While it's an honor to be hosting the hit NBC comedy show, some celebrity hosts' jokes in their opening monologue unfortunately became an insult to the others.

AceShowbiz - Larry David was tapped to host a November 2017 episode of "SNL" and his monologue was met with criticism. The "Curb Your Enthusiasm" actor/creator joked about the mounting sexual harassment allegations in Hollywood, adding, "I couldn't help but notice a very disturbing pattern emerging, which is that many of the predators are Jews. I don't like it when Jews are in the news for notorious reasons."
"I know I consistently strive to be a good Jewish representative. When people see me, I want them to say, 'Oh, there goes a fine Jew,' " he went on to say. Instead of being impressed, most people found his monologue "offensive, insensitive & unfunny all at same time."
