They said Saturday Night Live would open its season with a bang — they just thought the fireworks would come from guest host Megan Fox, rather than an R-rated verbal slip-up from newcomer Jenny Slate.
During a late-segment sketch about a cable-access show called “Biker Chicks Chat,” Slate and SNL veteran Kristen Wiig used the word “friggin’” seemingly 12 times in every sentence. But during one line delivery, Slate accidentally let loose with the real obscenity that “friggin’” was supposed to replace.
“You stood up for yourself, and I f—–’ love you for that,” she told Wiig’s character. Except it wasn’t “friggin’.” It was, you know, the “F” word. Viewers on the East Coast heard it live, but the word was scrubbed from broadcasts in the Midwest and West.
Immediately after the slip-up, Slate, obviously aware of what she’d done, puffed up her cheeks and made a face. The audience went silent. Before Slate said “friggin’” throughout the rest of the skit, she seemed to hesitate ever so slightly, as if to be certain she was about to say the right thing and not something that rhymes with “duck.” No more violations were forthcoming.

Christian Siriano caught Amy Poehler’s impression of him on Saturday Night Live over the weekend and the Project Runway winner has just one word — an ‘F’ word — for the skit. And, no, it wasn’t “fierce.”
