21 Of The Most Wild, Unbelievable, And Occasionally Controversial Things That Ever Happened On “SNL”

While Wayne and Garth are listing the top ten things they like about Bill Clinton, you might notice in the clip on SNL’s official YouTube page that it skips from #3 straight to #1. That would be, because #2 is about Chelsea. According to Cracked, Wayne says, “adolescence has been thus far unkind” to then-12-year-old Chelsea, then goes on to note that he thinks she’s “going to be a future fox.”

Hillary Clinton commented on the joke in a Redbook interview, saying, “I think it’s sad that people don’t have anything better to do than be mean to a child… I’m going to do everything I can to help Chelsea be strong enough not to let what other people say about her affect her.” Bill Clinton added on in a People interview, saying he didn’t mind jokes about him on the show, “…but I think you gotta be pretty insensitive to make fun of an adolescent child.”

Mike Meyers reportedly wrote a personal letter apologizing to Chelsea and her parents, and Lorne Michaels himself issued a public apology.
