Claudine Longet
Claudine Longet never appeared on SNL, but the French pop singer and actress is at the center of one of the show’s biggest controversies. In 1976, she allegedly shot and killed skier Vladimir “Spider” Sabich.
Several weeks after the murder, SNL aired a sketch featuring stock footage of falling skiers overdubbed with gunshots with the title “The Claudine Longet Invitational”. The sketch led to a cease-and-desist from Longet’s lawyer, a public apology from the show, and the sketch being pulled.
