How to get banned from Saturday Night Live (Part 1)

Say "Fuck" (in the 80s)

Probably the only memorable part of the 1980-81 Season, Charles Rocket got his mediocre ass fired for saying "fuck" on the air during the "goodnights" at the end of the show. Some chick from Dallas was the host. He had been "shot" during an earlier sketch and this was a continuation of it. Eddie Murphy had a deadly reaction. Eddie was like, 18 or 19 when he was on the show.



Not only did Charlie get fired, so did the producer




Edit: I placed "in the 80s" in brackets because you don't get banned for it anymore.

Norm MacDonald in the 90s:



Jenny Slate did it in this season's premiere:

Didn't Norm get fired, though?

He got fired long after that. He got fired because the west coast executive producer wanted him fired. The guy was a friend of O.J. Simpson.
