Martin Lawrence
The host Martin Lawrence’s monologue on February 19, 1994, sparked outrage due to numerous uncouth references to female hygiene. In subsequent airings, the offending segment was replaced with a voiceover from writer Jim Downey, who stated that the excised “…was a frank and lively presentation, and nearly cost us all our jobs.” Lawrence has never appeared on the series again.

Cypress Hill’s DJ Muggs lit a joint on stage during a 1994 appearance on Saturday Night Live to commemorate the rap group’s first appearance on the show. Needless to say, it was also their final appearance. Who would have thought that doing such a thing on live TV would get them banned on the show?
