Oh you guys definitely forgot a hilarious one. Biggest blooper by a Host: Brandon Frasier dressed up as Xena, Warrior princess. In a sketch that explores her Alternative Lifestyle tendencies. Frasier in character gets knocked down on his stomach (that was scripted) but loses his wig as it falls off his head. He instantly breaks character as he grabs the wig and shoves it back onto his head before trying to continue with the sketch.

The funniest thing about the John Belucci Samauri Stockbroker scene wasn't even mentioned. This was Chevy Chase's last SNL episode before he left the show. After Henry showed up with a bandage on his head, so did Chase, only his was bigger. After that, every time Chase appeared on stage again, his bandage was bigger. Finally by the end of the show, Chevy Chase sported a huge mass of gauze on his head that was actually bigger than his whole head.

In high school i thought i was going to become a comedian , in 9th grade I was doing really edgy content in front of the whole school, we were in such a small bubble kids didn't even get the jokes, and I used a skit I saw with my dad at New York comedy club, Dangerfield's, Bob Nelson and an Entire Football Team , which got so many complaints from parents and teachers me and my there teacher went in front of the school board, that would not be the last time, in the summer of 1990 i went to Dangerfield's school of comedy , which cost my grandmother 1,200 bucks, but my dad was going to put me in the USAF no matter what , and one morning a USAF Officer showed up at my house at 4 AM, my dad had packed a bag and I was in Texas before noon, in 1998 I sent in 3 commercial I wrote in High School to SNL, and they used one of them and then it was banned ,if you post it they will take it down...
