Adrien Brody is an Oscar winner for his role in The Pianist. To promote this movie, Adrien guest-hosted SNL on May/10/2003, but has never returned to host again. Former head writer, Tina Fey has mentioned on several occasions that he was one of the worst guest hosts, notably during an interview with Howard Stern in 2006 and again with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live in 2010. See below for a reason.

Banned from SNL Edit

On May/10/2003, Adrien hosted SNL. All was going smoothly, until Adrien was supposed to introduce Jamaican performer Sean Paul and Wayne Wonder as Musical Guests for the second song of the night. Adrien, instead, dressed in traditional Rastafarian attire, speaking in a Jamaican accent and went on a "tirade" for almost 45 seconds.

Lorne Michaels is notorious for his dislike of improvisation and unannounced performances, and was furious, since this move had not been planned with any of the writers, producer, or Lorne himself. Brody was banned by the end of the night for not obtaining clearance before performing this "monologue."
