Lightbulb Proposed "Best Of" DVD: Saturday Night Lives Most Infamous Moments

This should be a at the very least, a three disc set (which I can pretty much guarantee that NBC would make a lot of money off of if they did this) which would include:
Musical Performances
-NBC cutting away in the middle of the punk rock group Fear's performance.
-Sinead O'Conner ripping up the Pope's photo.
-The Rolling Stones' sole appearance on the show, where Mick Jagger is
quite obviously not wearing underwear.
-Ray Charles and the Raylettes which was their first performance (which apparently bombed big time) together since the early 1960s.
-Elvis Costello switching songs mid-away through his performance.
-Patti Smith singing "Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine!" By this time in the show it was officially Easter Sunday during
her performance of "Gloria."
-Adrien Brody's (unplanned/unscripted) rant in a Jamaican accent before introducing Sean Paul

Episodes
-Chris Farley's hosting stint which was produced just a few weeks before his untimely death.
-The Milton Bearle & Louise Lasser episodes which were apparently so bad, that Lorne Michaels has vowed that they will never reair again.
-The Chevy Chase hosted episode in which Chase got into a fist-fight w/ Bill Murray backstage before the show.
-The Charles Gordin hosted episode which got Gordin banned from ever hosting the show again. Apparently, Gordin missed rehearsal and his already clumsy performance was partially ad-libbed.
-The "Live from the Mardi Gras" episode from 1977.
-The Kate Jackson hosted episode which featured a visibly ill John Belushi.
-The Drew Barrymore episode from 2001. This is how tvtome explains what went wrong:
Quote:
Perhaps due to the emotional state that New York was in during the taping of this episode (the Anthrax scare, the 9/11 incidents) and that many of the sketches have erred lines and the actors "breaking character", this episode will probably never be shown again. This would make it the third Drew Barrymore episode that won't be shown in reruns.
-A montage of the notorious 1980-1981, 1985-1986, and 1994-1995 seasons respectively.
-The Andrew Dice Clay, Richard Pryor, & Sam Kinison hosted episodes. These are the only episodes (the ADC episode was boycotted by Nora Dunn) that had to air on a seven second delay.

Skits & Monologues:
-The "Mr. Monopoly" sketch that got Damon Wayans, who sabatoged the sketch by blatently breaking character, fired.
-The "Debbie Downer" sketch in the recent Lindsey Lohan episode.
- The "Penis" sketch (Matthew Broderick) where the word was used about
47 times.
-Any time the word "f*ck" has been slipped out during a sketch.
-Martin Lawrence's monologue.
-Christina Ricci (as Britney Spears) implying that the "Jews killed Jesus."
-Sam Kinison's "Jesus Monologue."
-During the Drew Barrymore/Garbage episode Chris Kattan (as Antonio Banderas) took his pants off during the "How Do You Say? Ah Yes, Show" sketch. Kattan added "extra hair" near his crotch without Lorne Michaels', who hates on-air suprises, prior knowledge.
-"The Nick The Lounge Singer" prison performance sketch from 1986 where
Kevin Nealon refers to Ivan Boesky (Jon Lovitz) as his "bitch."
-The Canteen Boy sketch in which Alec Baldwin played a scoutmaster who was trying to seduce Canteen Boy.
-Buck Henry getting his forehead cut in the Samurai sketch in Chevy Chase's last show.

most of the moments you listed would be great on dvd the drew barrymore show was a disasiter from minute one not only did the scare throw the cast and writers off but two other unforseen things happend that night to make things worse 1 tina must have had some dential work or something done that day because every time she had a line during update it sounded like she was on novaicane and she appered to be spiting out her lines as opposed to her normial crisp deliveray 2. macy gray was the mg. and during both of her songs her voice gave out for those snl fans who missed the ep. it was a lesson in how not to do a live show.
