Lorne Michaels goes easy on Jenny Slate for SNL f-bomb
by Joel Keller, posted Sep 28th 2009 11:10AM
For those who missed it (or weren't on the east coast) on Saturday night, new SNLer Jenny Slate managed to do something in her first-ever sketch that hadn't been accomplished on the show in 28 years: she let loose with an f-bomb.
In the sketch, Slate and Kristin Wiig play biker chicks, and instead of saying "friggin'" or "freakin'" or any of the other substitutes they were supposed to use, Slate actually uttered the words "and I fuckin' love you for that." See the video below. The look on her face after she just realizes what she did is even more priceless than the f-bomb itself:

Damon Wayans heading back to TV

ABC is turning back to an old favorite, hoping to rekindle some comic magic for the network. Funny, irreverent and -- two snaps and a swish -- occasionally brilliant comic Damon Wayans has been tapped by ABC for a new single-camera sitcom pilot called Never Better. Damon starred as a family man in the five-year hit My Wife and Kids, doing a Cosby-esque turn from 2001-2005.The new show, Never Better, is being directed by Marc Buckland (My Name Is Earl, Ed) and centers on another family man, only in this incarnation, Damon is a guy who's struggling to be a good father and spouse despite his flaws and mistakes.
Wayans wants to trademark "Nigga"

Damon Wayans has been struggling for over a year now to get the word
"Nigga" trademarked for a line of clothing. Not surprisingly, his applications have been routinely rejected
due to a law which states trademarked names must not be "immoral or scandalous." This, of course, opens up a
whole philosophical can of worms. Is it okay for the name to be used on clothing if the man behind the clothing is
black? Do opinions matter if they're from outside the target demographic? If Wayans ever does manage to
launch his clothing line, I think the scandal alone could make it a very lucrative venture, something that surely isn't
lost on him.TV Squad Hot Topics
