SNL's Slate Keeps Her Fricking Job

NBC won't can rookie over nervous slip-up

Share

(Newser) – SNL won't drop newbie Jenny Slate over the F-bomb she dropped on her live debut Saturday. NBC tells the Orlando Sentinel's Hal Boedeker that the frickin’ slipup, which viewers were supposed to hear between the lines, is not cause for dismissal. Perhaps Slate can even incorporate the scandal in the future, Boedeker notes—"If there is another Biker Chick Chat."

After seeing Jenny perform at comedy shows many times, it's not surprising at all that this happened. Funny as hell onstage, but very, very blue. Oh well, at least she's made a name for herself right off! Reply

Hopefully they'll drop the skit. Not because of the f-bomb, but it just seems like yet another Wayne's World ripoff. Reply
