  • The iconic NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live has aired new episodes every year since 1975. In 2021, an SNL episode from 2010 was the subject of an online advertisement that claimed Katy Perry had been banned for life from the show. It appeared on a number of local news websites that displayed ads from the Outbrain advertising network. The picture in the ad showed the singer and songwriter wearing a top that featured Elmo from Sesame Street. In some cases, the sponsored ad was mixed in with headlines for real news stories. Readers who clicked the ad were met with a lengthy slideshow article from the website Definition.org. Instead of something similar to the ad such as This Is Why Katy Perry Was Banned from 'SNL,' the headline was a broader story than originally teased: SNL Controversies Through the Years. Perry did not appear until the last page of the slideshow story: Page 32. However, the article mentioned nothing about Perry being banned for life from SNL. Further, we found zero news articles that published anything of the sort. The picture of Perry was from the 2010 sketch Bronx Beat: Maureen Diccico. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCSejBIlXVA&t=187s The episode followed news that Sesame Street had pulled a duet video featuring Perry and Elmo after it drew complaints from parents due to the pop star's controversial attire. In sum, there is no indication that Katy Perry was banned for life from SNL. The ad in question appeared to be clickbait that led readers to well over 30 pages that probably could have just been one page. (en)
