Nora Dunn

Speaking of Nora Dunn, after she boycotted the Andrew Dice Clay episode, she was left out of the next episode, which happened to be the season finale. However, Jon Lovitz said she was being let go anyway: “It’s the last show of the season. Nora… she caused a lot of trouble. [She] was very hard to get along with, and they weren’t going to ask her back, anyway… and this is how the press works. And I’m telling you I’m on the inside of this. They don’t know the story. It’s like she’s just doing it to get press. It’s her last hurrah. They’re not asking her back onto the show.”

Donald Trump

Donald Trump was invited to host SNL for a second time right in the middle of his 2016 presidential campaign. His appearance caused a lot of controversy, backlash, and protests. He appeared for a total of 12 minutes on the show due to the equal-time rule, but the episode drew in 9.3 million views, a 4-year view at the time. He has not been invited back after winning the election and we have a feeling he won’t be invited back soon.
