The hosts of a popular New Jersey radio show returned to work Monday after mocking the nation's first Sikh attorney general.
WKXW-FM hosts Dennis Malloy and Judi Franco returned to the air Monday after a 10-day suspension.
Franco called it an "emotional whirlwind" of a week and said she looks forward to moving on.
Malloy and Franco earlier issued an apology to New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal and the Sikh and Asian communities, writing they were "deeply sorry."
The station also apologized and suspended them without pay.
The longtime hosts of the "Dennis & Judi" show uttered the slur last month while talking about Grewal's directive to prosecutors to temporarily suspend marijuana prosecutions.
