No matter your opinions on Saturday Night Live, it’s pretty undeniable that having a fully live show every week is an impressive feat. And this is definitely due to the cast and crew’s hectic but effective work schedule, with the whole thing being overseen by head producer Lorne Michaels, who has been running the show since its inception in 1975. But despite its magnitude and place in the culture, it definitely does not always go off without a hitch — and this is often due to the celebrity guests.
After last Saturday, when musical guest Morgan Wallen sparked a ton of backlash for walking offstage during the credits (very unusual for SNL), I thought it’d be worth looking back on some more stars who made waves for their behavior when on the show. So, I’ve rounded up 11 celebrity guests on SNL who were accused of being disrespectful, offensive, or just plain rude. Let’s jump in!
2. Paris Hilton
3. Sinéad O’Connor

6. Shane Gillis
7. Kanye West
8. Rage Against the Machine
9. Adrien Brody
10. Elon Musk
11. Morgan Wallen
