“Fox NFL Sunday” host Terry Bradshaw on Monday called comedian Ken Jeong “the little short guy from Japan,” and later apologized for his “insensitive remark,” Deadline reported.

Bradshaw, a Hall of Fame quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, told the audience at a Fox upfront presentation about his elimination as a contestant from Fox’s “The Masked Singer.” Jeong, who is Korean-American, is a panelist on the singing competition.

“I love to sing, as all of you know who have my records,” Bradshaw said, according to The Wrap. “Unfortunately, I was kicked off by Alan Thicke and the little short guy from Japan.”

Bradshaw was referring to the late Alan Thicke’s son, Robin Thicke, and the Detroit-born Jeong, whose parents immigrated from South Korea.
