Live television broadcasts aren’t always smooth sailing, and audiences sometimes get an eyeful of an entertaining, dangerous, embarrassing, or cringeworthy moment. In this case, brace your ears.
Savannah Guthrie accidentally let a curse word slip…on live television.
During Today’s Wednesday morning broadcast, the NBC co-host popped up on screen in the midst of what appeared to be a commercial window. Guthrie looked like she was reading when her mic caught her saying “shit.” While her audio was cut, the cameras stayed on the unknowing star as she continued to read and rehearse. Eventually, the show cut to another commercial.
Naturally, the censor crew didn’t catch it in time but they quickly turned down the sound right after that before switching to a commercial break. Many viewers caught it however and were quite enthusiastic about posting their amused reactions on social media.
One Twitter user jokingly asked, “Do you kiss your momma with that mouth?” Another posted, “You are awesome! Even with a potty mouth!” And of course, lots of poop emojis littered the comments section as people cracked up.
Shortly after the gaffe, Guthrie issued an apology through her Twitter account:
“Check, check – is this thing on? Yeah I guess it is. So sorry guys. Thanks for being kind and understanding. And guess it’s good thing I don’t wear a mic all day. #ohdarn”
While the line for being offensive on television has risen considerably over the years, with SNL crossing the line for NBC on many occasions, it is funny to see the smiling face that greets you to kick off the day dropping the type of language we all use at some point during the day. Multiple times if you haven’t had your coffee yet.
Guthrie addressed the incident and apologized on Twitter, something that couldn’t have been necessary but she still did it.
In fact, according to Opposing Views, many commenters felt that this little gaffe made the Australian-American broadcaster more relatable to them, including Jim Shoes who said, “Makes me like her more.”
