From the If An F-Bomb Drops And No One Cares, Does It Really Matter Dept.:
LOS ANGELES - NBC hasn't received any calls about the F-word that Motley Crue rocker Vince Neil dropped during the live New Year's Eve broadcast of "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."
"Happy f---ing New Year, Tommy!" Neil said to bandmate Tommy Lee (news) shortly after midnight Friday.
Leno normally tapes his show for broadcast later in the evening but does a live version for New Year's Eve. He had never a problem with profanities before, although the word has slipped out from time to time on other programs.
"The network has not received any calls regarding the incident," an NBC official, who asked not be identified, said Monday.
Personally, I think they're blowing this way out of proportion. I distinctly remember New Year's Eve 1972, when Guy Lombardo called one of his Royal Canadiens a "dumb a-- motherf---ing Cannuck" at the stroke of midnight.
My grandmother was none too pleased. Posted by Jeff at January 4, 2005 08:15 AM | TrackBack
