Talk about an oops moment. Fox News’ Megyn Kelly mistakenly dropped the f-bomb while introducing her Monday night guest Mike Huckabee — but, to her credit, seamlessly sailed right into the segment as if nothing had happened.
Ms. Kelly’s remarks: “Joining me now, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who’s the host of [expletive]-abee — ’Huckabee,’” she said.
Mr. Huckabee smiled but otherwise didn’t let on he heard the gaffe.

Ms. Kelly did raise the issue later in her program, after reading a Twitter message from a reader who was expressing support and sympathy.
“Something else that happened on the program is also getting a lot of attention on Twitter,” she said, Politico reported.
Ms. Kelly later acknowledged the flub while discussing Valerie Jarrett, one of President Obama’s leading advisers.
“They say [Ms. Jarrett] is not above keeping a ’blank’ list — you know, begins with ’s’ — I’ve already sworn once on the program so I don’t even know why I’m even bothering and it was way worse than that one, but anyway …” she said.
