every day so be sure to subscribe to our
Channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re looking at more Saturday
Night Live hosts who are often deemed
the worst if you don’t see someone you
think should have been included be sure
to check out our first list on the topic
listen here’s the plan
we’re going to have to speak out the
back of the theater and through the
graveyard to rescue ivy number 10 Ronda
Rousey UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey
fought tooth and nail for laughs during
her hosting stint in January 2016 but
unfortunately she isn’t as fast in front
of the camera as she is in the ring Oh
big girl you take care of myself
to be honest hosting might not even be
the right word for it while she didn’t
make an ass of herself she barely
appeared in the live sketches and when
she did her acting was wooden and she
didn’t really add anything I like the
moon yeah but moon is nice yeah
what I also like the day you know we can
clearly see you looking at the cue cards
Rhonda throw in a bland performance by
Selena Gomez and you had one of the
worst episodes of season 41 number nine
Charles Grodin I didn’t know that there
would be an audience here the infamous
Charles Grodin episode is a thing of
Saturday Night Live legend Grodin took
up hosting duties in October 1977 but
awkwardly stumbled through his lines
improvised large swaths of content and
derailed sketches due to being
chuk chuk those are John’s lines Oh John
no I’m sorry some say he missed
rehearsals and bungled the night and
some say it was an Andy Kaufman esque
bit of meta humor that flew over
everyone’s heads it was a disaster
either way and few people found him
funny or enjoyable kind of like Andy
Kaufman himself a lot of the time okay
could we take it again I just can’t take
those little things off your heads
there’s no again Chuck there’s no again
this is live television
not the movies well I realize we’re
doing it live but you know there’s good
live and there’s bad live and maybe we
should try to do some good life number 8
MC Hammer by the time MC Hammer hosted
SNL on December 7 1991 he was already
dancing his way out of the zeitgeist you
can’t touch this was well behind him and
well too legit to quit proved relatively
successful
it wasn’t the earth-shattering single
that the former was as a result this
episode wreaked of a celebrity
desperately trying to hold on to
relevancy especially when you consider
that he was the musical guest as well
unfortunately he proved a bad host due
to some wood and acting and making the
odd decision to refer to himself in the
third person well he may be too legit to
quit he wasn’t too legit to fail and you
tell him his hammer number seven al
Sharpton who in the right mind thought
that a civic rights activist and Baptist
minister would make for a good Saturday
Night Live host Sharpton hosted the show
while running for president on December
6 2003 but just because someone is a
presidential candidate doesn’t mean
they’re good at comedy you ever been
arrested no I haven’t you just pulled us
home because we’re black we’re not doing
anything illegal we’re just following
the bright star in the East politicians
and Baptist ministers do not often make
for good actors as everyone predicted it
was generally a disaster a Sharpton
often looked bored and uncomfortable and
it came across as little more than a
transparent campaign ad his recent
misspelling of respect was funnier than
anything he did on Saturday Night Live
do you know anybody who speaks like
regi well no really and the rest of this
stuff is stereotypes which shouldn’t be
perpetrating these stereotypes 1935
number six Wayne Gretzky Wayne Gretzky
stint on Saturday Night Live was oddly
reassuring it reinforced the idea that
everyone has flaws and that even the
all-time greats are human Gretzky is
often considered to be the greatest
hockey player to ever lace up skates and
he’s certainly not an actor and that’s
putting it mildly
we suppose seeing him play hockey with
Wayne and Garth was cool but that’s the
extent of this episode’s quality which
saw the sports legend noticeably
glancing off-camera and delivering his
lines and jokes with the enthusiasm of a
brick wall the episode is great as a
time capsule but certainly not as a
number five Casey Affleck if there’s one
celebrity prime to host Saturday Night
Live it’s the gut-busting rip-roaring
Casey Affleck in case you can’t tell
we’re being sarcastic I have an extra
large three Parliament’s take a big dump
that’s kind of the routine to promote
that hilarious movie Manchester by the
sea Casey Affleck hosted the show in
December 2016 and well it was the same
old mumbly and deadpan Casey Affleck
you’ve come to expect
while his reserved personality may work
for dramatic movie roles it isn’t a boon
in sketch comedy besides the obvious
standout Dunkin Donuts segment Casey
seemed completely out of his element and
had little chemistry with the cast still
we must give him props for his
self-deprecating monologue I don’t know
if you’ve noticed but I have this kind
of scraggly beard and it’s not in a
Santa way but more in a duck dynasty way
number 4 Andrew Dice Clay Andrew Dice
Clay was a prominent stand-up comedian
in the late 80s known for crude and
sexist humor too much fanfare clay took
up the mantle of SNL host in May 1990
just eight months after he was banned
from MTV Isis happening to me all this
fuss over one stinking show I never
meant to hurt nobody
both Nora Dunn and Sinead O’Connor
refused to appear out of protest and
some viewers sent in hate mail and
threats but their fears were unwarranted
as clay was painfully sanitized and
blandly self-referential which made for
a dull host and also annoyed the
comedians established fan base next
thing you know you’ll pop a boner up too
you know and you’re gonna be thinking
about giving someone that nice bologna
pony you know like the failed opening of
Capone’s vault this was a national media
event that instantly deflated can you
see I wish I’d never been born
you’ve got your wish dice man you’ve
never been born
number three Louise Lasser Louise Lasser
was plastered all over the magazines of
the mid 70s due to her role in the
satirical soap opera Mary Hartman Mary
Hartman let me guess
they did tell me that this might happen
and I however she quickly left the show
after exhausting herself and seemingly
had a minor breakdown getting busted for
possessing cocaine and crawling around
looking for drugs during SNL rehearsals
I’m sorry I’m really sorry
you can do another tape no she was hated
by Chevy Chase due to her apparent
solipsism and constantly tried to back
out of her obligations the show itself
was a sloppy and awkward piece of
self-deprecating meta humor and Lauren
Michaels refused to have the episode
rerun out of embarrassment so I spoke to
one of the hookers who got arrested for
hooking in the hill and I said to her
you know when you get out of here are
you ever gonna do it again
she said not of the hill number two
Michael Phelps it’s no secret that
athletes kind of suck as comedians and
while we Netsky was awful he looks like
Jim Carrey next to Michael Phelps oh boy
that Michael Phelps episode he may be
the fastest human to ever enter water
but he had the grace of a dump truck in
front of the camera that’s funny I also
picked Stacey Beth Ashley Rachel and
Jenny friends are hot dad you’re gonna
do anything well maybe you shouldn’t
have such hot friends not only did he
have no semblance of comedic timing but
he painfully stumbled through his lines
and failed to read his cue cards on
numerous occasions the man is clearly
not comfortable in live sketch comedy
and it made for an agonizingly awkward
hour of television and as you can tell
it works wonders for me number one Nancy
Kerrigan when I was at Disney World
on the float with Mickey what I actually
said was this is the horniest thing I’ve
ever done let’s be honest here that
Nancy Kerrigan episode was a blatant
ratings ploy and nothing more after
being attacked by a hired thug linked to
rival Tonya Harding the figure skater
was national news which the producers of
SNL decided was a good enough reason to
have her host it definitely wasn’t and
Kerrigan was gobsmacking ly awful god I
ask you this how’s the knee doing well I
still have a small bump now but it
really doesn’t hurt she was a horrible
actress and comedian who lacked both
timing and charisma and she looked
supremely uncomfortable the entire time
as if she was internally questioning why
she was there go ahead no topic is
off-limits ask me anything you want
about the last few months over here
we were and still are wondering the same
thing
I was just not trying to think about
that I’m just glad that I skated to the
best of my ability do you agree with our
