Donning fake dreadlocks and attempting a Jamaican patois, Saturday Night Live's in-studio audience was stunned into silence as Adrien Brody launched into a cringeworthy introduction to the musical guest. As reported by Far Out Magazine, he began his introduction saying, "Ya, ya, ya, ya, you know, man. We got original rude boy Sean Paul here." The improvisation, which has mostly been deleted from the internet, continues, "Respect all respect. My auntie. Respect all aspect, respect me neck, respect me knees, Big up Jamaica massive! Big up Kingston Massive! We got the whole family now, ya here! Big respect to my man Sean Paul the dance floor killer!"

Aside from being ostensibly unfunny, the intro was seen as racially insensitive, and Lorne Michaels was reportedly livid over Brody's decision. According to Ranker, this wasn't lost on Brody at the time either. He received "dirty looks" from the cast and crew while going off-script, and it was widely known that Michaels had disdain for anyone, even cast members, improvising (via Far Out Magazine). 

Brody's not the first or the last SNL host to land in hot water over an onscreen antic, but he was promptly banned from hosting ever again — and has joined the ranks of celebs like Steven Segal and Sinead O'Connor, who have also been asked never to set foot in the show's 30 Rock studios again.
