patgundKids Host Fired After Racy Video
“PBS Kids Sprout has determined that the dialogue in this video is inappropriate for her role as a preschool program host and may undermine her character’s credibility with our audience,” said Sandy Wax, network president.
Airing for three hours each evening, “The Good Night Show” airs soothing stories and cartoons designed to get an audience of 2-to-5-year-olds ready for bed. Each night, Martinez guides a puppet character into dreamland. Martinez is a stage actress and mother of a toddler.
In the two “Technical Virgin” videos—made before she landed the children’s show job—she spoofs PSAs about how young women can keep their virginity."
The spoofs were funny. Damn shame PBS didn't show the same sense of humour, especially after having George Carlin and Ringo Starr hosting "Shining Time Station" a few years ago....... And it's not like there was any nudity, profanity, or anything else like that on the spoof.
