When introducing Fox colleague Mike Huckabee on the "Kelly Files" Monday, host Megyn Kelly made a rare gaffe, introducing him as the host of the "F**k-abee" show.
"Joining me now, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who is the host of 'F**ka' -- of 'Huckabee,'" Kelly said, immediately correcting the exchange of consonants. Huckabee cracked a smile, then tightened his lips, seemingly to control a laugh. Kelly just powered on, addressing the gaffe twice later in the show.
During a segment about presidential advisor Valerie Jarrett, Kelly explained that the advisor supposedly kept a "blank list that starts with 's.'" She added, "I already cursed once tonight so I don't even know why I bother, and it was much worse than that."
As she closed the show, Kelly said:
Something else that happened on the program is also getting a lot of attention on Twitter, including this tweet from some nice man named Sean, who said, "Megyn, you’re a delight to watch and gave a stoic performance after your slip up with Gov. Huckabee’s name." I thought I was stoic too -- I have a heart of a 12-year-old boy.
