Jenny Slate won’t be fired for SNL slipup
NBC executives won’t be firing Jenny Slate after her accidental opening-night f-word.
Unlike early SNL star Charles Rocket, who was famously fired after the same error during a “Who Shot J.R.?” Dallas skit, Slate will be able to keep her job. And as the slip occurred late in the show (around 12:40 EST), the FCC is unlikely to fine the production for indecency. RadarOnline posted about the reaction at NBC over the slip-up, and the rumors that Slate’s first show was also her last:
“No truth to firing conjecture,” NBC spokeswoman Sharon Pannozzo said. “She will not be fired.”
However, show executives were said to have had a “big meeting” after the incident and were generally not happy about it, and Slate did not attend the show’s opening night after party. The SNL rookie’s mis-step was the second time in two week New Yorkers were exposed to an accidental “f*ck.” Local anchor Ernie Anastos was caught out telling a co-anchor to “keep f*cking that chicken” live on a weeknight news broadcast. Anastos has since apologized.
