Larry David Quit and Un-Quit
It’s safe to say that Larry David is one of the most well-known SNL alumni. Seinfeld, one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, was actually inspired by his time on the show.
At one point, while writing for SNL, Larry David approached the producers and said, “That’s it! I quit!” However, he changed his mind over the weekend and showed up at work on Monday as if nothing had happened. David was inspired to write his first episode of Seinfeld, “The Revenge,” by this incident.
Martin Lawrence Is Banned
Several celebrities have been barred from hosting or appearing on SNL in the future. Martin Lawrence, a comedian, actor, and writer, is one of them. The star rose to prominence in the 1990s, and in 1994, she hosted the sketch show.
Unfortunately, Martin Lawrence’s monologue was all about women’s hygiene, or the lack thereof. In response to the comedian’s tirade, the show’s sponsors received over 200 complaints. It has since released clips of Lawrence’s performance that have been edited to remove the content that was infringing.
