It also says he is left handed. All you have to do is watch him write a cryptic note or draw a goofy picture in one of his movies to know that one is not true! Wanna hear me sing?  www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

So when DID he actually drop the F-bomb? Or is that site a lie? from wikipedia: Rocket was cast for the 1980–81 season, which followed the departure of the remaining members of the show's popular original cast and original executive producer Lorne Michaels. Singled out by new executive producer Jean Doumanian as the star of her new ensemble, Rocket was promoted as "kind of a cross between Bill Murray and Chevy Chase." Rocket was given the role of anchor for the show's Weekend Update news parody, and was featured in many sketches. His opening line before beginning Weekend Update was, "Good evening, I'm Charles Rocket. Here now the news." His closing line was, "I'm Charles Rocket. Good night and watch out."
The new cast (except for Joe Piscopo and later Eddie Murphy) was not at all popular with audiences, a reflection, perhaps, of the overall poor quality of the writing. Though not very successful as the Update anchor, Rocket was somewhat of a standout due to his infamous "Rocket Reports" segments. (Viewers have noted, however, that his style on Weekend Update was evidently later adopted by Dennis Miller.) Rocket would eventually doom both his and Doumanian's tenures on the show with one word. The February 21, 1981 episode hosted by Dallas star Charlene Tilton featured a parody of the famed Who Shot J.R.? episode of Dallas. In the sketch, Rocket was shot in the chest by a sniper. At the end of the show when cast members traditionally gather around the host to say good night, Tilton asked Rocket how he felt about being shot. A wheelchair-bound Rocket audibly mumbled that he'd like to know "who the fuck did it", followed by the cast and audience reacting with shock and a small amount of embarrassed laughter. The incident seemed to encapsulate all that was wrong with Saturday Night Live at the time, and both Rocket and Doumanian were soon fired (along with most of the writers and fellow cast members Gilbert Gottfried and Ann Risley). Piscopo and Murphy were the only cast members to survive the axe, and new producer Dick Ebersol replaced the other remaining cast members, Denny Dillon and Gail Matthius, after only producing one episode. | |

thedoorkeeper said: I've heard the Charlie Rocket story many times but I've never heard a Prince/swearing connection. What is your source for this being factual? seems to be based on the fact that partyup had the F-word in it on the album... and some assumed that prince sang it on the show. which is not true. and prince sang just before the closing wave thing, which is when he said it. i have/had it on video from when it was first aired. | |

What is your source for this being factual? i recall it being discussed on one of those countdown shows on E! or VH-1 a couple years back, and i remember some discussion about it online when charles rocket died not too long ago. you might also check out the book "live from new york" which is a detailed chronology of SNL. | |
