So Funny! 20 Years Ago Martin Lawrence Banned From 'SNL' for Monologue

(Via Yahoo)

"It was 20 years ago Wednesday that Martin Lawrence hosted "Saturday Night Live" for his first — and last — time.


The comic's opening monologue, a critique on feminine hygiene that included recommendations for the "unusual use of Tic Tacs, Certs, and Stick-Ups room deodorizer," as the New York Daily News put it back in the day, prompted hundreds of complaint calls, howls from NBC affiliates, and an on-the-fly editing job by "SNL." (Only East Coast viewers watching the Feb. 19, 1994, show live saw Martin's routine in its entirety; the offending portion was deleted for the tape-delayed broadcasts and subsequent reruns.)"
