Even though he was a cast member, I'd say Chevy Chase. Isn't he now banned from hosting SNL?

Can't think of other hosts right now who are prideful and take themselves far too seriously.

Well, most people don't like narcissists... especially when dealing with them directly.

I always wondered if that is why the show ended with such a grim storyline for her.

life, but they weren't hosting.

Bieber seems to be top o' the list for bad hosts, although Chevy Chase did start a fistfight on his return.

Andthey really hate Kande West.

All told, it's been on forever and had very few Sinead moments, which does say something.

asking Kenan Thompson about Kanye. At the end of the show when the entire cast is on stage, Kanye went off on some rant, and Kenan just walked right off the stage and down the hall, like don't associate me with that shit.

with antics like mugging for the camera and directly telling the audience he was using cue cards. IIRC, one of the SNL oral history books also stated that Zappa made several bizarre Halloween related recommendations for set decoration as his appearance happened in late October

I’m one who likes Zappa’s humor so I probably would’ve enjoyed his hosting.

I remember his opening monologue was full of profanity.

I’m surprised Berle and Zappa aren’t higher, although there are some equally horrible names ahead of them. Since this is a cast list, I’m thinking some of the more recent cast members are too young to remember those poor performances
