Following the 1994 Winter Olympics , Kerrigan participated in the Walt Disney World parade . She was caught on microphone saying to Mickey Mouse , " This is dumb . I hate it . This is the corniest thing I have ever done . " She later claimed that her remark was taken out of context and she was not commenting on being in the parade but rather on her agent 's insistence that she wear her silver medal in the parade . She said that her parents had always taught her not to show off or brag about her accomplishments . She added that she had nothing against Disney or Mickey Mouse : " Who could find fault with Mickey Mouse ? He 's the greatest mouse I 've ever known . " Kerrigan 's publicity tour continued with an appearance at the 1994 Kids ' Choice Awards , where she was green slimed after uttering the magic words upon being asked by host Joey Lawrence what was next for her . Her reaction being slimed was not favorable , as she was visibly disgusted and annoyed , possibly due to the use of the original '' You Ca n't Do That on Television '' slime recipe , or perhaps just playing up the " angry adult " trope . Either way , this response did nothing to help with the post-olympics media backlash . Her media fallout continued , as she drew poor reviews hosting '' Saturday Night Live '' just a few weeks later
