Watch This Forbidden Steven Seagal ‘SNL’ Supercut While You Still Can
It would be easier to find footage of Bigfoot riding the Loch Ness Monster than it would be to legally obtain a video of Steven Seagal’s infamous Saturday Night Live monologue.
Don't Miss
Though Seagal’s episode remains available for streaming on Peacock, every one of his appearances on the episode save the Farley sketch has been erased – you can’t even find a transcript of his opening monologue through any legal channels. However, one 60-second supercut of Seagal’s disastrous appearance somehow has remained on YouTube for eight months now, and if you’re the kind of person who can’t turn away from train wrecks, you should watch it ASAP before an army of Lorne Michaels’ lawyers eliminate the video and “disappear” those responsible for its dissemination.
It’s a testament to the patience of the famously put-upon SNL cast that Seagal even made it across the finish line that fateful Saturday night. Every celebrity who was around in the early 1990s has a horrible story to tell involving Steven Seagal, but the SNL gig is the most notorious for the high number of superstars Seagal offended, the sheer inadequacy of his comedic chops and the fact that, apparently, Michaels was pondering the unprecedented move of firing Seagal from the hosting job as late as the Wednesday before the show.
Michaels’ animosity toward his show’s most infamous host extends to the furthest reaches of the internet, so don’t expect this Seagal sampler to stay up forever. What goes up, must come down – especially when it involves banned SNL episodes.
