Saw him on Fallon last night (which I usually don't watch). Apparently he can dance.

Missed the opening... have to catch the rerun at 11:30 here... dang...

...cast regular Charles Rocket did the same in the early '80s. Needless to say, his time on the show came to a quick end. He later committed suicide.

It's too bad. Sam Rockwell brought his A game (along with his F'n A game).

it will cause much of a stir. Not like when Charles Rocket was fired in 81 after dropping the f-bomb.

...with probably a heavier fine than CBS and its affiliates got for Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" -- just becaue it's SNL.

First the CBS fine was overturned by a court. Second the FEC standards only apply for broadcasts between 6 am and 10 pm. SNL broadcasts later than that.

I expect they’ll pay their fine and he’ll be OK, maybe even lauded by some.

Seriously, who cares about someone saying “fuck” anymore? Think about it, very few people in their market share give a damn. I know I don’t.

I admit pop culture is not really my thing. Like the singer last night, never heard of her neither

Rockwell isn't the only one to drop the F-bomb on "Saturday Night Live."

Guest host Kristen Stewart said the expletive last year.

In 2012, guest host Samuel L. Jackson said both "f---" and "bull----."

And in 2009, cast member Jenny Slate said the F-word during a sketch. It was her first season with the show. She was fired after the conclusion of the season.
