Martin Lawrence is renowned for his occasionally unpredictable behavior, and during his hosting stint on Saturday Night Live in 1994, he left a lasting impression on the crew with a memorable act that they would not soon forget. It is customary for the host to open the show with a monologue, and after days of rehearsal, Lawrence decided to go completely off-script on live TV. Lawrence made highly offensive remarks about women and their hygiene, employing crude language that blatantly violated SNL’s stringent guidelines and standards.
