USAFri Nov 22 2024
This week, morning TV shows got a bit more colorful than usual, thanks to some unexpected profanity from celebrities. It all started when "Great British Bake Off" judge Prue Leith dropped a surprising swear word on "Live with Kelly and Mark. " She wasn't done alone, as Richard Gere and Cher also let slip some choice language on their respective shows. Leith was chatting about King Charles' tea preferences when she casually mentioned it was "hippie st, " causing hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos to laugh in disbelief. Meanwhile, Gere was on "Today" promoting his new show "The Agency" and mimicked a gesture that wasn't quite family-friendly. Savannah Guthrie reacted with a playful swat, warning him about his language on a morning show. Cher took things a step further on "Today" with Hoda Kotb. She shared a story about Lucille Ball but couldn't resist dropping an f-bomb before the censors could react. It seems the control rooms at these morning shows had a tough week keeping up with the unexpected language!
