System of a Down
When System of a Down performed on SNL in 2005, they refused to self-censor their performance, so each time they cursed during the performance it was muted. However, band member Daron Malakian yelled out “f*** yeah!” without warning, so producers couldn’t edit it live. It was edited out of the West Coast telecast.

Comedian Shane Gillis was one of three new cast members chosen to be added to the lineup in 2019. However, the night before the announcement, offensive comments made by Gillis were posted online, causing a huge backlash and demands that he be removed. Four days later, Lorne Michaels’ spokesperson announced that Gillis was removed from the cast.
