Adrien Brody says he wasn't banned from SNL after notorious Jamaican accent bit

Adrien Brody says he's not banned from 'Saturday Night Live' after notorious 2003 bit where he used an exaggerated Jamaican accent that didn't go over well. But adds, he has not been invited back.

In an infamous moment from the May 10, 2003, episode hosted by Brody, the actor wore a wig of dreadlocks and spoke in an exaggerated Jamaican accent as he introduced the night's musical guest, Sean Paul. The Brutalist star, who won Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama, at Sunday's Golden Globes ceremony, told Vulture in a new interview that he was never issued a formal ban. However, Entertainment Weekly confirmed that there was no official ban in place for the Pulp Fiction star, who then explained on a May 2022 episode of EW's The Awardist podcast that Michaels himself had also dispelled the notion that he could never return to the series.
