An entire list of people banned from SNL proves the show has had many moments of chaos. Kanye West once rapped in support of Donald Trump before getting banned, while the likes of band Rage Against the Machine and actress Louise Lasser also faced a show entry removal.

List of people banned from SNL

There are a select amount of people banned from Saturday Night Live, including Louise Lasser, Adrien Brody, Chevy Chase, Samuel L. Jackson, Kanye West, Sinéad O’Connor, Martin Lawrence and Cypress Hill.

Band Rage Against the Machine also got a ban from SNL, as well as System Of a Down, Steven Seagal, and Shane Gillis. Adrien did an impression of the musical guest, Sean Paul, which offended viewers.

After singing a cover of Bob Marley’s War, Sinéad ripped a picture of Pope John Paul II and said, “Fight the real enemy.” Louise Lasser is said to be the first ‘banned’ person but claims it was never official.

Why did Rage Against The Machine get banned?

Rage Against The Machine ended up getting banned from SNL after an act of protest against guest host Steve Forbes. They hung a pair of upside-down American flags from their amps before a performance.

Their performance was meant to involve the supposed first of two songs for the night, Bulls on Parade. But SNL stagehands removed the flags just seconds before their performance.

They appeared on the show on April 13, 1996, and were banned after an incident no one at home saw. They acted in protest against NBC and the fact Forbes hosted the show the same day they performed.

Why Kanye West was banned from SNL

Kanye West was banned from SNL after he pledged his support for Donald Trump during a performance in 2018, the same year he visited the then-US President in the White House.

After being given a rare opportunity to perform three songs in a single episode, West used his third performance slot to voice his support for Trump and rant about the mainstream media and politics.

He was banned after that moment, despite previously appearing on the show seven times. Ye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian later went on to meet Pete Davidson on SNL, who she dated for several months.
