While it's an honor to be hosting the hit NBC comedy show, some celebrity hosts' jokes in their opening monologue unfortunately became an insult to the others.

AceShowbiz - After winning an Oscar, Adrien Brody might be at his highest fame in the early 2000s, but it didn't mean he could do as he pleased on "SNL". Back in 2003, the actor was heavily criticized over cultural appropriation as he introduced the musical guest of the night, reggae artist Sean Paul.
Going off script, Adrien insensitively wore fake dreadlocks in addition to speaking in a stereotypical Jamaican accent. "Ya, ya, ya, ya, you know, man. We got original rude boy Sean Paul here. Respect all respect. My auntie. Respect all aspect, respect me neck, respect me knees, Big up Jamaica massive! Big up Kingston Massive! We got the whole family now, ya here! Big respect to my man Sean Paul the dance floor killer!" so he said. He was then banned from the show.
