"Kenan got me banned from Saturday Night Live," Jackson told Leslie Jones, who was guest-hosting The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Jackson says the "ban" was the result of him dropping the F-word during a 2012 "What Up With That?" sketch. "He didn't cut me off soon enough and I said the forbidden word on television," Jackson said. "He was supposed to cut me off!" EW reports, however, that there is no official ban on Jackson, who hasn't been on the show since the F-word incident.

Samuel L. Jackson: Lorne Michaels personally told me "you're not banned" from SNL

In March, Jackson said that he got banned for using profanity on-air on Saturday Night Live during a 2012 "What's Up With That?" sketch. At the time, EW said there was no ban. And Jackson was told directly by Michaels when he ran into the Saturday Night Live boss. The two ended up debating whether he was banned, leading Jackson to conclude: "So maybe I'm not. I don't know."
