List of episodes

The fifteenth season of Saturday Night Live, an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on NBC between September 30, 1989 and May 19, 1990.[1]

This season saw the first appearances of three frequent SNL hosts: John Goodman,[2] who auditioned to be a cast member on SNL during the 1980–81 season[3] and frequently appeared on SNL in the mid-1990s as Linda Tripp; Christopher Walken,[4] whose sketch "The Continental" had been a staple in six of the seven episodes hosted by Walken; and Alec Baldwin[5] (who later surpassed Steve Martin as the most frequent SNL host).[6]

A live special commemorating fifteen seasons of SNL was aired on September 24, 1989, before the start of the season.[7]

Special

TitleOriginal air date
"15th Anniversary Special"September 24, 1989 (1989-09-24)
A special celebrating the 15th anniversary of the show. A long list of cast members, guest hosts, and other special people honor the show's anniversary. Chevy Chase and Garrett Morris appear in the cold open, debating about whether or not Chase is too old to open the show with a pratfall (as he had routinely done when he had been a cast member). Tom Hanks performed the opening monologue, which pokes fun at the cliches of SNL opening monologues in general. Prince[12] and Paul Simon perform. Vintage musical clips include performances from David Bowie and Elvis Costello.[12] John Belushi and Gilda Radner receive tributes in the special. Among the guest hosts was Robin Williams, Mary Tyler Moore and O. J. Simpson. This was the final appearance of Buck Henry on SNL, who was the most frequent host during the original 70s run of the show.
