The former NFL actor was talking about his stint on "The Masked Singer" when he tried to refer to two of the series' judges.
Not only did he misinterpret the name of Robin Thicke, but he also commented on Ken Jeong on racism.
"Unfortunately, Alan Thicke and the little Japanese have kicked me off."
Alan Thicke, who died in 2016, was Robin's father. And Ken Jeong is not Japanese, he is Korean.
"I made an insensitive remark today about Ken, whom I have known for quite some time," Bradshaw said in a statement. "I told him about the importance of cultural respect and I apologized for my hurtful remarks and would also like to apologize to the Asian-American community for my insensitivity."
Bradshaw appeared on the first season of the series and his identity was revealed in the third episode.
The former football star played for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1970 to 1983 and won four Super Bowls. Since 1994, he is an analyst and co-host of Fox NFL Sunday.
CNN solicited comments from Fox, Jeong and Thicke.
