Jenny Slate: Fired Over SNL Slip?

 

Saturday Night Live newcomer Jenny Slate got a little too comfortable and broke outta character during her "Biker Chicks Chat" sketch on SNL's season premiere.

Jenny and her co-star said "friggin'" repeatedly in every sentence and then Jenny dropped the F-bomb and said "f*cking" instead of friggin. Call the po po! This is serious!

Viewers on the East Coast heard it live, but the word was scrubbed from broadcasts in the Midwest and West.

Slate probably shouldn’t worry too much about her job. SNL producer Lorne Michaels, who called it “an actor’s worst nightmare,” tells the Washington Post that “the pain that Jenny is going through is, I’m sure, considerably worse than that experienced by anybody who saw it.”

Is Jenny really in "pain?" More like in embarrassment and dropping a lot of F-bombs to her friends and family as she tries to explain what happened.

I curse a lot and I'm not an actor, so I'd have no chance on SNL. I can't remember who told me, but you have to go through about 12 rounds of auditions before anyone will even possibly give you a chance to audition for the show!!!! So I'm guessing that she deserves to be there. Rumors of Jenny being fired over this are reportedly "false."

    It makes me wonder why SNL wasn't on a few second delay, in light of the Janet Jackson incident. Stations and networks have been cautious about being fined after what happened there.

    And Slate's F-word slip up wasn't that bad and doesn't warrant any firing at all! F*cking PC police, I say!
