I would like to lift the ban on Sinead O’Connor.
@@shaliseshaw9385 she suffered enough.
@@shaliseshaw9385 The Catholic Church was responsible for covering up literally thousands of cases of child sexual abuse. When a predatory priest was found, standard policy was to intimidate the victim to stay silent, while quietly sending the offender to another parish (where it would start all over again). The Church made Jeffrey Epstein look like an amateur.
If any organization BUT the Church acted like that, the person in charge would have been arrested. But since it was the Church, people kept looking the other way and quickly "forgetting" any scandals that went public. I commend Sinead for looking at that situation and saying, "This is wrong, and someone needs to speak up".
I would lift Martin Lawrence
Donald Trump
I mean, if you're expecting System of A Down and Rage Against The Machine to conform, you're clearly out of touch.
Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down literally conform. Most of these corporate bands are subject to conformist demands. And they almost always bend the knee.
@@raygartargaryen5927 the way the music industry is designed, no band or artist could ever rise to prominence without some sort of conformity. Or else they would forever stay underground. But bands like these, of course, have their limits and navigate the industry while striving to keep their original intentions of expression as much as they can. A good (or bad) example on the hip hop side of things are the Black Eyed Peas. Nobody recognizes that their first two albums were 100% PURE hip hop, until they picked up Fergie and turned pop overnight. Ultimately, without any sort of “selling out” we wouldn’t know about these great bands and artists. Sad, but true. But that’s the beauty of the independent route that artists today are able to utilize these days. Quality music is still out there. The difference is that back then, there was quality music in the mainstream, where as today quality music is diminishing on the mainstream and you have to actually look and know where to find new quality music and artists.
Rage was asking for vaccine passports to go to their concerts. Sell outs
@@jsgr5382 really? That makes them sell outs? Fuqq outta here! 😂 😂 😂
@@pastense by the definition of the word. Yes. They're sellouts. You wouldn't know anyway. You're still a teenager
When they mentioned Robert Blake i was expecting his ban to be about the murder charge he faced, not hurting the writers' feelings
I know right.
That probably was the real reason in the first place.
Did they know abt the murder at the time though?
@@bigverybadtom nah, he was on snl in 1985 and the murder charge didnt happen until 20 years later
@@Idiotwriter711 nope, his appearance on SNL was in 1985, his murder trial wasn't until 20 years later
Steven Seagal knows karate, akido, kung-fu, and several other dangerous words
Seagal knows Bullshido.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but Steven Seagal can't.
He may not know karate but seems a expert in karazy.
several other dangerous words. Yo, your awesome. 🤣🤣✌❤
Only thing he doesn’t know is how many cookies are enough
Okay, but having Rage perform on the same episode as Forbes was *OBVIOUSLY* going to go badly
Forbes is almost like the perfect opening act for Rage.
"Make Kanye 2006 again" was actually hilarious 😂
No it wasn’t.
No, it actually wasn’t, just like today. He’s a racist pig noted on Twitter the other day.
@@seanocean4745 Yes it was!!! I thought Trump supporters like people who call/say it like it is?
@@ryanironheart4154 trump supporter? You got “trump supporter” from me saying that wasn’t funny? Now that’s hilarious
Kanye was not funny. I don't think he knows what funny is.
I gotta give it to all the music bands who kept their act real and refusing to compromise for TV
But this is a part of the entertainment
Same
Yep
What I wanna know is (i didn't see the episode in particular) how the EFF do they expect people to stop being exactly what they are known for to perform on a set stage? Especially when you do things like pair Rage against the Machine with... *gasp* the Machine! (IE politicians)
Steven Segal isn't really an actor; he just plays a self-idealized version of himself in everything he's in.
Yes so true 💯
Ahah! So THAT’s what he’s doing!
Makes a lot more sense.
He used to be an A-lister but he fell from grace.
Sad take because it’s so painfully accurate I mean.
@@mariahlehman9777 Seagal isn't what he used to be.
Funny how Sinead O'Connor was right all along
and its fucked up that theyre trying to make it seem like she was "in the wrong"
She sure as shit was and is a victim of abuse herself.
@@jesuscruz2068 At the time, they thought she was. The real corruption of the Catholic Church wasn't known at the time.
@@eduardopena5893 she was ahead of time
@@eduardopena5893 Yes it was. Although many did a good job at hiding it reports were out even then. I watched that live and thought "Hell yeah! Go girl!". I was not only raised in a Catholic school, I remember the the many reports that had been going on well before she made that statement. The difference is most of the public wanted to turn a blind eye and the Diocese worked very hard at PR and hiding their abuses in every country. They do to this day.
13:42 Steven Segal "a drama and action film STAR" Wow that is really generous 😂
Sinead O'Connor was right on the money with her statement. I stand behind her 100%
Oh absolutely!!!
It is ironic that her "outrageous" actions, so immediately reviled, ultimately proved more than justified. I think she possesses one of the most glorious voices the world has ever known, but her personal issues and mental health challenges have prevented her from its full expression. I heard her live just once, but it was enough to be awed. She's had plenty of tragedy and torment in her life. I hope she finds peace...
@@fenwayify Agreed. There are performers and there are artists. She is definitely in the latter category.
she should never have been banned. this is USA. she had the right to do that.
I feel like she should be envied back.
Its nice to remember a time when rock bands weren’t on the side of the establishment!
I hate to shatter your dreams, but every rock band that makes into TV is on the side of the establishment.
Also I hate to break it to you both, but the establishment that's "in control" now was against the "fascists" in the past which in turn is considered anti-establisment now. Wierd how stuff like that changes every few generations
They're on tv, come on dude brighten up
Yep. In the '80s and '90s, conservatives constantly attempted to cancel so many classic rock bands but thank God they failed.
Please tell me how SOAD and RATM are on the side of the establishment cuz they’re still rocking the same messages they started with
That Grodin episode was VERY breaking the 4th wall kind of funny. As far as Adrien Brody....I'm sure he didn't put that make up on himself. He didn't go down to SNL's EXTENSIVE wig collection and STEAL those Rasta locks. The idea that HE did that all on his own and was SOLELY responsible for that Jamaican bit intro is simply absurd.
Was thinking the same thing. They got an unwelcome response to the bit so they put it all on him rather than admit they came up with something distasteful.
O'Connor was horribly abused and tortured by her mother as a child. She was ahead of times acknowledging the catholic church has been covering up child abuse forever-and because of her horrid childhood, that's why she was so passionate about the subject matter and tore up the picture of that flaming hypocrite.
Thank you!!! I’ve been saying this all along too. 🙏🏻
So how do you feel she would be treated if she did it now with all the social media and that substance..I thought it was horrible the way she was treated back then and I was just a kid back then..felt wrong you know
@@Idiotwriter711 That's a very good question. IDK? Maybe she'd get more support because people are more aware/sensitive about child abuse and countless stories of priests we've all heard about between then and now. OR....people would riot and set their communities on fire and loot stores because a few crumbs out there were offended. Again, very good question.🤔🤯
Yet she practices Islam? Thts really the pot calling the kettle black and she wasn't the first one to acknowledge it, everyone knows wht goes dwn, we know the history and all, the thing is its 2022, O connor is nowhere, the Vatican is still standing and nothing changed
@@ginadeam6813 oh thts why they looted, not years of built up aggression from being killed with no repercussions right
I agree totally with what Sinead O'Connor did.
She was correct on her disgust.
Too bad the industry ruined her after that because they love what the catholic church is about.
Cypress Hill took Insane in the brain to the next level 😳 😐 😂
Everyone understands why Chevy Chase was banned lolol
Snead O'Connor is a hero and only said the truth
Imagine expecting the Sex Pistols and getting Elvis Costello…
They toured together in the early days, there's a good chance he was about because he was support on many Sex Pistols tours
The fear incident has so much to it. Fear was an LA band playing in New York and there was a bit of an east coast west coast beef at the time. The song they played was called New York’s alright if you like saxophones. Totally a dig on NY. The kids in the audience includes minor threat and agnostic front
they aren't from la man.philadelphia.we hate everyone else
@@chrhadden “Fear, stylized as FEAR, is an American punk rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1977. The band is credited for helping to shape the sound and style of Californian hardcore punk” this is from their wiki. I love living in the city starts with the lyrics “I’m from south street Philadelphia” But they’re an LA band
@@davesleyer9393 that's just f****** weird why would they say that explains why I never been able to find Avenue C
@@chrhadden it goes back to that east coast west coast hardcore beef. They were talking mad shit about New York on snl w the song New York’s alright. As far as I love living in the city I’m unsure
FEAR was one of the bands that got me into punk music.
What did they expect when they invited them on? Lol
The Vice documentary about Kauffman and his time in Memphis wrestling was great, he is one of the best heels ever
I was at the midsouth coliseum during those days with Kaufman great performer
I think Andy & Sinead should be unbanned even though Andy is gone
Sinaed was 100 correct about the Catholic Church too
Yeah sinead should be unbanned
Remember when Andy licked Sineads bald head 🤓
Sinead is gone as well
sinead is gone too.
Loved this list with a few surprises. Kudos to Rage Against The Machine for living up to their name .What on earth was Lorne Michaels thinking 😮Andy Kaufman was a huge mistake.Elvis Costello’s move was iconic and Radio Radio was one of the hottest performances ever🔥 He came back to pull the same thing with The Beastie Boys where he jumped on stage and said there’s no reason to do this song and did a great Radio Radio
You have to wonder what Lorne was thinking having a presidential candidate host the same night RATM was musical guest. Pretty much a recipe for disaster.
Also, the vote on whether to keep or dump Andy Kaufman seemed kind of weird. I'll bet Lorne never would have allowed that had he been with the show at the time. He left the show (along with the rest of the original cast) in 1980, but returned in the fall of 1985 at the insistence of the network.
Actually it was The Beastie Boys, not Green Day who were performing and joined Elvis to do Radio Radio when he came back.
@@JamesDavis-sh9gh oops my mistake I will edit it accordingly thanks
Oh c'mon RATM has shilled for the democratic party for the last decade. Raging for the machine. Their tickets are also hundreds of dollars. Definitely living up to their anti-capitalist stance.
I think Andy Kaufman was let go because of the sexist comments he made whenever he defeated a woman in an on air wrestling match. He was booed for it as well.
When I saw Fear on the list, I thought they were banned because of bad language from lead singer Lee Ving (who also appeared in the movie Flashdance).The real reason turned out to be even better.
When I was a teen I didn't have mtv or anything we were super poor and a friend gave me a mixtape and cassette player and I loved that thing and fear was on it but I don't even know till this video that the dude from flash dance that's horrible was the guy from fear that I would scream songs through my headphones. Great times
I'm from the future, here to tell you that they brought Shane Gillis back to host.
And as we found out, Sinead O'Connor was completely right.
I could have watched this segment all night! Loved it💞
It wasn't an angry violent moshpit...it was just a "moshpit".
I find it striking that so few of them occurred within the 21st century. Adrien Brody, Shane Gillis, Kanye, and no others?
Lmfao
"No... we don't mean off in the 'Green room' "
Expecting Cyprus Hill to NOT smoke would be as logical as inviting a certain Dogg to perform at something quiet... you know, like the Superbowl or something.... and expecting said Dogg to not wear a specific hue, or to not do a certain walk... or most absurd of all- to NOT spark one up 😅
A lot of Cypress Hill's songs are about MJ, so they should've seen it coming.
Lol @ "specific hue" 🤣
Adrien Brody in the thumbnail….
Love his performance in The Pianist.
I agree. He gets too much flack
@@joshuamohlman For what though? I'm sick of this woke shit condemning people for not fitting the mold. Segal, I understand though 😂
@@Obi-ThreeKenobi I’ve heard a bunch of stuff, but I don’t care about that jazz. I think he’s a good actor. Segal though, is just a prick
@@joshuamohlman Agreed! I didn't mean to sound aggressive, lol, I was just curious. Personally, I've never been a fan, and Predators confirmed that, I've just never heard about his personal life - I try to stay away from that, ya know?
@@Obi-ThreeKenobi nah it’s all good. In my experience I tend to separate what goes on in an actors personal life from their work
Story behind Louise Lasser from what I heard is that at the time, she was going through relationship problems and actually HAD a legitimate mental breakdown to where she wouldn't even leave her dressing room.
As a kid my granny got me watching Mary Hartman,Mary Hartman. Great Spoof on Day time dramas! She abruptly left that popular tv series. Unfortunately Louise Lasser had dx MH issues, sadly both her parents committed suicide.
@@sondraW Yes I read about that on her wikipedia page. The strange thing she tried to commit suicide herself, but stopped herself and her mom got mad at her. It was probably for the best she left Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman since she had to act like she was having a nervous breakdown, but really had one on that show. However she was doing the show 5 days a week like an actual soap opera, so add that along with a suicide attempt and her parents committing suicide, she had some personal problems!
Then she should have called in sick
@@sondraWI lost one too that way but never brought it to work on my shoulders.
I think these celebrities should be considered among the very fortunate.
Who would want to be on SNL in the recent years?!...
I remember back when I wantes to be a musician with a decent enough following, in that fantasy, I would be asked not to play a song, turn to my band mates and say "So, we're totally playing that, right?"
Shane Gillis went from possible cast member to a host. crazy how their minds changed so fast within a year
I’m surprised that the Louise Lasser episode is available on Peacock, not to mention that it even has Preservation Hall Jazz Band’s performance available.
Chevy Chase was banned from all NBC programs because when he was doing promotions for his film Foul Play or Fletch on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson! He talked about seeing Rock Hudson out to dinner with a guy. They were very affectionate. Chevy Chase said that he didn't know he liked guys and how his mother was going to be mad. Back then celebrities off screen lives were quite. No TMZ to put people business into the street. Johnny Carson was the 1 who banned Chevy. And he didn't come back to NBC until after Johnny Carson died!
I think Chevy is well known to be a jerk. I saw him behind the scenes for Hot in Cleveland, and he made a gross joke. Don't like him.
Here's the thing, if you're a band, you only need to perform SNL once. You go in, piss off all the right people and never come back. Rage against the Machine and System of a Down prove that.
Good job on this bit .
Thanx for listening the years!
Actually, a pretty interesting list. I do remember watching that Sinead O'Connor episode - it was one of the most surreal things I'd seen on television up till that point. You sure knew something went off script, but she was surely on the mark. Unfortunately, it destroyed her career. Given she was from Ireland, she understand the abuses of the Church in a far more direct and visceral way. Yes, it was bad in the US and elsewhere , but in Ireland, where the Catholic Church had political control, the abuses were off the chart. They're still counting the casualties.
I would’ve lifted the ban for Andy Kaufman-he was funny.
9:48. Fear! 👊 Saturday night live needs more of this. 👊✊🍺🍺🍺🍺
They could have really threw them off by playing strangulation instead. If i was there i would have moshed it up. I am familiar with that scene at that time up into the 90's.
I already know Steven Seagal is gonna be number one 🤣
but he wasn´t number one 😆
@@skylarjeselnik, I just saw that 😆
Of course Steven Seagal would be on this list.
@@margarethmichelina5146, I mean I wasn’t alive during that era of SNL, but I saw one sketch with him in it…. and that was the only one I was willing to watch ☠️
@@sarcoboi12v3 but there it is dissention
Kanye West has me convinced that the movie "Get Out" was a documentary.
so you're saying a black person can't have their own mind and own opinions?
@@anon131 No, I'm saying a black person being a Trump supporter makes as much sense as a Jewish person being a Nazi, and that was the only explanation I could think of. That, or some truly horrifying insanity.
@@Fayanora you ain't black if you didn't vote biden right???🤣🤣🤣
@@Fayanora Probably because Trump did far more for black people than Obama?
@@Fayanora what a racist thing to say.... so your saying a black person can't be a trump supporter. Man the media has really brainwashed idiots as yourself.
As soon as I saw the title I knew Daron was gonna bring soad here
shane gillis is hosting in two weeks now 😭😭
We all owe Sinead O’Conner a huge apology.
Sinead was right! ❤️
Zappa died almost 30 years ago, and yet everyone still knows his name. SNL should have been honored to have him host.
I think, like Esther Williams, he is only known to certain generations. Unlike the Beatles or Houdini.
Wait, he's dead?
@@andywinslow9638 For decades. But I was surprised to find people who didn't know George Harrison also died years ago.
@@bigverybadtom Zappa was foundational to modern pop music, as any music historian will confirm.
🎵CATHOLIC GIRLS🎶 🎩 ZAPPA🎵🎼
Forgot to mention Belushi joined in the fear mosh pit
FEARs performance was amazing.
They say they don’t want the hosts to bring up politics, SNL is very political
Most hypocritical shit ever
I find it a little funny that it's only been about a year and a half since this video and Shane Gillis just hosted this past week
Sometimes, when these bands behave like I look at them and cringe… it’s like they are over compensating. I can imagine them talking before the show saying ‘what can we do to look really hardcore and edgy’. They just come across as trying too hard.
Shane Gillis wasn’t Banned!!! He was fired, and believe it or not, there is a difference between the two
Watchmojo has done this top 10, another top 10, and top 20 so now we're just say a list.
SNL: You’re banned from ever performing again on our show!
Banned performer: oh, so the 10 people left who watch your show won’t get to see me do skits?
Last time I checked they get millions of views
@@aw3706 It's called sarcasm through exaggeration. I can see why you're an SNL fan as you obviously have no sense of humor!
To be totally honest, if one of the other two broadcast networks ever put something up against SNL as competition, SNL would be gone pretty quickly. They're only survived this long because they have no competition. Their opposition is nothing but reruns of other shows and whatever is on MeTV.
The best part of the FEAR episode, was that the crowd moshing was comprised of both New York and D.C. punks, including Ian Mackaye from Minor Threat, Henry Rollins and i think even a little Harley Flanagan of the Cro-Mags
Adrien Brody can wear fake dreadlocks, but GOD FORBID you make fun of his nose 😆
My favorite actor, he has a great nose.
No both of those things are wrong
Still think it's weird that shows that air at night/late evening in the US can't have swearing or "dirty" humour. Like, why are kids watching a show that's meant for adults and also on when they should be in bed?
I think they can get away with sexual humor late at night, but the "F" bombs have always been a no-no.
@@TimHayes But the bleeping just draws MORE attention to it than if they'd just swore. And EVERYBODY knows what word they're bleeping out anyway.
One that they really missed about Rage was when they put the upside-down American flags up, staff told them to take it down so they did and then right before the performance, the band members *put them back up.*
Also, they still used all the curse words.
That band is a legend
Absolutely. Writing about raging against capitalism while esconsed in the comfort of their mansions.
It’s illegal to hang the flag upside down. There’s a lot of laws regarding the flag, and I’m sure the staff didn’t wanna catch flack for letting it happen without warning
@@lisalove991that’s a stupid law then
That was worth watching just to see Charles Grodin as Art Garfunkel...
Louise Lasser was using cocaine pretty heavily at this time. She got arrested at an airport for possession soon after this.
Chevy Chase has the reputation of being a Demon on The Set! From cast to the crew, no one can stand him.
lol Shane Gillis is about to host SNL
Poor Louise Lasser. She was a crazy interesting actress
It’s 2022, you never seen them on Saturday Night Live ever again.
List: Actors who tanked their careers (musicians have their own list)
A. Brody could be on this list
He’s going to have a bigger role on Winning Time as Pat Riley
That Adrien Brody shit was hilarious man
Imagine that, a saxophone player in a punk band 🤔
This has to be the 20th time u guys have done this video
Sinead O'Connor's scandal was so polarizing for SNL that for the next couple of decades, no host or musical guest could say ANYTHING off script at all
Turns out she was right.
@@intorainbowzOG Perhaps but can you blame the Pope for what individual priests do?
@@dragonweyr44 as the leader you are responsible for what your employees do. And the whole moving around pedophile priests which it's pretty clear JP2 was aware of.
@@intorainbowzOG My republican friends blame Biden for $4 gas and praise Trump for $2 gas
Does that mean that either was responsible for the price of gas?
Not in the least
So is the Pope responsible for moving around predatory priests?
No.
I blame the bishops and cardinals who are DIRECTLY responsible
@@dragonweyr44 he did absolutely NOTHING! That’s just as bad as the abuse.
from what i know about Andy Kaufman he would have actually loved the fact he got kicked off the show his style of comedy was build around making his audience uncomfortable or straight up angery. this helped set into place what he really wanted to do, be a "bad guy wrestler" and boy did he. He did it so well in fact he might be responsible for wrestling entering the main stream all togeather R.I.P you lovely piece of shit.
"Less Than Zero" was about the British 1930s fascist Oswald Mosley, and Costello felt that American audiences didn't really get it - thinking, for example, that it was about JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. He saw SNL as possibly being for him what the Ed Sullivan Show had been to the Beatles, and he wanted to perform a song that American audiences wouldn't be confused by. I get that his record label might have been precious about the change of plan, but I can't see why SNL were put out. Radio Radio is one of his biggest early hits, so I'm sure the audience were happy.
Elvis Costello was 100% right and showed integrity for the right reason, not just because he wanted to swear or smoke pot on stage. Pretty sure that's why they ended up lifting up the ban (in the most awesome way :D). Pretty sure Lorne Michaels was never too pleased with the idea of forbidding Costello from playing Radio Radio if I had to guess. Pretty sure the decision came from the top, but I don't know enough on the subject this is just my guess.
Not like they’re really missing out on much anyways.
11:15 Wait, somebody probably has seen and approved Adrien Brody's bit prior to airing it, right?
nope, which was why he was banned.
Lorne Michaels DESPISES ad libbing on stage.
it's actually the core reason most of these people were banned from the show.
@@kyuven it would have never made today
Not even close. He did that on a whim without approval. SNL had no idea Adrien was going to do that.
@@angeliquesoul6719 So he had the fake dreads with him as well as the change of clothes the whole time without anyone from backstage knowing what he will do?
@@kyuven No, going off script is an understandable ban especially if they were warned not to. No one can really anticipate that from happening and on a network with strict airing rules, that could mean somewhere between a warning to a fine. But what about the the fake dreads and change of clothes? Somebody from production must have known what happened next unless he was able to somehow hide it.
Fraternity Bros passed Joints 2 BB 👑 Band at Adrian, Michigan at our Methodist College 😆
I'd lift the ban on ALL of them.
ESPECIALLY Fear!
From the list of people banned it sounds to be better to be banned than called back for another show.
Why ? I would bring people back
Ummm you forgot Damon Wayans who got the ax for the “F” word and the biggest offender of all Andrew Dice Clay. 🤷🏼♀️🙄
They should bring back The Replacements! Or at least Tommy Stinson’s current group, Cowboys in the Campfire!
Wow that’s crazy man so strange
What Sinead O’Connor did is actually cool…just look at what the Catholic Church has become
Yeah it was brave what she did
SNL should apologize to her. She tried to warn people about the Catholic priest sex scandal about a decade before Spotlight broke the story.
@@AmazingThor exactly!!! It would be a step in the right direction. The Catholic Church knows they are in the wrong
Frank Zappa was a genius. Rage Against the Machine, Cyprus Hill are amazing. Maybe SNL should check out who they're hiring and try to be realistic if the musical guest really fits the audience. Choices made poorly by those in charge should not be laid at the feet of the performer for doing what they're known to do. For shame, SNL.
Martin....probably the only guest that wouldn't be problematic this time around.
Lol funny how shane gillis ends up coming back a year later as a host to SNL and killed it.
Sinead O'Connor deserves a medal for what she did on the show not a ban!!!
Agreed
Excellent comment. Sinead O'Connor performed on SNL in 1992 where she criticized the Catholic church for its treatment of children. The Boston Globe published its investigation of sexual abuse of minors by the Catholic clergy in 2002. In 2022, I feel that she has been thoroughly vindicated by history.
Right, I remember seeing her do that and at the time I really didn't know what the purpose was. Now in the present I fully understand what that rebellious gesture was for. I like the way she did a cover of Bob Marley's song War and why she chose it. A lot of Catholics don't know that the Pope is the U.S. secret military general. Not only that a papal decree that is still in effect written by Pope Nicholas V called Dum Diversas in 1452. F'd up sh*t on that decree.
Charles Grodin had his problems years back in the early days of SNL as guest host. Only heard he was banned, but apparently he was invited back later on and refused it.
Terrible. He’s long gone now, but at least he left behind a legacy with Beethoven. One, which I remembered him fondly for.
But was unprepared
@@lexkanyima2195 I think he was just too stupid to host the show. He acted like it!
Everyone of them, hell it's SNL they should be lucky to get anyone.
I watched the Adrian Brody show when it was live. I have no memory of the ad lib with dreadlocks. I must have been in the kitchen.
Forever a S/o to Sinéad O'Connor for doing that! 💯
I didn't understand when I was a kid but I do now.
She was 100% correct, as I recall the Catholic Church did very little to stop what was going on.
Stephen Seagal being banned is not surprising. One of most hated Actors ever.
It was obvious how
Calling him an actor is a bit generous
Watching this a year later and the “it’s safe to say Shane Gillis won’t be asked to visit Studio 8H anytime soon” made me laugh out loud
I didn’t see the Martin Lawrence/Crash Test Dummies episode when it first aired, but when I saw it in syndication and most of the monologue got replaced with a statement stating that it almost cost everyone at SNL their jobs, I was thinking that maybe it was too “black“. But then I read the transcript online and I was like, “OH.“
O'Connor wasn't lying though
She was absolutely right and she was right to say it
@@onionbubs386 exactly 💯
Absolutely
You forgot Charles Rocket and the F-word incident from the infamous sixth season of SNL that he and Gilbert Gottfried banned from the show shortly after.
Why ?
for all the banned artists, yall are most welcome to host SNL Pyongyang 🤩🤩🤩
man, Sinead was indeed so misunderstood, specially by Enablers like Madonna.
