Controversial Television Episodes That Could Never Make It On Air Today

“Saturday Night Live” (1975)

NBC

One controversial episode of Saturday Night Live featured a sketch titled “Word Association,” starring Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor. The sketch depicts a job interview scenario where a casual word association test spirals out of control. However, the content and nature of the sketch, particularly the exchange of derogatory insults including racial slurs between Chase and Pryor, would likely be met with significant criticism and backlash if it were to air today.
