WILL SMITH TO NOT ATTEND SNL

Saturday Night Live is all about comedians, and the members of the show are
extremely miffed with what Will Smith did to one of their contemporaries. It is
revealed that not only they have banned the actor from hosting the show in the
future, but he will also not be allowed to watch it as an audience in the
stadium.

“Smith will never ever be invited back to SNL after what he did to Chris. The
show is a temple comedian, and no one wants him around anymore. Forget hosting.
Will won’t even be able to get a ticket to sit in the audience anymore,” sources
close to SNL said, as quoted by RadarOnline.com

Further, the credible source revealed that Smith had lost the support of all
A-list actors who hosted the show. Saturday Night Live would not be able to

Notably, Will Smith has not physically been part of the legendary comic show.
However, he has been impersonated by a number of other artists on the stage time
and again. Tim Meadows was the first one to mimic him while doing a sketch named
VH1 Spirituality Awards on November 14, 1998. Over the years, artists like Jay
Pharoah, Chris Redd, and others imitated him during the show.
