Wednesday night’s (28 June) edition of the The One Show turned very tense.
Host of The Great British Sewing Bee, Sarah Pascoe, took to the iconic green sofa to be interviewed by Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas on the long-running BBC primetime magazine programme.
However, the conversation took an awkward turn as the trio debated when one of her sayings took an awkward turn.

She exclaimed: “90’s week is next week.
“That was my favourite, I was really into it. I said ‘Wasssuuuppp’ a lot!”
However, Jermaine pointed out that he thought the iconic phrase was used more in the noughties, to which Sarah exclaimed: “okay, I think we are going to need an edit!”
Sarah then exclaimed: “We’re too old now!” as Jermaine plead viewers to write in with any information that could help.

However as the interview drew to a close, Alex thought she would interject as she just couldn’t let this debate go.
She exclaimed: “By the way because people at home were like ‘was it the 90’s?’, it was!”
Jermaine in turn also persisted as he confidently replied: “No, no, no, it was the noughties!” for which Alex was left lost for words as she exclaimed: “Oh sorry I wasn’t listening properly!” before she burst into an awkward fit of nervous laughter.
After a quick back and fourth, things were left so confused in the studio that Alex was forced to look directly into the camera as she asked producers to step in so they can fact check the origin date of the popular slang campaign.

Sarah was left trying not to laugh during the awkward five second silence before a producer relayed the information to the host via her in-ear monitor.
Alex confirmed: “20th December 99, we’re right,” whilst Jermaine pointed out the close proximity to his theory as he replied: “You can JUST have it, alright!”
Viewers also seemed to get involved as they answered the plea from the former professional footballer on social media.
One viewer pointed out on Twitter: “Wasssuuuppp = 1999 – 2002.”

A second noted: “Sarah just sneaks in. First aired December 20th 1999.
They added: “The first spot aired during Monday Night Football on December 20, 1999.”
Whilst a third fan commented: “I believe Budweiser’s Whassuup campaign is a late 90s thing in the US that didn’t take off here until about 2000. A bit like The Simpsons or Star Trek TNG.”
