The good news for Big Terrific co-host Jenny Slate is that the morning after her Saturday Night Live debut, everyone is talking about her ad-libbing skills. The bad news is that the talk is around whether Slate might be fired or punished after accidentally dropping an F-bomb on the show's season premiere last night. You can see Slate immediately realize what she's just done in the clip below.
"You can take the girl outta Brooklyn..." The sketch that Slate was in was called "Biker Chick Chat" where the characters would use the word "frickin" throughout, inviting the unfortunate slip of the tongue. Head writer and longtime cast member Seth Meyers was hugging Jenny as she gave her first goodbye wave at the end of the show. Hopefully no press is bad press, right? Slate dropped an f-bomb when she and comedy partner Gabe Liedman talked with Gothamist a few months ago.

this snl season debut was so bad, nothing funny, everything trite and predictable, megan fox is very good looking and that's all she has, the two new cast members didn't make an impression at all, lorne is losing it, why did he get rid of michaela watkins? she's good at impersonations and has presence, why let her go? stupid decision, and even U2 (the so-so saving grace of the show) seemed tired and played two newer blah songs and then playing ultraviolet last with rolling credits? and the sight of Bono swinging from the mic with his elevator shoes (the guy is short and needs them) was the funniest thing, poor Bono, seems less of the rock star these days
Why does everyone think Megan Fox is so hot? She is selfish self prick with average looks IMO.
MEGAN FOX IS BORING AS SHIT but most humans are boring sheep and find boring sheep attractive. Her looks are personality-free. I find her totally unattractive and wish more people could see thru bullshit like this. (The fact that she's dumb and boring make her even less attractive.) C'mon sheep! You can do better than this! (Kirsten Dunst... give me a call!)
you're right, she's a selfish idiot but she's a hot selfish idiot.
IF I WAS JENNY'S MANAGER, I'd tell her -- if she's not fired -- to DELIBERATELY drop the F-bomb ONE MORE TIME.
This would make the story INTERnational, next time, and she could then tour the world doing her OWN stuff (which is infinitely smarter and funnier than anything SNL has ever done).
SNL is a graveyard for wit and brains. MAKE YOUR MARK, Jenny, and then SPLIT! Lorne Michaels is the dumbest man in comedy history. He's the W. Bush of tv: "successful" and "evil".
If you can swear non-stop on PUBLIC tv, the FCC can't restrain it on SNL either!
TAKE A STAND against censorship, Jenny, AND make yourself super-famous at the same time. (NBC should give her a raise. I didn't even know there was a new season of this sad show.)
i dont see a big deal. SNL is on when most "little innocents" are supposed to be in bed. a cuss every now and again shouldn't be a big deal around midnight
The big deal is once tv knows they can get away with it, you will hear bad language all of the time. As for Megan Fox, I'm no fan of hers but she is beautiful although she could use a few pounds.
they say "asshole" & "dick" on USA all the time.
pleeease! "keep f*ckin that chicken" was way worse. at least this was in context.
Stupid frickin FCC law. Hate speech is tolerated but "Fuck", which BTW, where would we be with it?, is a crime. Stupid.
"everyone is talking about her ad-libbing skills"
Lorne likes ad-libbing? He seems like such a control-freak...
Debut fail. As 'edgy' and 'out there' SNL likes to appear to be, you can be sure that Lorne was pisssssed off. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see much of Slate for the rest of the season as punishment.
I was always under the impression that saturday night live was not actually live and that it was taped earlier in the day. not to mention the fact that if it was live they usually have a 5 minute tape delay to catch these off the cuff mistakes. curiouser and curiouser.
The new episodes of SNL each season were always done live. They would tape the dress rehearsal in the afternoon just in case anything happened. A few years ago Ashlee Simpson walked off SNL and they had to cut to commercial to cover her walk off.
I always thought that live shows like SNL were on a few second delay so that the network could have control in case anything major happened.
Time to retire this show. It is no longer funny. They're too scared or brainwashed these days. They could get in a couple of funny rips on Obama or Biden, but refuse to do so.
Keep fuckin' that chicken, Jenny!
It's because the show's producers are so terrified of offending advertizers that these casts can barely utter the word damn without a late-night phone call from Don Ohlmeyer or some other elderly network P.O.S. What made the show so great back then was how it was in sync with everyone out there. Now it's like bad watered-down Catskills routines...in Autumn...in 2009.
if they'd really want to make fun of biker chicks, they would have. have you seen some of them? it's as weird as a subculture as pimps and hoes.
Oh c'mon, that was such a blatantly planned publicity stunt I feel like I should be paid for talking about it.
Happened to have had it on in the background, thought that's what she said. Big deal, probably set up to draw ratings. The show was basically benign, mundane, unimpressive and not memorable. Shoulda had on MythBusters reruns. Much more entertaining.
They get all these people from UCB, where most of the improv sketches last about 1 or 2 minutes before they change subjects. That's the case with a lot of SNL skits, the problem being they try to stretch them out to 4 or 5 minutes, but only the first two minutes are funny.
If you can't curse you need to be inventive. Thats why most improv degenerates into bathroom humor. The show is only as strong as the talent, of which there is none.
SNL used to be a great show in the 70s. If you ever get to see some of the original skits that made the show successful, like with Richard Pryar. Talk about edgy! I cant' even imagine them doing a show like that now-a-days.
Today everyone is so afraid of pissing off the advertisers, and losing money that it's turning into a mediocre hour of unfunny, and forced bad humor. At least Jimmy Fallon laughed at every joke he ever told because really no one else would.
Conan and David Letterman has more of an edge than SNL does. Family Guy is probably the edgiest show on TV right now, and in my opinion the MOST funny.
Can we please all agree to stop saying "F-bomb"? Seriously, it makes you sound infantile. Do you also say private parts and S-word?
The word is fuck. We all know it and use it and hear it. It's just a fucking word. Does anyone in 2009 really care that someone on TV said fuck?
I'm embarrassed for all of us that this is news.
