Kat Williams has a bone to pick with Saturday Night Live. During a recent appearance at Vulture Festival, the controversial comedian slammed the sketch series for several reasons.

First, Williams alleged that “there has never been a person that has been parodied nine times on Saturday Night Live and yet never been invited other than me.”
Williams claimed that he takes the apparent snub “as a badge of honor that they don’t f**k with me.”
Williams’ real problem with the series is that they recently tapped a woman, SNL cast member Ego Nwodim, to portray him in a sketch about his viral interview with Shannon Sharpe.
“A lot of times when people are doing an impression of you, they’re really showing you how they feel about you. You know what I mean?” he questioned. “So, for Saturday Night Live to have an impression of me and have a woman do that, means they think I’m a b**ch. And I understand that that’s what they’re saying when they do that.”
Despite purporting that SNL considers him “a b**ch,” Williams said the situation “doesn’t bother me at all.”
“I understand how the game goes and I understand that if you love me you know why you do. And if you don’t f**k with me, I understand why,” he said. “My job is to be worthy.”
While Nwodim played Williams most recently, men have done so in the past. In fact, Jay Pharoah, Drake, and Chris Redd all previously portrayed Williams on SNL.
