I thought it was hillarious and you could hear a pin drop and the air being sucked out of the room after she said it. To their benefit, she and Kristen Wiig kept going and finished the sketch. Slate was also seen hugging head writer Seth Meyer during the end of show wave, so I'm sure they were all trying to be supportive of her.
The rest of the show was good, but not great, and probably a little indicative of them having the extra half-hour to fill every week with other topical comedy that the regular show felt a little "lite."
Will be interesting to see what the fallout of this is (if anything). I also wonder if fellow live tv "F-Bomb" dropper Bono had any words of support for her . . .

I don't think there will be any major issue from this- happened after midnight, they dubbed it out of the West Coast airing, from what I've heard, and it was pretty clearly an accident, going by the "Oh, crap!" puffed-out face she pulled right after she said it. She'll probably get a talking-to from someone but that should be about it.

The flight attendant sketch was just excruciating and let all the air out.

The FCC says it's illegal to air obscene material at any time, and indecent and profane material between 6 am and 10 pm. It wasn't obscene, if it was after midnight on the east coast that means it didn'tair before 10 pm in any time zone, so it's fine. | TheOldMan

SNL premieres are almost always brutal, especially in recent years. They go for a big name (Michael Phelps, Lebron James, Megan Fox) to create buzz for the episode, not at all someone who can actually act. Aside from the phone sex hotline spoof, this whole episode was totally forgettable.

I hadn't heard about it at all until I clicked on this thread this morning. Whether it was planned or not, it's not going to hurt or help the show. I haven't thought SNL to be relevant (except for the Palin skewering) for quite some time.

Exactly. It aired in what is known as "safe harbor," although when I helped at the local radio station, we were supposed to air a disclaimer if any indecent or profane material was going to be aired. | kentish

| #10 Posted on 28.9.09 0949.23 | Instant Rating: 4.47 | At least it happened around 12:45 when most people are no longer watching. Thank goodness for DVR! I agree with Big Bad, a skit repeating "freaking" over and over is just asking for it.
I thought the show was pretty good, and was surprised Fox was did as well as she did. Maybe the show is not as "relevant" as it once was, but it's still quite funny at times to me, which is all I ask for.

Exactly. It's not like Chevy, Belushi, or Murray were putting on comedy classics after 12:30 either. It's always been cruise control at that point in anticipation of the after party.
Regarding the skit in question, Kristen Wiig can make me laugh in almost anything, so I guess it's just a matter of taste/opinion.

I wonder who the first person to say this was. I bet it was back in 1976 with someone saying "the show just can't be funny now that Chevy isn't around."

Hahahaha yeah since somebody said the same thing about SNL over 30 years ago it still clearly deserves to be around.

Nothing personal, it just seems like there is a rush every year to be the first person to say "How can SNL still be on the air?" and predictions of gloom ensue. (This same thing happens with the Simpsons every season.) It is like the changing of the seasons. Of course it was just last year that SNL was seemingly on top of the world with the election giving them renewed cultural relevance. But now after what sounds like a terrible show, it is time to shuffle it off to the graveyard.
Most likely this year will suck, as about 1/2 to 2/3 of SNL seasons tend to suck. Most likely in another year or two they'll have a good year and everyone will say "Wow, SNL is good again!" and be amazed as though this same cycle doesn't happen every couple of years.
