Every Star Who Has Been Banned From 'Saturday Night Live'

13. The Replacements

The band came in as a last-minute replacement for The Pointer Sisters, true to their band name.

They performed “Kiss Me on the Bus” while visibly drunk and out of it while missing cues, then played “Bastards of Young,” as frontman Paul Westerberg yelled “Come on f–ker.” Their bass player Tommy Stinson later said that disastrous performance embodied the band.

14. Charles Grodin

The Rosemary’s Baby star hosted the show in 1977, but he skipped rehearsals ahead of time, and attempted to adlib lines after arriving late.

He also apparently did not try to fit in with the cast, including John Belushi who said: He doesn’t smoke dope…he’s not one of us.”

15. FEAR

Fear, the notorious punk rock band, was fronted by Lee Ving, who was known for his aggressiveness, and the band’s live performances were chaotic and unapologetic.

Thanks to John Belushi‘s admiration for the band, he arranged for them to perform on the show. However, their set, featuring rowdy slamdancers, incited chaos and controversy. The band’s provocative remarks and behavior led to their performance being cut short, and they were subsequently banned from SNL indefinitely.
