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 - It's too soon! Chris Rock might push the boundaries too far when he made jokes about 2013 Boston marathon bombings during his "SNL" monologue back in 2014. "Tomorrow's the New York City marathon. What could go wrong there, right?" the comedian asked, though he assured that things would be fine "just like Boston's fine after the marathon."
As if that wasn't enough, he then touched on 9/11 World Trade Center tragedy. "Who's the corporate sponsor, Target?" he joked, before saying that he would never go in Freedom Tower even if "Scarlett Johansson is butt naked on the 89th floor." Although he insisted that he wasn't joking about the tragedy itself, fans didn't buy his words. "No Chris Rock, neither Boston Marathon nor 9/11 jokes never have and never will be funny. Just stop, now," one viewer reacted on Twitter.
