Andy Kaufman – Saturday Night Live
The ban imposed on the late comedian Andy Kaufman by Saturday Night Live remains the most peculiar in the show’s history. In 1983, the show’s former producer allowed the audience to vote if the comedian would ever be allowed on the show again. Viewers were presented with two numbers to call and cast their votes, unfortunately resulting in a majority voting against Kaufman’s return to the show.
We don’t know what he did that made the viewers vote this way, but we don’t think he deserved to be banned.
