Jenny Slate Fired:Lorne Michaels Goes Easy On Jenny Slate
Jenny Slate Fired:Lorne Michaels Goes Easy On Jenny Slate:NBC says it will not fire new Saturday Night Live cast member Jenny Slate for dropping the F-word during the show’s season premiere on Saturday night.
Jenny Slate dropped the ‘f-bomb’ on Saturday Night Live last night. An apparent slip of tongue came from Jenny Slate, and her partner in the skit didn’t even seem to notice and just kept going.
The Brooklyn funny lady, Tehran-born, raised in California comedian, and SNL newbie has attracted a lot of attention when she dropped an f-bomb, apparently by accident. She was in the middle of a SNL skit when she let go of a sentence; “You stood up for yourself, and I f—ing love you for that.”
Over the years, people have been fired for saying these things on live TV, including Charles Rocket in 1981 and Norm MacDonald in 1997. No news yet on if Jenny Slate is being fired for her slip of the tongue.
In the sketch, Slate and Kristin Wiig play biker chicks, and instead of saying “friggin’” 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 look on her face after she just realizes what she did is even more priceless than the f-bomb itself: Full Video
