8 Celebrities Who Are Banned from SNL

8. Rage Against the Machine

The rap/punk/hard metal group were only able to perform one song before being kicked off the stage and the show forever. The normally violent and politically driven group hung American flags upside-down on their amps before performing their hit Bulls on Parade. Republican presidential nominee Steve Forbes was the host that night. The inverted flag, a symbol of distress or emergency, was meant as a protest against having Forbes as a candidate. Lorne Michaels was enraged that his stage was used as a political platform against a presidential candidate.
