The sad thing is, crazy as it may sound an SNL skit with Steven Seagal in it could work. Seagal's whole thing is being dry, stern-faced, serious and joyless all the time. And you can put that into so many situations that could be genuinely funny. But of course, for that to happen Seagal would need to have a sense of humor and be able to take a joke, which clearly he doesn't and can't.

[@bluedistortions]

If they had given him total control, it would have been glorious watching SNL getting destroyed by one host. That first skit he described.. what the hell. There's no comedy. And I'm assuming he was seeing himself as the rapist therapist. Was that it? "The rapist"? "Therapist?" Omg. That bit was really funny from Sean Connery. Becaue he was mispronouncing a word. But Steven wanted to act it out in an extended skit, which would have just been weird and horrifying.

[@jamesbell1613]

Agreed... Kinda disappointing because it does seem like it could work.

[@Transmission_Rory]

Peter Jason said that Steven Seagal was the worst actor he's ever worked with. They were both in Marked for Death, with Peter playing Steven's boss in the beginning. Steven refused to do a shot/reverse shot, all because the camera wasn't on him. He considered it "wasting a really good take". So he would sit there for the script girl to read Peter Jason's lines for him to react to. Even actors who have worked with him find him difficult to work with.

[@KawikaProductions]

Yeeeeeah. Steven Seagal probably figured that stand-ins were a thing. But had no idea WHY. Like if an actor is sick or unavailable, having a stand in is important. They used stand-ins for BTTF. For the part where Marty punches Biff in the first movie, it is likely re-used footage from the lost Eric Stoltz version of that film.

[@kiwikarp9509]

Damn, I feel really bad for the live audiences that were excited to see this one live.

[@KawikaProductions]

They seemed excited at the beginning of the opening monologue. But once he spoke, the audience knew they were in for a bad time. The only saving grace is that Michael Bolton is the guest star. He was in a “We are the World” parody that did NOT have Steven Seagal. He would later appear on SNL in 2011 when The Lonely Island did “Jack Sparrow”.

Funny irony about that joke about Arnold beating Steven up, according to interviews with actual MMA fighters who have worked with Seagal on films and stunts, Steven couldn't fight his way out of a wood basket. Mainly because the martial art he practices Aikido, has no practical self defense applications in unarmed fighting. One stuntman, I forgot his name, actually once put Steven in a choke hold and caused him to pass out!

[@TMC1982Part2]

Gene LeBell is who you're referring to. And Steven Seagal didn't just pass out allegedly, he released his bowels.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

the stuntman who caused him to pass out was actually a judo master, and aikido is a solid martial art- it’s just not something that you solely rely on since it’s all about physics and timing…he is simply so high on himself that he makes a legitimate self-defense martial art into a joke

"I can get out of any hold, try any move and I will get out of it. " Gene gently puts Steven in headlock, Steven does full force chop to the testicles. Gene, I assume, out of anger and instinct, applies real pressure to Steven at that moment. I love Steven for the wrong reasons.

11:11 Steven has assaulted somebody. He attacked John Leguizamo during rehearsals for Executive Decision because John laughed at the way he introduced himself to the rest of the cast, he came wandering in saying “I am in charge here, my word is law” then grabbed John by the neck and slammed him against a wall. Honestly it seems to be a massive pet peeve for Steven when people laugh at him when he’s trying to be serious and assert dominance. He literally does something similar in the SNL episode, during the sketch he did with Chris Farley he tries walking in looking tough then eyes up the audience in disgust when they laugh at how he entered the room

I heard a rumour that the reason why Seagal did this was because other action movie stars had gone on SNL and he wanted to do it because he didn't want to be seen as inferior to them.

[@AdmiralBison]

Makes sense and to promote his movies.

[@qty1315]

@@AdmiralBison I don't really buy that. The movie he was promoting was already successful, so, he was getting offers from talk shows and stuff. SNL seems like something fun to do to unwind after a promotional campaign, not as part of the hype cycle unless you're promoting a comedy movie, which Seagal wasn't. To me, it makes more sense that he was offered it and he would have turned it down if he didn't think "Oh, wait, Arnold did it, and I'm way better than Arnold, so I'll do it too."

I am a 90s kid steven seagull was always a goofy to me.

Growing up and finding out his history is hilarious to me. He was always ment for meme status

[@crescentfreshbret]

Jean-Claude Van Damme was the store brand version of people like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. Steven Segal was the dollar store version. Sly and Arnold weren’t the greatest actors (especially Arnold- although he improved over time) but they proved that they could succeed in various genres, laugh at themselves, and not just be slabs of muscle with no personality. I mean, hell, Sly came on the scene by writing and starring in a movie that won an Oscar for best picture and best director and a Golden Globe for best picture, and his screenplay was nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA as well. That’s more than ANY action star has accomplished, and that was at the start of his career! Van Damme was a great kickboxer, but he couldn’t act. And Segal was passable at martial arts and had even less acting ability than Van Damme. He should’ve just been a guitarist.

[@evandaymon8303]

Yea watch reviews of his current stuff. He is basically a parody of action heroes and he has done tropes of old action stars such as not getting hit often, sometimes bit hard to understand what they are saying, and my favorite using a body double if you ask why? Well he used body double in scenes you expect but throughout most of his films catalogs he used the double to do things like walking, climbing stairs running and other things he wouldn’t do because his contract required him to work only a hour and that’s it for the day. If they couldn’t get him to agree to do more shoots they use the double

[@carn9507]

@@crescentfreshbret Oh yeah, like you say, Van Damme wasn't ever Arnie or Sly level, but he had his own charm and charisma and can laugh at himself. Seagal just exudes arrogance and ego. He seems to think he's untouchable. Despite being a total creep and weirdo.

I’m not sure if you know this or not but the reason Steven isn’t showing emotion is because he can’t. He’s literally been like this since the very beginning.

I’ve never seen a single Steven Seagal movie where he ever yells or gets angry or actually acts like he gives a shit about the movie he’s STARRING in. He’s the worst action “star” and action “actor” in the history of the film industry that actually made money.

Steven Seagal is the polar opposite to a legendary stuntman like Chuck Norris imo. Sure, he created a new form of jutsu, but he still felt disconnected from reality. Every ego-stroking movie Seagal releases, were treated as ways to conform his actual real-life experiences and have them be events that occurred in his life. At least egosploitation movies such as Tommy Wiseau's The Room, Neil Breen's filmography(Double Down, I Am Now Here, and Fateful Findings), and Turkish Star Wars/The Man Who Saved The World were funny-bad; Steven Seagal is rather pathetic and shouldn't be named as I associate myself in the stuntman community(especially a company heavily tied to a video game developer like Capcom, Just Cause Entertainment), considering the fact he's one of the worst hosts to ever come out of SNL next to Amy fucking Schumer aka the lady who jokes about her vagina a ton and isn't funny.

He’s like the movie version of Hulk Hogan.

[@manigje1]

I'm sorry why didn't they get Swartzenegger or Van Damme

[@KawikaProductions]

SNL had Schwarzenegger cameo twice. 1988 and 1991 with Hanz and Franz. But it's amazing that both men have never hosted before. The episodes would be waaaaaay better than anything that Seagal could muster up.

[@halg3625]

I'm a new subscriber. Your voice sounds so similar to Joel David Moore. I think that's pretty cool. He's a good actor. As far as SNL goes, I can't believe it took them so long to get rid of Steven Segal. He was seriously hurting the rest of the cast. But he wasn't fired until he beat on professional stunt men for 8 minutes? I'm glad he crapped his pants. How can he live with himself? If he just came out and admitted to everything and apologized for it, he wouldn't be the most unfunny joke in history.

[@Unicornelius]

Seagal had never heard of SNL before stepping on the set, or that is what he told various cast and crew members.

[@mrcritical6751]

Didn’t he introduce himself by saying “I’ve never seen your show, I don’t know what you do here”

[@Unicornelius]

@@mrcritical6751 Thank you. I completely forgot about the best part of the story; and an S-Tier Seagal quote, at that.

[@raywallacefan7786]

Malcolm McDowell from Season 6. But not because Malcolm wasn't trying, it was because the writing was so BAD that season!

[@sethleoric2598]

How i wish we lived in a world where Steven Seagal was like some guy's Sacha Baron Cohen style persona where he's a funny real life action star.

[@70baja]

"Out the widow! It's a topsy-turvy world for the Billster!"

[@cb-9938]

I'm very confident in saying the average man could probably beat up Steven Segal

[@denardoellisjr]

Will Sasso should portray him in a biopic 😂😂😂😂😂

[@marvelgeek9577]

True story; While working on a movie together, Steven Seagal pressed John Leguizomo up against a wall for laughing at him. The man takes himself that seriously… SMH

[@LarissaGoldberg]

You’ve got to do the time Charles Grodin hosted

[@jennyn5692]

I've seen some of that, and there's no way he wasn't doing that on purpose.

[@Vulpes_Ailurus]

You know? Between Steven Seagal and Elon Musk, I’m starting to think unfunny people really shouldn’t host this show.

[@Attmay]

Funny people don’t want to do it anymore.

[@gargantuaism]

As horrible as he was , he wasn't any worse than Nancy Kerrigan or Michael Phelps. There are not many things less entertaining than watching athletes with no acting skills and zero comedic ability awkwardly stand there and try and deliver the opening monologue on SNL.

[@Medazzamatt]

you could also say that Michael Bolton as the music guest makes it the worst SNL combo ever

[@RThyrring]

I have only one wish in life: that someone will make Steven Seagal a DLC character in a fighting game, just so I can download him, play the Practice Mode, select him as my “dummy”, and then keep beating him up to no end. I’m serious, cut off both my testicles and give me cancer if I can only get this one wish come true! I would love nothing more that the sensation of feeling his squishy, bloodied, toothless face against my clenched fist, even if it’s just virtual

[@mr.pavone9719]

Steven Segal NEEDS to play Duke Togo from Golgo 13. It's the absolute perfect role for him.

[@greatboredompineappl]

If you’ve ever seen The Menu, the character John Leguizamo plays - a washed up and self-obsessed actor - was based off of Steven Seagal. Leguizamo referred to Seagal as a horrible person and especially unpleasant to work with

[@mrcritical6751]

Seagal assaulted him on set of Executive Decision so can you really blame him?

[@joeberryman3563]

They should have just stuck custard pies in his face.

[@cpssee]

Seagal behaved like f***ing stalin would lmao

[@jamiefrontiera1671]

actually segal has been accused by multiple people of sexual assault

[@TheGrimGary]

Well. Segal is horrible at being a person, so it follows he'd make others miserable.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

I haven't watched SNL since Dubya was in office.

[@murderjunkiezan]

What about the time he was crying/scared of the Cosa Nostra members who told him he had to do movies again, or else? Sammy the Bull talked about that

[@mrcritical6751]

Yeah I believe he also had a loaded gun during that event and was so scared he didn’t use it on the unarmed mobsters

[@TheMellowFilmmaker]

Steven Seagal beating up Exxon Execs might have been funny if he was dressed like Captain Planet or something.

[@jmal]

Knowing his ego, he would demand that Captain Planet dress like Steven Seagal.

[@orionassante3386]

I remember watching this live and the whole show just felt weird and off.

[@floatalongfillyourlungs]

Steely Dan and Phil Collins? Great taste man

[@zjay1356]

Well now I want to watch it and it's not online anywhere

[@NCassette]

Where can I find it????

[@christopherscottcarpenter]

More times than not the guest host is doing so to plug a project or capitalize on the release of something. It's part of the PR playbook to have a star guest host SNL. That's nothing new.

[@squeakyelbows]

I'll be interested to see a video on Miskel Spillman who won a contest to host the show. I haven't seen the episode so I don't know If it was good or bad, but I find it interesting.

[@parkrrosgood6345]

yeah he also didn't use his Karate Training with control on set he use to really hurt his Stunt Men

[@mrcritical6751]

The guy hurt Sean Connery for crying out loud

[@AnimeProfilePicture]

Steven Segal is what happens if a neckbeard actually got famous He's the results of a persons OC coming to life

[@JustinCoasters]

I think the Exxon sketch was based on On Deadly Ground

[@Realpoweronearth]

The guy should have movie star tattooed on his head I didn't realise his films were comedies😮!!!

[@NebLleb]

STEVEN SEAGAL. IS... *SKETCHHOSTER!* [and Cockpuncher, don't forget about him]

[@enmunap]

He acts like a child, it feels like he never grew up but he did, he's a grown ass man but he acts like he didn't realize that himself.

[@charlessedlacek5754]

He also ate all the food from the caterer. The staff went hungry...

[@MewmewGrrl]

Seagal doesn't do self depreciating humor. Even today, as the fat, lazy, mumbling Z list joke that he turned into. Today, if there are stairs in a movie, he sends in his stunt double to walk them, even if it's like 4 or 5 steps. He mumbles his lines so bad and won't do retakes or do-overs, they have Segal impersonators do his lines over in the many places that he mumbled too bad for anybody to understand him. And everything has to be about how great and handsome he is. Of course, they wouldn't have known this back then, he hadn't done enough for them to understand that.

[@Gevaudan94678]

I DIDNT KNOW THERE WAS AN 8-BIT OF THE SONG HUMAN!!!!!!!! 😢😢😢 I LOVE THAT SONG!
