Fox News Shep Smith confused reporter Jonathan Hunt's last name with another word last night that begins with a "C" when he was wrapping a segment on the Fox Report: Johnny Dollar's Place vid
He acknowledged it at the end of the show (video): "Did you see Jonathan Hunt's report earlier this newscast? The producer in the booth behind me is Jonathan Glenn, so I was talking to Jonathan Glenn and then I was about thank Jonathan Hunt and I said, Jonathan ka,ka,ka.... you get it. Messy but not gutterous."
Jane Skinner finally gets her revenge nearly two years after she inadvertently said "cock" instead of "cop" and Shep couldn't contain himself:
Thanks, Johnny Dollar's Place! I'm so bloody lame when it comes to uploading video...

Or maybe he just had Courtney and Ainsley on his mind, and how they nearly ruined weekend programming on FNC?

Dear TOA: Now THAT is hilarious! What was Jane thinking in 2006 when she said "top cock" instead of "top cop?"
Marty
Know idea, Marty. Maybe the fact that Shep is very handsome and can be quite flirtatious [with women!] was on her mind?
Nevertheless, he's off today and we're wondering if it was a scheduled day off or a punishment for blurting out the c-word on TV.
The bigger question I have is: Is that creature on top of Jonathan Hunt's real or Hair Club for Men?
He got it when Jim Traficant went to prison and left it for him to hold.
TOA and A: You guys are hilarious! Anon: The creature on Jonathan Hunt's head is what they called a "merkin" starting in the Middle Ages. Look it up.
Why punish Shep for uttering "cunt?" (I have no compunction in deflating these words). By the way cunt was first used in the Middle Ages. England.
I thought a merkin is a wig for the pubic region? Also used to describe a man who "beards" for a lesbian.
Is Shep being punished? Ever since signing his new contract, he rarely works a full week and even before that he usually took off Fridays (and more) in the summer, usually heading out to the Hamptons.
Yeah, TOA, Hunter is wearing a pubic wig. Shep wasn't taken to the Fox woodshed. No reason to. He simply stepped on his tongue - it happens, eh?
The worst slip I ever had on the air was uttering "orgasm" instead of "organism." That was in the mid-70s and was quite scandalous. Tame by today's standards. I got in more trouble for "editorializing" on the Tee Vee airwaves. Again, quaint by today's standards where political hacks dubbed "strategists" and biased media blowhards rule...
Thanks for reminding me why I have always stayed OFF the air and in print and behind the scenes!
These days, editorializing is encouraged at certain networks. I also get peeved at every political hack being dubbed a "strategist" just because he or she has a blog and a big mouth.
