Overview
- Farrell let slip an expletive after correctly guessing Tayto crisps during a live tasting with host Craig Melvin.
- The moment occurred Sept. 16 as Farrell and Margot Robbie promoted A Big Bold Beautiful Journey on NBC’s morning show.
- Farrell immediately tried to downplay it with “They misheard me,” as Melvin joked he said “freaking,” and Robbie looked stunned.
- The Today team had joked earlier about using a seven‑second delay for other segments, a nod to live TV’s unpredictability.
- Coverage and social media posts, including Instagram comments, framed the slip as a humorous viral blip with no reported fallout.
