Saturday Night Live (Season 14)

Saturday Night Live (Season 14)

"Saturday Night Live" aired its fourteenth season during the 1988 - 1989 television season on NBC. With the exception of Mike Myers and Ben Stiller being hired as featured players, there were no major cast changes. There were, however, many memorable sketches featured this season, such as "Wayne's World" (with Dana Carvey as Garth and Mike Myers as Wayne) and the controversial "Nude Beach" sketch where the word "penis" is said 17 times (and sung 26 times).

This season also saw the tragic death of another SNL castmember from the 1970s: Gilda Radner (who was scheduled to come back and host in season 13, but plans for the episode where cancelled due to the Writers' Guild strike of 1988), who passed away on the day of the season finale from ovarian cancer. In memory of Radner, Steve Martin (the host of the season finale) showed a clip from the famous "Dancing in the Dark" sketch from the 1978 episode hosted by Martin himself (with The Blues Brothers as musical guests) as part of his monologue.

The season began on October 8, 1988, and ended on May 20, 1989.
