Nora Dunn

Andrew Dice Clay’s appearance did allegedly lead to actresses Nora Dunn being blacklisted from SNL. The five-year veteran of the series boycotted Clay’s appearance, and in turn was left out of the following episode, which was the season finale, and was then fired.

However, according to Jon Lovitz, plans to let Dunn go were in play before the Dice Clay incident: “It’s the last show of the season. Nora… she caused a lot of trouble. [She] was very hard to get along with, and they weren’t going to ask her back, anyway… and this is how the press works. And I’m telling you I’m on the inside of this. They don’t know the story. It’s like she’s just doing it to get press. It’s her last hurrah. They’re not asking her back onto the show.”
