Martin Lawrence

Martin Lawrence in Saturday Night Live? Seems like a match made in heaven, right? Well, not quite. Hilarious as the comedian may be, his little comedic jab almost cost SNL’s writers their jobs.

If you’re curious, Lawrence made several unrefined jokes about female hygiene. As you’d expect, what followed was an onslaught of angry feedbacks from viewers and the show producers. Unfortunately, the show still had to be re-run for a couple more days, meaning that more viewers could take offense from Lawrence’s joke. To fix this, SNL’s writers added a voiceover to cover up the comedian’s insensitive joke. The degree of stress it gave the staff and crew was immeasurable. Due to this, Lawrence was never invited to show ever again. Despite this, however, the comedian-producer still managed to achieve a relatively successful career in Hollywood. Hopefully, he has already learned from this mistake and avoided any similar jokes.
