where for this list, we'll look at the most notable hosts, cast members, guests and musicians who at one point or another were thought to be

banned

from the sitcom, whether temporarily or permanently, would you raise the SNL Ban on any of these celebrities, if so let us know who in the comments The Replacements In 1986, this alternative rock band was tasked with a last minute musical guest spot on Saturday Night Live replacing the group of r b pop The Pointer Sisters, so In this scenario, the Replacements were literally The Replacements, so they had supposedly performed well in their dress rehearsal, a few too many drinks before recording made all the difference, when the time came Before going

, the band played out of tune and shouted foreign swear words. bad behavior and spectacle meant they would never see the 30 Rock Sound Stage as a band again Louise Lasser, you never forget your first difficult co-star on the first season of Saturday Night Live Mary Hartman's Louise Lasser Mary Hartman apparently made history as the first person to be kicked off the show says my good friend Jack Nicholson when it should be my new friend and it's not Jack Nicholson.

I don't know Jack Nicklaus. She claims this is not true, but the rumor persists throughout her opening. Monologue that was difficult to understand and she had an in-character nervous breakdown that seemed a little out of character, since The Story Goes it was difficult to convince her to participate in many of the sketches that were written for her, we may never know exactly what. she fell backstage, but that was the last we saw of Lassar on SNL.

one who really appreciates you. System of a Down. Who would have thought that politically charged heavy metal and network television don't mix well?

Executive producer Lauren Michaels decided to give the band System of a Down a chance, regardless of some restrictions, they were given the green light to perform their song BYOB, even with its strong message, the band was asked not to curse during their performance , but they refused to censor themselves while the production team was there. able to let out the bleep of profanities, the band's guitarist, Darren Malakian, decided to drop one last F-bomb. Needless to say, there was no coming back from that Cypress Hill. Now that's how you go down in a blaze of glory, typical band stuff. asking to perform on Saturday Night Live would be revered as a great opportunity to gain recognition from the show's enormous audience.

What you see he says instead of maintaining his formal and appropriate performance to please the network. Executives at hip-hop trio Cypress Hill made the right one. What they were asked not to smoke - no, we're not talking about the Green Room - the band's DJ mugs lit up right on stage during their set, but while it's unlikely they'll ever return to SNL, their performance certainly went down in history. Gillis, this comedian, didn't even need to set foot on stage before he was asked to leave, leading to the show's 45th season. The cast would grow by three adding Bo and Yang Chloe Feynman and Shane Gillis as featured players, however, with Gillis quickly fired after racist and homophobic comments were discovered on his podcast, the reaction was immediate and unfavorable.

Representatives for Lauren my Michael stated that the team was not aware of these comments at the time of their hiring and that they should have investigated the clips sooner, it's safe to say. that Gillis won't be asked to visit Studio 8h anytime soon Milton Burl steps down Burl, you're a hoarder in the spotlight on Saturday Night Live season 4 Milton Burrough was invited to host the show despite Lorne Michael's doubts due to his experience in Vaudeville. acting and having once been the host of his own series, it was understood that Burl would have his way of doing things, he is a good audience.

I'm really excited, but when Showtime came around, he doubled down on his difficult nature and completely disobeyed. The instructions he was given, all the little bits and jokes he threw into the show were not in the script, that chair is reserved for the show, making it difficult for the rest of the cast to anticipate his next move. You have to believe me, there is nothing more exciting than coming out of the closet. doing just one performance in front of an electric

audience in person and doing a live show Robert Blake an important rule for hosting Saturday Night Live no disrespect to the writers oh I'm doing it right, you know, for a guy who has to work in Hollywood, I'm doing good, yes, during a rehearsal for his episode, Blake was given a script for one of the sketches he would appear in so he could read it, after reviewing it, he supposedly threw it right into the writer. and actor Gary Kroger's face and he called him some names while he was at it, yet he continued to appear in his episode.

I've been away for a long time. I hope to stay for a while, but no one wants to work with anyone. with such a temper and it is said that Blake's Antics got him kicked off the show Charles Grodin, this episode of SNL's Stars gave the audience a peek behind the curtain and wasn't this guy so cute Chuck Grodin, he's really liking me Getting nervous, I mean. He's barely here all week and I mean he got upset at rehearsal, which is an unforgivable dress rehearsal. Charles Grodin's hosting gig was quite unusual as the cast criticize him in the opening scene for missing his dress rehearsals and admit that he doesn't really fit in with the studio audience.

I didn't know there was an audience, well maybe if he had been the dress rehearsal, you know there was an audience out there, the rest of the episode is equally strange with Groden interjecting into seemingly out of character sketches and performances, it might be. cut yes, I'm the host, yes, I thought so, I thought it was going pretty well, he even joins musical guest Paul Simon dressed as Art Garfunkel, while many were convinced that this was a genuine Groden performance, then he shared that these behaviors were apparently encouraged as part of his sitcom Persona, even saying he turned down an invitation to return regardless Grodin never returned to SNL Elvis Costello always sticks to the script or song list Elvis Costello, a singer and songwriter known for making statements through his music, he was a last-minute gap filler after rock band The Sex Pistols dropped out and kept the SNL crew on their toes after he began performing the less-than-zero scheduled song, quickly stopping his band and ordered them to start playing radio instead.

I'm sorry. Ladies and gentlemen, there's no reason to do this song here, it's already done. He felt that he needed to rebel against the wishes of his record label and temporarily got into trouble with Saturday Night Live in the process, although all's well that ends well, as he later returned to Studio 8h. Frank Zappa Not Everyone Is Cut Out to Host Frank Zappa wasn't a total newcomer to Saturday Night Live as he had been a musical guest on the show's second season, but when he returned a couple of seasons later as host and act, he simply could not fulfill, it is an incredible responsibility to be selected among millions of people to become the banner of NBC's New Look God.

I hope I'm good, no, no, no, no, Rebellion nervous to make a statement, reportedly just didn't have the energy. and attitude to work this is a collection an unauthorized collection of my latest sound patterns. I approved of Beldar. Zappa also apparently wasn't interested in making connections with the cast or crew while he was on set, which made for an awkward show. I love your nails. you must be a Libra, it has been said that he was subsequently blacklisted from appearing on the show, as a result, fear, don't be afraid, actually, maybe be a little afraid. California punk rock group Fear was brought to Saturday Night Live to perform on their Halloween special. episode like a real hardcore punk group.

The Live Network's television standards weren't exactly up to their standard, but former cast member John Belushi was a fan and guaranteed they would be in an episode. This ended up being a horrible decision as the group began violence. Mosh Pit angry during their set, their Antics reportedly ended up dropping dozens of SNL and possibly even hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Damages across the studio with that kind of price tag, it's easy to see why they weren't invited back. Adrian Brody always leaves The impressions for the professionals, most importantly, leave them in the hands of the culturally appropriate professionals.

I'm very excited to be here to

night

. You know, yeah, actor Adrian Brody made the age-old mistake we've seen several of the hosts on this list make. script Hey guys, please, please, I only have one shot here as the musical act of the episode is reggae artist Sean Paul Brody, he thought it would be funny to introduce him with a Jamaican accent while wearing fake locks in his hair, he obviously thought It was wrong. He's not funny at all, it was offensive and unwarranted, and he reportedly earned a ban from SNL, even though he claims to know nothing about it.

Martin Lawrence, let's keep it family-friendly. It's not surprising that some comedians have a hard time cleaning up their act to perform live. TV, but not doing it still causes a lot of problems, but damn, now it's my turn, there's nothing stopping me. I'm telling you that actor and comedian Martin Lawrence went too far during his opening monologue by making extremely graphic jokes about women and their cleanliness. but I'm meeting a lot of women out there and you have some beautiful women, but you have some out there that, uh, I have to say something, some of their statements were considered so scandalous that they were then deleted from the episode completely if you're not clean in the suitable areas I can't, you know, kiss in all the places I want to kiss, as you may have guessed, these parts of Lawrence's speech are believed to have been improvised and he was banned entirely on NBC for a while Rage Against the Machine these guys were determined to hit the man even if it cost them future SNL gigs rock bands Rage Against the Machine is another group releasing politically charged music, so when Saturday Night Live producers stacked them alongside politician Steve Forbes for their episode, they were determined To take a stand before their performance, they hung the American flag upside down from their amplifiers.

The crew members came out and broke them up almost instantly and the band was reportedly asked to leave the studio once. They finished playing Steven Seagal. This actor was once named the worst host of all time by Lorne Michaels, which tells you everything you need to know about his apparent ban. It's great to be here in New York and it's great to open Saturday Night Live, but how? Did he do it? The short answer is that he wasn't funny. Segal, an action-drama movie star, was a popular celebrity at the time he hosted in 1991, but that didn't change the fact that he had almost no comedic instincts.

Something I got abroad. I was part of the SKC unit when I was there. Oh, he also had very little chemistry with the cast members and was said to have been critical of their talents and a great host must be willing to contribute. some kind of material for the show or at least deliver what is written for them and perhaps most interesting is a photo of you listening to the president in the United States on the phone as he reveals his involvement in the Kanye West conspiracy. There are very few. Artists who are more polarizing than rapper Kanye West, having performed on Saturday Night Live seven times as a musical guest, appears to be an old friend of the show, but during a 2018 appearance he decided to give an unexpected speech about supporting him.

Donald Trump was very upset by this, but ultimately it's not the reason he hasn't been bad. Since then, the artist has made a series of aggressive comments towards Pete Davidson, also known as his ex Kim Kardashian's then-boyfriend, although the claims were not completely verified there. There were rumors that this caused a ban. Davidson has since left the SNL cast, but it's unknown if West will ever return. I did this, uh, I do Kanye 2006 again. Andy Kaufman, this may have been a little out of character for comedy. The legend that Andy Kaufman was known for. his strange sense of humor and his performances, some people just weren't fans of his work, his parts were always unique to him and his comedic sensibilities, but unfortunately the reviews weren't always kind, this led Saturday Night Live to release aair emission. campaign, if Andy stays or goes, we will let you folks at home be the ones to decide if Andy will be seen on this show again, to the surprise and dismay of many, people decided to remove him from the show and so on. never stars again in this series Sinead O'Connor, what have we learned about how to be a good SNL guest so far?

Be nice to the cast and crew, read the script and there are no politics. O'Connor came to the show to perform hers. version of Bob Marley's song war I Have to Say War but he made it clear who the target of his performance was the Catholic Church and Pope John Paul II brought the Pope's photo on stage and tore it up during the song as a statement against mistreatment childish, fight the real enemy. Obviously, this wasn't a move approved of by the Saturday Night Live team, who were stunned that his appearance wasn't well received and marks the end of his time at Studio 8h, but there's no denying that he sent a message earlier.
