Megan Fox hosts SNL season premiere; Jenny slate f-bomb video
"It" girl Megan Fox hosted the season premiere of Saturday Night Live this weekend. The only edgy moment of the Megan Fox Saturday Night Live episode came when new featured cast member Jenny Slate inadvertently dropped the "f-bomb" during her "Biker Chick Chat" sketch.
Friend of the Howard Stern Show Norm MacDonald was fired after he used the "f word" while hosting the "Weekend Update" portion of Saturday Night Live in 1997. While Norm MacDonald's use of the "f bomb" was clearly intentional, Jenny Slate's "dirty word" seemed like an honest mistake. The main identifiable feature of the Saturday Night Live character she was playing was her frequent use of theword "friggin," and the video of Jenny Slate's look of horror after the f-bomb was released makes it pretty clearly it was an inadvertent slip.
If Howard Stern weren't on vacation again next week, he would likely wax poetic remembering his terrestrial radio days when he was constantly being chased down by the FCC for her sexual "deviances." In 2004, Clear Channel paid the FCC $495,000 as part of a larger settlement when Howard Stern discussed the phenomenon of "finger banging" on his syndicated radio program. Viacom paid out $3.5 million as a part of a settlement for various indiscretions by Howard Stern and XM mouth breathers Opie and Anthony.
The Jenny Slate F-Bomb sketch aired live on the East Coast, but was replaced with a taped rehearsal for the West Coast broadcast. Check out the Jenny Slate F-Bomb video below:

Those "mouth breathers" are actually entertaining. And they never take vacations. Unlike your Shirley Temple-wigged senior citizen shock jock.
Hey lady, your c*nt stinks.
La la la laaaaaa! When you die, I will laugh.
This article is fake, so fake. I'm not gay.
I'm hungry.
Someone needs to kill this lady Sam. It would be a perfect murrrrderrrr!
You and the FCC are idiots.
Norm MacDonald rules. If you haven't watched the clips of him on Conan recently (check Hulu), do.
Man, Howard's dick must taste delicious. Because you're constantly gobbling on it as you take another shot at Opie & Anthony. Don't be upset because your hero phones it in with subpar radio while O&A are typically funny, edgy, and they actually try new things.
What makes material “profane?” “Profane language” includes those words that are so highly offensive that their mere utterance in the context presented may, in legal terms, amount to a “nuisance.” In its Golden Globe Awards Order the FCC warned broadcasters that, depending on the context, it would consider the “F-Word” and those words (or variants thereof) that are as highly offensive as the “F-Word” to be “profane language” that cannot be broadcast between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
What is the “safe harbor”? The “safe harbor” refers to the time period between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., local time. During this time period, a station may air indecent and/or profane material. In contrast, there is no “safe harbor” for the broadcast of obscene material. Obscene material is entitled to no First Amendment protection, and may not be broadcast at any time.
so it actually was a legal thing to say!!!!!!!!!!!
do research people!!!

Don't think she should be fired.
