The incident comes just two weeks after a news broadcaster in North Dakota lost his job after his on-air slip-of-the-tongue went viral. Who couldn't use a good chuckle every now & then right?' On Wednesday, she tweeted: 'Thanks for laughing along with me & my 'tremendous' slip, guys. But she initially tried to have fun with her on-air mistake. And the incident also took off on Twitter, with online sports news website Deadspin even tweeting out a (rather gratuitous) remix of it:Ĭollins has yet to comment since being canned. Jay Leno showed the video of Collins' mistake on the 'Tonight Show' Wednesday, and called it the 'Freudian Slip of the Day.' The video clip already has been viewed more than 170,000 times on YouTube. Collins was fired Thursday, though CSN Chicago's parent company, Comcast, claimed that it was unrelated to her TV blooper. She very quickly corrected her flub - she meant to say 'success' - but the video went viral. That was how she started a sentence about the team's progress during a report for Comcast SportsNet Chicago. During a live televised report outside the Chicago Blackhawks locker room, Collins said of the team: 'Despite the fact that they've had a tremendous amount of sex in the regular season.' For Chicago sports reporter Susannah Collins, it was an unfortunate slip of the tongue.
