	Yes, obscenity is different from profanity.

	Lorne Michaels is such a little bitch.

	I suspect the 'banned for life' list is largely a myth. Most of these people couldn't get on any show these days. Some because they're dead, but mostly because their careers are. Costello's switching songs live on the air was probably scripted and known in advance. He appeared on the SNL 25th Anniversary special with the Beastie Boys and they did the same thing. With the same songs. Surprised Andrew Dice Clay isn't on the "list" too.

	I agree that the list is mostly for show, and is subject to Lorne's whims, but as best I can tell the Costello thing was not scripted and that prompted Lorne to ban him. He came to his senses and Costello had been a musical guest twice after the incident, not including the anniversary where he did the same thing as a joke.

	I'm surprised Norm MacDonald isn't here. I was certain he must have been the "former cast" member answer. I really wonder if they're going to release these incidents uncut on the DVD sets.

	Didn't seem to accept Sinead O'Connor?

	Costello was reinstated ten years later. Norm MacDonald was simply fired but Lorne forgave him one year later since fans liked him so much. I think Chevy Chase was as well. Meanwhile, Adrien Brody's banishment may be the dumbest reason of them all. It's not his fault the scripts usually suck.
