During the network's live New Year's Eve broadcast from Times Square, Griffin was joking with co-host Anderson Cooper about how to pronounce the first name of "balloon boy" Falcon Heene when she mumbled something that sounded like the F-word. Cooper shook his head and said "You're terrible."

The network says in a statement that it regrets that profanity was used on the show.

Griffin says in a statement that people should just add her to the list of "serious reporters" who had trouble pronouncing the name "Falcon."

During the same show a year ago, Griffin ruffled some feathers when she yelled off-color comments at a heckler.
