Martin Lawrence

This comedian gave a monologue that proved to be very controversial on February 19, 1994. Martin Lawrence became the subject of public rage due to his awful jokes about female hygiene. It was the last time he ever appeared on the show. This part was later taken out and replaced with Jim Downy saying that this part of the episode “…was a frank and lively presentation, and nearly cost us all our jobs.”

Cypress Hill

In 19994, DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill celebrated the first SNL appearance of the rap group in an extraordinary way. He decided to light a joint while they were on stage! As you can imagine, this did not end well. It was their first time on the show, but it also proved to be their last.
