Fox News Roasted After Viewers Notice Hilariously NSFW Typo During Live Broadcast

Fox News News reported on TikTok's uncertain future as they missed the divestiture deadline of January 19 to avoid a shutdown.

The ban was immediately lifted temporarily for a 75-day extension when Republican President Donald Trump signed an executive order within hours of Monday's inauguration to save the short-form video app.

Before Trump's suspension of the ban, GOP Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick appeared on Fox News to discuss the app's uncertain future with host Shannon Bream.

Unfortunately, much of what was discussed during the segment took a backseat to the chyron fail that viewers were fixated on, and laughing at, for the 20 seconds it was up on the screen.

Unbeknownst to the Fox host and guest, the banner visible to home viewers featured a NSFW typo that read:

"TITKOK Shuts Down in the U.S."

We don't know what a "TITKOK" is, but we're pretty sure a mashup of naughty body parts was not what they were going for to convey the app…or were they?

This is what Fox viewers saw.

The graphic gaffe, which may or may not have been the result of college intern hijinks, even made the eponymous host of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert giggle.

He mentioned TikTok's short-lived ban and said:

“Fox News ran a story about it and accidentally called the platform ‘TITKOK.' "

Colbert assured everyone not to worry because:

"Thanks to Trump, ‘Titkok’ is still available. As are Peen-terest, Faceboob and Clitter.”

The internet was in stitches.

Thanks for that, Fox News.

Making us chuckle was a nice departure from your regular programming.
