Since it is broadcast live, SNL has had several infamous events that were either unplanned or provoked sufficient controversy to receive media coverage. Several hosts and musical guests have also been banned from returning due to their actions during the show. On the second season premiere (September 18, 1976) Chevy Chase, playing Gerald Ford during a Ford/Carter debate sketch, falls over a unpadded podium and injures his testicles in the process. He misses the next two shows. October 30, 1976, John Belushi accid ...

According to Arthur Funkhouser, Ph.D., there are three types of déjà vu: Déjà vu - Déjà vécu. Usually translated 'already experienced' or 'already lived through,' déjà vécu is described in a quotation from David Copperfield by Charles Dickens: We have all some experience of a feeling, that comes over us occasionally, of what we are saying and doing having been said and done before, in a remote time - of our having been surrounded, dim ages ago, by the same faces, objects, and circumstances ...

The dozens can be a harmless game of casual, good-natured jibes, an exchange of malicious insults, or, if tempers flare, a prelude to physical violence. While the competition on its face is usually light-hearted, smiles sometimes mask real tensions. In its purest form, the dozens is part of an African-American custom of verbal sparring, of "woofin'" and "signifyin'", ostensibly intended to defuse conflict nonviolently, descended from an oral tradition rooted in traditional West African cultures. Likely this stems from how many tribal dispute ...

The etymology of fuck has given rise to a great deal of speculation, which should be regarded skeptically. The authoritative Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is cautious in providing an etymology for this word. In the quotation below, the dictionary's usual abbreviations are spelled out for clarity: Early modern English fuck, fuk, answering to a Middle English type *fuken (weak verb) [which is] not found; ulterior etymology unknown. Synonymous German ficken can be shown to be related as well as Dutch fokkenSee also:

Terms of profanity have historically been taboo words. Some words originally considered profane have become much less offensive with the increasing secularity of society, while others, primarily racial or ethnic epithets which can be considered part of hate speech, have become increasingly taboo. The word cunt maintains much of its taboo status at least partly due to the influence of feminism, though other feminists are attempting to "reclaim" a neutral or complimentary status for this word. Shakespeare hinted at the wor ...

Comic timing - George Carlin. Carlin's most famous routine is his "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television", in which much of the humour is derived from his rapid-fire delivery of the seven words "shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits". The remainder of the routine is a mock-scholarly analysis of why these words are not as bad as the world would have us believe - complete with observations like "Cocksucker and motherfucker...well...I can dig why those words might be on the list". Here, comic timing is used again as Carlin moves from the rapi ...

The program began as a televised craft seminar for students of the Actors Studio Drama School, a joint venture of the Actors Studio and New School University.

The phrase is often heard in the musical community, where it is used to imply that an artist has compromised their artistic integrity in order to gain radio airplay or obtain a recording contract, especially with a major label, the classic example of this being when Chumbawumba signed to EMI after years of viciously attacking the organisation. Often, the label will force the style of a particular record producer on the performer, or insist on inclusion of songs by commercial songwriters; or the label may refuse to release an album, deeming it uncommercial, though this indicates that the artist or group ...
