I gotta tell you, you have angered me with your irresponsibility.

Exact moment Shane Gillis Controversial podcast jokes in 2019, Saturday Night Live announced Shane Gillis as one of its new cast members, but

everything came crashing down pretty fast.

Just hours after the big reveal, a 2018 podcast resurfaced where Gillis was heard using offensive slurs against Chinese people and mocking their accent.

But a video of Gillis from about a year ago surfaced from Matt and Shane's secret podcast, in which he mockingly mimicked a Chinese accent and used a racist slur to refer to Asian people in Chinatown.

Other clips featuring homophobic slurs also went viral, sparking outrage and debates about whether he deserves a spot on snl.

Days later, an NBC spokesperson announced that Gillis would not be joining the cast.

The language he used is offensive, hurtful and unacceptable.

While some were in support of the show's decision, others defended the comedian for pushing boundaries.

In the end, Gillis gig on SNL was over before it even began, all because of words he spoke into a microphone.

I am sorry you had the misfortune of being a cast member during this era of cultural unforgiveness.

Never understand Michael Longfellow's departure.

Even when there's no clear reason, some SNL cast members are let go.

And that's something we'll never understand.

He joined in 2022, earned a promotion after solid performances, and

seemed to have a bright future on the show.

My family's from Arizona, so if you can get in trouble for what your parents think, it's been a good run.

In one skit, he even joked about how hard he worked.

Then, out of nowhere, his agent reportedly called, saying he wouldn't be returning for season 51.

No drama, no controversy, just an unexpected goodbye.

And I'm trying really, really hard and I love you, girl so please don't be mad at me.

Maybe it was part of the cash shakeup Lorne Michaels had hinted at earlier.

Whatever the reason, Longfellow took it in stride, even giving Michaels a shout out when he announced his exit.

Exact moment Jenny Slate's Biker Chick Chat we all make mistakes, but

A On her very first episode of snl, Jenny Slate flubbed a line on live TV and it became a pretty big deal.

In the Biker Chick Chat sketch, Slate played a tough talking biker and was supposed to say frickin.

But another word starting with f slipped out.

You stood up for yourself and I f ing love you for that.

You can even see her cheeks puff up when she realizes it.

Although she wasn't fired right away, she wasn't invited back the next season.

Many believe the slip up cost her job, but

the comedian insisted it just didn't work out for her.

Despite the setback, she went on to build a thriving career, proving that one mistake doesn't define you.

Either love it or change the frickin channel.

Never understand Chris Parnell Gets Booted out twice.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration if we said Chris Parnell was perfect.

His sharp impressions, deadpan humor, and unexpected rap skills made him one of the show's standout talents.

Just living it up on the west side Everybody just chillin poolside While my rhymes are going worldwide KT and me gotta do some slip n slide yet unbelievably, he was fired not once but twice from the sketch show.

The first came in 2001, reportedly due to budget cuts, not performance issues, though there was a rumor that an NBC executive didn't like his work.

However, after an internal support, Parnell was rehired mid season, which almost never happens.

Yet again, in 2006, he was fired from the show due to the same budget cuts.

This time around, Parnell accepted his fate.

So if it wasn't about his talent, was it just SNL being ruthless?

You were a straight shooter and I can't fault you for that.

Charles Rocket on who shot C.R. the 1980-1981 season of SNL was one of the show's roughest eras.

With Michaels gone, a new producer stepped in and nearly half of the cast was replaced.

And if that wasn't enough, critics panned the show and ratings dropped.

Yet Charles Rocket was positioned as the show's breakout star, but

that changed fast after a live slip up during a parody of who shot J.R.

he was shot, and when asked how it felt, he blurted out the F bomb.

How are you feeling now after you've been shot?

Oh man, it's the first time I've ever been shot in my life.

While it's unclear if that mistake alone got him fired, it it certainly didn't help.

Weeks later, Rocket and most of the cast were let go after that disastrous season.

Never Understand Chloe Trost quiet exit in 2023, Chloe Trost joined the SNL cast as the only featured member for the 49th season.

However, her stay on the show lasted just one season.

Trost delivered some really memorable performances as Little Orphan Cassidy and Mama Cassie, showing off her comedic range and singing voice.

Make your own kind of music, even if nobody else sings along.

Overall, she felt like an exciting new addition to snl, which made it all the more surprising when she wasn't asked back for the next season.

There have been several theories about why she was let go, but

no one knows for certain since neither the studio nor Trost offered an explanation.

I mean, sometimes it feels like nobody wants me.

There was no controversy and no public statement, which makes her departure all the more puzzling.

Monopoly during the 1985-1986 season, Damon Wayans went off script and got himself fired.

The actor had only been on the show for one season and was frustrated that many of his ideas never made it to air.

Instead, he was cast into roles where he couldn't just be as funny as he wanted to be.
