I remember watching the SNL that Martin Lawrence hosted in its first run on NBC. I remember that he told a few raunchy jokes in the opening monologue. I don't remember exactly what it was that he said but I think that it was the monologue that got him banned.

I remember this. He told some raunchy jokes in the opening monologue. They had to do with women's hygiene.

It was unfortunate because he was funny in some of the skits.

Now when they show that skit on SNL...They tease the monologue and then right before the nasty spot they run a disclaimer over it and then show the ending. You can hear what he was saying in the opening by listening to one of his comedy records, it rips off a bit from Redd Foxx about washing your a**. The album is called Martin Lawrence: Talkin' Sh*!.
