's expletive was intentional wasn't clear, but the actress did puff out her cheeks after the swear word to indicate her embarrassment and apparent regret at her slip-up." I feel like it's fairly obvious that she wouldn't swear on air on purpose. Especially considering she had been saying "freakin'" so many times, it seems like a natural diction accident. Yet, many have been quick to attack this, calling Slate "foul mouthed." It was a verbal gaffe and nothing more. Currently, it is unknown whether or not disciplinary action will be taken against Slate.
Let it go, America, we all make freakin' mistakes.
