Top Controversies On SNL Throughout The Years

Matthew Broderick, Dana Carvey, Kevin Nealon, Dennis Miller, and Jon Lovitz

In a 1988 episode, host Matthew Broderick appeared in a sketch with Dana Carvey, Kevin Nealon, Dennis Miller, and Jon Lovitz. In the sketch, they were at a nude beach, which led them to utter the word “penis” over 40 times throughout the sketch. Writer William Clotworthy said: “We knew we’d hear from the public, and did we! The sketch generated 46 thousand letters of complaint. 45,999 were form letters sent to Reverend Donald Wildmon and his American Family Association.”
