‘Today’ Hosts Crack Up After Olympian Mikaela Shiffrin Drops F-Bomb Live On-Air

Mikaela Shiffrin apologized on live TV after unintentionally swearing during a Today Show interview following her Olympic gold win, attributing it partly to celebratory espresso martinis.

  • On Thursday, Mikaela Shiffrin accidentally dropped the F-bomb on live television during a Today show interview in Milan, Italy while trying not to curse.
  • Appearing emotional, Shiffrin discussed her spiritual journey since her father Jeff’s 2020 death and said teammates offered espresso martinis the night after her win.
  • Reacting visibly, Carson Daly, Hoda Kotb, and Craig Melvin laughed and reassured her, while Today’s official YouTube page bleeped out the swearing on Thursday morning.
  • The clip prompted social media reaction and on-air jokes as Mikaela Shiffrin, the first U.S. skier to win three Olympic gold medals, sparked comments under Today’s Instagram and hosts joked `We’ll pay the fine`.
  • That victory marked Shiffrin’s first Olympic medal since 2018, ending an 0-for-8 skid during the Winter Games that included DNFs from four years ago.
