QVC host admits what she was really thinking during THAT extremely X-rated slip-up on live TV
QVC Host Toni Brattin has revealed what was going through her mind when she made an extremely X-rated slip-up on live television that became the viral video of the week.
Brattin, 66, was showcasing her wig line on the iconic shopping channel when she told viewers that the ‘texture’ and ‘wavy pattern’ of the product ‘looks like you went and got a b*** j**.’
After realizing her NSFW blooper, Brattin quickly corrected herself to say, ‘a blowout at your salon.’
Anchor Terri Conn stepped in to try to help, changing the subject by telling viewers: ‘Here’s what’s happening, we’re having a huge beauty sale today.’
But the damage had already been done, and she could not contain her laughter. Brattin told TMZ that when she realized her mistake, she thought to herself: ‘Did I just say what I think I said?’
‘It was one of those moments, and of course, you can’t grab those words back. They’re out there,’ she continued.
Brattin explained that she tried to correct it quickly, but heard snickering from the crew and could not help but laugh.
She said that after she realized her hilarious mistake, she burst into laughter and just hoped the camera would cut away from her.

Should live TV hosts be forgiven for on-air slip-ups, or held to higher standards of professionalism?

Brattin also gave kudos to Jimmy Fallon for parodying her mess-up, adding: ‘I had to laugh at him as much as I had to laugh at myself.’
On Thursday’s episode of The Tonight Show, Fallon played the clip and turned around while delivering a joke to mimic Brattin.
‘By the way, the wigs are totally sold out. Note to all the married men out there – the wig is only available on your birthday,’ he quipped.
Brattin seemed to love the joke, saying in her interview, ‘Jimmy, you were hilarious. I happened to save one of those wigs just for Jimmy,’ adding that she would love to see the Tonight Show host modeling one of her wigs on television.
‘Jimmy, you just tell me when your birthday is and I’ll hand-deliver this and we’ll see how cute you look in it,’ Brattin joked.
The clip has made the rounds on social media, prompting countless parodies and reaction videos.
The internet also noted Brattin’s reaction to her slip-up, with many commenting on how she fell to the floor laughing.
Her co-host Conn shared the clip online, writing: ‘The show must go on [laughing emoji] Love you, Toni Brattin!’
