hard words on TV! Part deux

[Jonathan Lighter]

Gretchen Carlson, - classical violinist, former Oxford undergraduate, Miss America 1989 - is having a bad word-day.  Commenting on a film clip of polar bear cubs frolicking in the zoo:

GRETCHEN CARLSON: They're the only ones of their species - is it "speeshees"?...

BRIAN KILMEADE: "Speeshees."

GRETCHEN CARLSON: The only ones of their speeshees born in North America.
