Saturday Night Live — Season 15
Saturday Night Live’s fifteenth season arrived on NBC during the 1989-1990 television year, kicking off with a celebratory 15th-anniversary special on September 24, 1989, and wrapping up May 19, 1990. A total of 21 episodes – including that milestone anniversary show – made up the season's run. The lineup saw a slight shift before curtain up; Ben Stiller departed after just five appearances, parting ways with Lorne Michaels due to creative differences. On the other hand, Mike Myers solidified his place on the cast as a repertory player. Season fifteen also marked the debut hosting appearances of three future SNL staples: John Goodman, Christopher Walken, and Alec Baldwin – hinting at their recurring roles to come. However, the season isn't remembered without controversy. A significant in-cast dispute arose late in the run when Nora Dunn boycotted an episode featuring comedian Andrew Dice Clay, protesting his frequently offensive jokes about women. In a remarkable show of solidarity, musical guest Sinéad O’Connor joined Dunn’s boycott, ultimately leading to her replacement by Julee Cruise and The Spanic Boys.
