That's actually when they let him back on, he was banned years earlier because he promised not to play his anti record industry song, Radio Radio, but when they went on, he stopped playing the beginning of the "planned" song, and started Radio Radio.

Yeah lol. I think he holds the distinction of being the only person banned TWICE from SNL.

They didn't ban him the second time he played it. They told him to play it, actually. Just a one time ban.
