List of episodes

The eighteenth season of Saturday Night Live, an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on NBC between September 26, 1992, and May 15, 1993.

Cast

Many changes happened before the start of the season. Long-term cast member Victoria Jackson left the show after six seasons.[1] Newer cast members Beth Cahill and Siobhan Fallon were both fired.[1] Lorne Michaels did not hire any new cast members. Rob Schneider was upgraded to repertory status.[1] Ellen Cleghorne, Tim Meadows, Adam Sandler and David Spade remained in the middle category. Melanie Hutsell was promoted to the middle category and Robert Smigel stayed a featured player.

Long-term cast member Dana Carvey would leave midseason; he originally planned to leave in the fall of 1992, but he ended up staying until the February 6, 1993 episode.[2][1][3] This would also be the final season for cast members Chris Rock and Robert Smigel.

After three years with the show, Rock quit at the end of the season, joining the much more diverse sketch comedy show In Living Color.[4][5][6] Of his time on SNL, Rock had been frustrated with his lack of creative freedom and air time.[7] In the oral history Live from New York, Rock said, "The good thing about me being on In Living Color, I got things on that had nothing to do with race. On SNL, I either had to play a militant or a hip-hop guy. If you watch my stand-up, race is ten minutes of an hour-long show. I talk about relationships, whatever. And Living Color allowed me to talk about other shit. I could do sketches about, you know, funny stores I was in."[8] Writer and featured player Smigel left to become the head writer for Late Night with Conan O'Brien.[9]

This season was also home to one of SNL's most infamous moments: Sinéad O'Connor tore a photograph of Pope John Paul II at the end of her second singing performance.[10][11]

Cast roster

bold denotes Weekend Update anchor

All of the middle tier cast members were credited in every single episode of the season, while those in the third category are only credited in certain episodes. Robert Smigel is featured in the opening credits of six episodes, while Al Franken is featured in the opening for four episodes. Don Novello is credited as "Father Guido Sarducci" in the third cast member category for the Bill Murray episode in which he guest stars but isn't considered a featured player because this was a one-off guest appearance.

Writers

Main article: List of Saturday Night Live writers § season 18

David Mandel (a future writer/producer of Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Veep) and Ian Maxtone-Graham (a future writer for The Simpsons) join the writing staff this season.[12]

Starting with the John Goodman-hosted episode, original-era writer Marilyn Suzanne Miller (who previously wrote for the first three seasons from 1975 to 1978; and again for the 1981-82 season) returns as a writer.

This season is more notable for being the final season for several longtime/veteran writers including Robert Smigel (who had been a writer for eight years since 1985), Jack Handey (who had been a writer for seven accumulative years since 1985, with the exception of season 12), Bonnie and Terry Turner, and Christine Zander (the later three of whom, had been writers for 6½ years since 1987).[13] (Although Smigel and Handey would return to the show in later seasons).

Then-head writer Jim Downey would blame the declining quality of the following seasons on all of the veteran writers departing.[14]

3271Nicolas CageBobby BrownSeptember 26, 1992 (1992-09-26)

  • Bobby Brown performs "Humpin' Around" and "Good Enough".[15][16] Bobby Brown also appeared in the "Queen Shenequa Show" sketch.
  • Jan Hooks appears in the cold open and the "Nightline" sketch.
  • Cher appears during "Weekend Update".
  • One of the final sketches of the night is a satire of the famous Murphy Brown episode that aired that week responding to Dan Quayle's comments. Lorne Michaels does a cold open to the camera explaining that Dan Quayle had, during their summer hiatus, criticized the Rob Schneider running character "Mr. Casual Sex", and they would now like to respond – the joke being that this character had never existed until that moment, though he has an introductory theme song. This is followed by a sketch of Mr. Casual Sex being criticized for his morality, followed by endless pedantic jokes about the spelling of potato, and culminating in Mr. Casual Sex being joined by an array of men who like casual sex to proudly stand up to Dan Quayle (a la the ending of the Murphy Brown episode).
3282Tim RobbinsSinéad O'ConnorOctober 3, 1992 (1992-10-03)

  • Credited Third Category Featured Players: Al Franken, Robert Smigel
  • Sinéad O'Connor performs "Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home" and the Bob Marley song "War".[15][17]
  • After four minutes of a capella during Sinéad O'Connor's second song, "War", she exclaims "child abuse" several times and then holds up a picture of Pope John Paul II, and says, "Fight the real enemy," tearing the picture to pieces. During the earlier rehearsal taping, Sinéad O'Connor held up a picture of a starving African child before leaving the stage. Director Dave Wilson gave the order to not light up the audience applause light following "War," as he felt she had "railroaded" the crew and producers.[18] The segment, which aired nearly a decade before the world became fully aware of the prolific sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church, marked one of only a few times that a sketch or performance ended with a quiet studio.[10] NBC received 4,484 complaints about O'Connor, and 725 calls supporting her.[19]
