The long-running NBC late-night show once brought a star who was more of a trainwreck as a host, and seemingly thought it would be a great idea to have a drama-free musician for the episode.

Donald Trump and Sia Furler shared the 30 Rock stage in a November 2015 episode of "Saturday Night Live". It was an odd combination right off the bat, because Trump was someone who's always craving for attention on and off camera, while the "Chandelier" songstress almost never appears on camera with her face shown.
The polar traits as well as the not-so-good image of the then-presidential candidate apparently made the whole backstage situation awkward for the musician. She revealed that she turned Donald Trump down when he and daughter Ivanka Trump asked for an on-set selfie backstage. "Actually, do you mind if we don't? I have a lot of queer and Mexican fans, and I don't want them to think that I support your views," she said, adding that Trump "respected that."
