"There's some brouhaha brewing over whether or not actor Samuel L. Jackson said \"Fuuuuuh\" or actually uttered the f-bomb on Saturday Night Live's most recent episode.   \nSNL cast member Kenan Thompson looked shocked after Jackson said his line and joked on camera, \"That costs money,\" referring to Federal Communications Commission fines for profanity. Some say they also heard Jackson say \"bullshit\" during that same sketch.\n SEE ALSO: Watch Tom Hanks' F-Bomb Slip on Live TV \nSince Jackson allegedly said the word at around 12:35 a.m. ET, it's possible the FCC fines won't be as high. The commission's website notes that profane speech is banned between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.\nThe actor explained his side of the story via Twitter: \n\nI only said FUH not FUCK!K was sposed to cut off da BULLSHIT, blew it!! twitter.com/SamuelLJackson\u2026\n\u2014 Samuel L. Jackson (@SamuelLJackson) December 16, 2012\n\nOver the years, there have been a few SNL cast members and guests to drop curse words on the live show. The first one was Paul Shaffer \u2014 now David Letterman's sidekick \u2014 who uttered the f-word instead of \"flogging\" during a skit, earlier in his career. Early '80s cast member Charles Rocket said the f-bomb in the show's closing moments and was subsequently fired. \nMore recently, cast member Jenny Slate said the same word during her debut show in 2009, and while it wasn't taken lightly, she wasn't fired. Since the gaffe aired at 12:40 a.m. ET, SNL did not face FCC charges, but Slate's contract was not renewed for another season, according to the New York Daily News. Cast member Cheri Oteri also dropped an expletive on the show, but put one dollar in a swear jar at the end of the program, and the issue was dropped. Singer Lady Gaga  said \"shit\" in 2009, but was still invited back to the show again.

Or do you think the FCC doesn't dole out as many fines these days, making management less likely to issue pink slips?
