Saturday Night Live announced that new cast member Jenny Slate will not be fired after she said “fuckin” on live TV, during her very first SNL appearance.
While SNL aired live on the East Coast, producers bleeped Slate’s mistake with “freakin’” for West Coast airings.
Still, show executives were less than thrilled about Slate’s slip and had a big meeting after the show.
“It was a very big deal that the F-word hit the air,” the source said. Because the slip up occurred about 12:40 a.m., well after prime time, “SNL” is not expected to face fines from the FCC.
It defies belief that this show is still on the air with Lorne Michaels in charge. They have an army of writers and at best they produce one funny idea a week. This biker chick sketch is so awful and uncomfortable, they might as well have shown a 4 minute montage of little kids being told they have cancer.
TITZ?
I’d fuck Kristen Wiig, as long as she wasn’t doing that stupid Target lady voice. That shit sucks.
The F word means nothing today, Just like Ninjas calling themselves Nigg*rs…..
Well, they were just asking for trouble with that skit. It’s a wonder it didn’t happen more often.
ANYTHING is funnier than Megan Fox.
if it were possible to somehow have a negative number for the neilsen rating, SNL for the last 10+ years would be the one to do it. this show hasn’t been funny or worth more than 1 second of channel flipping time in a great while.
Were they able to dub in humor for the west coast audience?
Am I the only one who wants to beanbag DD’s cornhole?
I agree with DD. Aside from the Dick in a Box skit, I cant think of anything that has been worth a shit on that show.
Kids with cancer is always a crowd pleaser. Lorne Michaels is not.
I called it.
Watt indeed you did
what is next?
DB’s midget transgender bender on Jerry Springer with her possee of freaks of the week?
Blandon has a hell of a lot of nerve calling anyone unfunny.
If it weren’t for U2 as the musical guest, no one would have been tuned in and no one would have noticed.
The most unfunny SNL I’ve ever seen….absolutely horrible.
Next I’ll bet … Uh… LiLo
I dont think I have watched SNL since I was 11-12, and I dont think I have missed much.
Well done Watt. Dropping an F-bomb on SNL provokes a “big meeting”? How about holding a meeting to address the lack of humor. Tina Fey was the last talent to be there.
DB: please tell me that you at least considered throwing the midget instead of the bean bag.
I can’t remember the last time I watched SNL, I credit this to binge drinking at the local pubs for this streak
U2 was on SNL?
What do you know, I’m happy I got some sleep…
so did anyone actually watch this? was she funny?
