After dropping the F-bomb on SNL the other night, many started to wonder if Jenny Slate would be fired for her f-word slip up. Jenny Slate accidentally said “fucking” instead of frickin, but continued on with the biker chick chat sketch (despite a brief blowfish-in-the-headlights moment).

NBC spokeswoman Sharon Pannozzo said there’s “no truth to firing conjecture. She will not be fired.”

There still begs the question of whether or not SNL will be fined by the FCC though.

Lorne Michaels says of Jenny Slate’s f-bomb “It was literally her first time on the show. There was nothing dirty, just a slip of the tongue. It was ‘frickin’, frickin’, frickin’ ‘ and then boom! The pain that Jenny is going through is, I’m sure, considerably worse than that experienced by anybody who saw it.”
