Fred Armisen
Fred Armisen was in hot water in the early 2010s when he impersonated then-New York governor David Paterson, who is legally blind. Armisen’s impression had him wandering into and out of camera, causing many to feel like the show was mocking those who are visually impaired. Paterson himself later appeared on the show alongside Armisen.

Pete Davidson
On November 3rd, 2018 SNL cast member Pete Davidson said on Weekend Update First Impressions that Lieutenant Commander Dan Crenshaw looks like a “hitman in a porno movie.” The following week, Crenshaw appeared on the show and Davidson apologized. However, shortly after, Davidson rescinded the apology, implying that he was forced to apologize.
