What's the worst slip of the tongue you ever heard on radio or TV?

Question

I remember when Nicky Campbell twice made a mess of "South Kent Hunt" on Radio 5Live.

Not apocryphal, Harriet, I was listening at the time.

Answer 1

On This Morning once a guy phoned in asking for advice on how to propose to his girlfriend, and Richard asked if he had a ring. When they guy said yes, Richard replied: "Well just tell her you love her and whip it out!"

Everyone was in hysterics.

Answer 2

Well, it wasn't a slip of the tongue, persay, but it was a joke that got way out of hand. Several years ago, I lived in Virginia Beach, VA and the Tommy and the Bull morning drive DJ's played a practical joke where they broadcast that a public park built on an old refuse dump - it was called Mt. Trashmore - was going to explode due to a buildup of methane gas deep underground. Well, everyone freaked out. People were in a panic, calling the cops, trying to evacuate, getting their kids out of school. It was a real mess. It was like War of the Worlds. I think they got suspended.

Answer 3

I was listening to a couples quiz on the radio, and the couple were asked seperately where the strangest place they'd had sex was. The man answered in an embarressed tone "the kitchen table". The woman said quite genuinely "up the @rse". I was in fits of laughter for about 10 minutes.

Answer 4

It wasn't really a slip of the tongue but a while ago I was watching close encounters of the third kind on the TV and where it says what the film is after the ad break they had misspelled encounters to read "eno'****'ers" haha that was seriously funny but I can't believe no-one else noticed it!

Answer 5

This is the worst one I have ever heard....by the Greaseman on D.C. 101. He was upset that they just made Martin Luther King Jr, a national holiday and commented, "Kill 4 more and get the whole week off". He was fired for the comment and now I believe he is working for an am station somewhere.

Answer 6

Not quite a 'slip of the tongue' more of a ill-thought out comment.

Sara Cox, talking about the Queen Mother on radio one - "She smells of wee, but we all love her."

Another great one was with Jonathan Ross, talking about the D-day landings, then a radio ad came on promoting a programme about "D-Day Ravers" - He then (to his co-host) had a rant on that it was disrespectful using the theme of D-day to sell a programme about rave music. After the break in the news he came back all sheepish saying that he had misheard the title and the programme was D J RAVERS !!!!!!

Answer 7

About 2 months ago I was watching the UFC fight between a guy named BJ something and Matt Hughes and the announcer was saying how great BJ was fighting but the way he said it was...."That was the Greatest BJ I've seen in a while" It took everyone i was with about 5 seconds to realize what Joe Rogan said. That was hilarious!!

Answer 8

After the Detroit Tigers won the World Series in 1984, the players were celebrating in the locker room. Shortstop, Eddie Brinkman being interviewed said, "We're so f------ happy!" which was unheard on TV back then. It was so funny because as soon as the words were out of his mouth, he realized he was on live TV.

Answer 9

I was watching a baseball game on tv some years ago, well they went to a commercial and came back to the game too early I assume and you can hear one of the commentators say out loud, "I don't give a F**K what you think about women in baseball"!
