The TV Zone

And speaking of bleepers that don't go bleep (see below), what exactly did Charles Gasparino say on CNBC yesterday?

Gaspo: One of my favorite TV business news reporters...no, take that back - my favorite TV biz news reporter. The guy's an insane bulldog, in the best sense of both words; he's the Gordo Ramsey of the TV biz news biz. He used to be a little calmer back when he worked for Newsday, about half a century ago...

But TV Newser yesterday caught this exchange, live and unexpurgated, between him and Donny Deutsch:

Gasparino: "We shouldn't be talking about it. It's a stupid [insert word here that typically denotes copulation but in some instances - such as when A-Rod strikes out again, in the bottom of the ninth, for like the fifth game in a row - is a perfectly acceptable and even polite exclamatory word of surprise and regret] debate."

Deutsch: Wow, did he?

Gasparino: I'm sorry.

Sue Herera: You're agreeing. We're leaving it there, you're agreeing. That's it.

Gasparino: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You can't put me on this show.

[Oh right Donny, you old prude - like YOU'VE never used that word before, like a thousand times a day, every day...]
