WABC Legend Ingram Drops F-Bomb
John Mainelli reports in the New York Post that legendary WABC afternoon host Dan Ingram dropped an F- bomb on-air Monday as he spoke about unsuccessfully suing a Florida deejay who stole his name. Allan Sniffen, keeper of the New York Radio Message Board and who was interviewing Ingram, added that Ingram was discussing how an “’f-ing court’ wouldn't let him appeal.” Sniffen continued, "(WABC host) Mark Simone tried to bleep him," but Ingram had been bleeped seconds earlier for an S-bomb and WABC's digital-delay system didn't have time to re-buffer.”
Ingram, who’s 71, told The Post, "In 40 years, I've never said that word before on the air. I was quoting myself when I was yelling at the guy who stole my name and realized, 'You really got into it, dummy.'
"It was a true slip of the tongue, and I apologize to anyone offended, and I'm especially sorry that it happened on Mark's watch because he's such a talented guy. I'd kick myself in the a- if I could – if I can say that word."
