List of episodes |
The fourteenth season of Saturday Night Live, an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on NBC between October 8, 1988 and May 20, 1989.
A new show logo was used starting with this season. It was made up of the words SATURDAY + NIGHT + LIVE styled in a circle.[1] It was used until the end of the show's 20th season in 1995.
This season notably saw the death of a second original cast member, Gilda Radner, who died on the day of the season finale from ovarian cancer. In memory of Radner, Steve Martin showed a clip from the "Dancing in the Dark" sketch from the 1978 episode hosted by Martin in lieu of his planned monologue.[2]
This season introduced the "Wayne's World" skits.
Cast
Mike Myers made his debut as a cast member midseason.[3] The first Wayne's World sketch aired on February 18, 1989.[4] Ben Stiller had a very brief stint as a featured player. His short film The Hustler of Money had impressed producers and was aired in season 12.[5] Stiller ended up leaving after only four episodes because he wanted to focus more on making short films, as opposed to performing solely sketch comedy.[5]
