Adrien Brody is said to be in the running for another Academy Award after his performance in the upcoming Brady Corbet film The Brutalist, and many are reminiscing over his landmark performance in The Pianist and the many moments that have marked his career.

After becoming a regular within the world of Wes Anderson, starring in films such as The Grand Budapest Hotel and The French Dispatch, as well as independent dramas such as Detachment and The Thin Red Line, the actor became the youngest to win the Academy Award for ‘Best Actor’ in 2003, which was tainted by his controversial kiss with Halle Berry on stage.

But while reflecting on his past exploits during the press tour for The Brutalist, the actor revealed the truth behind his now-censored performance on Saturday Night Live, leading him to never star on the show again.  

The inception of SNL became a hot topic of conversation after the release of Saturday Night, Jason Reitman’s feature film about the very first broadcast of the show and the chaotic behind-the-scenes occurrences that all pointed towards it being a colossal failure. Since the first iterations of the show, there have been many iconic moments that have defined its history, with knockout performances from comedy legends such as Will Ferrell, Chevy Chase, Tina Fey and Maya Rudolph.  

However, the creation of comedy sketches doesn’t come without risk, and because of this, the show has been host to many controversies and cringe-worthy monologues that haven’t quite made the cut, with Adrien Brody’s 2003 appearance on the show being wiped from history after he performed a racist skit without their approval.  

The actor was set to introduce Jamaican artist Sean Paul, who hastily decided to raid the costume department and open his set wearing a dreadlocks wig and imitating a Jamaican accent. The actor was recently asked about the rumour that he was banned from appearing on the show after the incident, with Brody sharing how the offensive stunt was orchestrated and the many ideas he pitched to the showrunners.

Brody explained, “They were all literally agape from me pitching. I think Lorne wasn’t happy with me embellishing a bit, but they allowed me to. I thought that was a safe space to do that, weirdly
 but I also have never been invited back on. So I don’t know what to tell you.” 

So, is Brody banned from SNL?

Well, that answer sits somewhere between “not officially” and “probably”. Given that SNL has always been keen to lay down the law, it would be a surprise if Lorne Michaels invited the actor back.

There have been many conversations in recent years about performers who use offensive jokes and exploit sensitive subjects for comedy, and hopefully, Brody learned from this incident and wouldn’t be in a rush to repeat the many controversies that littered his career in 2003. Some are describing his performance in The Brutalist as a career-making role, and perhaps after all these years, the actor maye be afforded a surprise be invited to redeem his reputation with the show.

That said, it seems as though Brody doesn’t have high hopes for this reunion, but after years of similar mishaps on the show, perhaps he will be offered a chance at redemption in light of his comeback as a leading man.
