Frank Zappa

When Frank Zappa was first invited to Saturday Night Live as a musical guest back in 1976, everyone was excited to see his untapped talent go the distance. His performance was, of course, a hit and succeeded in earning him a larger degree of fame. Two years later, he was invited back to the show, this time as a guest host.

Given the singer’s successful appearance two years earlier, everyone had high expectations for his return. Unfortunately, his time as the show’s host proved to be underwhelming, earning him a spot among SNL’s worst guest hosts ever. Even though it didn’t really affect his musical career that much, we’re guessing it must have been a big blow to his ego. Oh well, he’s not alone in this title anyway. He still went about his life and stayed active in the industry until 1993.
