* I will also note that we don't know if this a "notable" event yet or not. (The usual pressure groups might be too preoccupied with death panels and "keeping the government's hands off their Medicare" [sic] to notice.) I think I'll remove that characterization.

The subject of this article just dropped an "f-bomb" on live television. In anticipation of the "OMG!!11!!" edits (some of which might violate WP:BLP and be speculative in nature), I've semiprotected the article for now. --Kinu t/c 04:55, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Previous editor was a bit prissy (mentioned only "an expletive") and exhibits a poor grasp of the show's history. The "Charles Rocket incident" was thought to be deliberate on Rocket's part. Jenny Slate's accidental utterance of "fuckin'" in "Biker Chick Chat" shares the same bit of vocabulary but the similarities end there. It's more like the Norm Macdonald incident (1997-APR-12) and even more like the Paul Shaffer incident (15-MAR-1980), wherein the sketch performed contained numerous uses of the nonce word "fluck". (Coincidentally, Bono, part of the musical guest ensemble on the same episode, let slip a "fuckin'" at the 2003 Golden Globes ceremony, which was transmitted live in some markets. Neither he nor the broadcaster were penalized.)
U.S. West Coast viewers, please report what alteration (if any) was made to your version of the broadcast. SNL's SOP for these types of situations is to air the dress rehearsal version.

It was Jenny Slate. During Biker Chick Chat. She was visibly aware she did it afterward and judging by their reaction, the audience was aware as well.Ezyrydr2000rs (talk) 05:21, 27 September 2009 (UTC)ezyrydr2000rs[reply]
