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.
Very few changes were made before and during the season. Mike Myers was upgraded to repertory status mid-season. This was the final season for Dunn and Jon Lovitz.
This season saw the first hosting gigs of three celebrities who would go on to be frequent SNL hosts: John Goodman, who auditioned to be a cast member on SNL during the 1980–81 season and frequently appeared on SNL in the mid-1990s as Linda Tripp; Christopher Walken, whose sketch "The Continental" had been a staple in six of the seven episodes hosted by Walken; and Alec Baldwin (who surpassed Steve Martin as the most frequent SNL host).
A live special commemorating the fifteen seasons of SNL was aired September 24, 1989, before the start of the season.
