CBS News’ Host Goes Viral For Using Vulgar Slang Term To Describe Papal Conclave
HuffPost
Tony Dukoupil's on-air colleagues couldn't help but laugh at his surprising comment.
A CBS News journalist managed to break the internet on Wednesday with a quip about the papal conclave going on in the Vatican to pick a new pope.
That’s because Tony Dokoupil’s remark used a vulgar slang term associated with unprotected sex.
During live coverage of the conclave, CBS’s John Allen noted that all the clergy in attendance had their cell phones confiscated and said, “The one thing we know they’re not doing is checking Instagram.”
That led Dokoupil to joke, “I believe the kids call it rawdogging it,” which made all his on-air coworkers break up in laughter, while he attempted to finish the sentence with, “if you’re gonna go through a long period of time with no electronic device.”
Why the laughs?
