All journalists eff up from time to time.

Like the reporter who referred to her colleague as fat because she didn’t realize her microphone was live.

But Fox News host Megyn Kelly effed up last night in a literal sense, accidentally dropped the F Bomb when introducing former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee as a guest on her show.

"Joining me now, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who is the host of F–ka–, of Huckabee, right here on the Fox News Channel," Kelly said, quickly correcting her mistake before moving on. "He’s also a former Republican presidential candidate."

 

The faux pas wasn’t of huge significance, but it has resulted in Kelly trending online today and it also led to The Kelly File star referencing the mistake later in the broadcast.

"They say she is not above keeping a ‘blank’ list — you know, starts with an ‘s,’" Kelly said in a segment about about White House adviser Valerie Jarrett, adding with a smile:

"I’ve already sworn once on the program, so I don’t even know why I’m bothering."

Well played and well saved, Megyn Kelly.
