SNL Jenny Slate Drop The F-Bomb During Her Debut

Source: blogywoodbabes.blogspot.com

Oops! For those who missed it on Saturday night (or are not on the east coast) because you have a social life, new SNLer Jenny Slate managed to do something in her first-ever sketch that hadn't been done on the show in 28 years. The season premiere of SNL was over the weekend. Megan Fox hosted and U2 was the musical guest and new cast member Jenny Slate dropped the F-bomb during the live broadcast. But no big deal, folks need to relax. It happened at around 12:43 A.M. EST when everyone who were watching already forgot that SNL was on. In her first appearance on Saturday Night Live, during a sketch titled "Biker Chick Chat" which extensively featured the euphemism "frickin', Slate instead accidentally used the word "fuckin." Slate puffed her cheeks in a whoops expression after her slip. But we hear good news for Slate though, executive producer Lorne Michaels won't fire her. The Washington Post report:

Lorne Michaels, the show’s executive producer, said from New York late yesterday that the moment was especially traumatic for Slate because “it was literally her first time on the show. There was nothing dirty, just a slip of the tongue. It was ‘frickin’, frickin’, frickin’ ‘ and then boom! The pain that Jenny is going through is, I’m sure, considerably worse than that experienced by anybody who saw it.”

In the sketch, Slate and Kristin Wiig play biker chicks, and instead of saying "friggin'" or "freakin'" or any of the other substitutes they were supposed to use, Slate actually uttered the words "and I fuckin' love you for that." See the video below. The whoops look on her face after she just realizes what she did is even more priceless than the F-bomb itself. The last time this happened was in 1981, when the late Charles Rocket, disgruntled over his departure from the show, inserted the F-bomb as a parting gift to then executive producer Dick Ebersol. Either that or he was fired for using the f-word. Anyway, in Slate's case it was an honest mistake so firing her would be too harsh. But eveyone was talking about it on Monday so she did win big from the publicity because no one knew who she was last week. Click to play video.

Gov. Sarah Palin Confirmed for Saturday Night Live

Source: blogywoodbabes.blogspot.com

It's official: Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin is doing Saturday Night Live. The McCain campaign confirmed the Alaska Governor will make a guest appearance on this weekend's SNL show with host Josh Brolin. For the past few weeks, Tina Fey has been doing an interesting impersonation of Gov. Sarah Palin which the governor has been taking in stride. Today we learn Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is scheduled to travel to New York this Saturday for an appearance on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in what will certainly be the highest rating show ever.


"Saturday Night Live" has enjoyed a ratings surge this fall thanks to the heated attention surrounding the election and Gov. Sarah Palin. The show's ratings are up by more than 40 percent compared to the first few weeks of last season, drawing 9 million viewers per week for original episodes (last week's show was a rerun). A pair of "Weekend Update" Thursday specials have averaged 9.6 million viewers over the past two weeks.

Sarah Palin discussed her upcoming "Saturday Night Live" appearance on Friday, telling Neal Boortz in a radio interview that she does not know what the late-night sketch comedy show has lined up for her while adding that it is a chance to "rise above the political shots that we take."

"I haven't seen a script -- not at all. They haven't even hinted about what that script is going to say," said Palin.

"But you know," she said, "I just want to be there to show Americans that we will rise above the political shots that we take because we're in this serious business for serious challenges that are facing the good American people right now. That's why we're campaigning hard. That's why we're working hard."

Asked if she is going to play Tina Fey, the actress who has been skewering the Alaska governor's debate performances and television interviews, Palin said, "I should. That's a good idea."

She then added: "Oh, I don't know what they have lined up."

Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama have each made appearances on "SNL" during the long campaign, as has Obama's rival for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Hillary Clinton. That leaves Obama's running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, as the odd man out in the "Saturday Night Live" club so far. But there are two more live shows before Election Day.
