Saturday Night Live Season 15 COMPLETE DVDRip XviD

Saturday Night Live aired its fifteenth season during the 1989 - 1990 television season on NBC. The fifteenth season started off with a 15th anniversary special on September 24, 1989 and ended on May 19, 1990. 21 episodes were produced, including the anniversary special.

Two cast changes were made this season. Ben Stiller, after having been on the show for just the last five episodes of Season 14, left due to creative differences with Lorne Michaels. Mike Myers was upgraded to repertory status.

This season saw the first hosting gigs of three celebrities who would go on to be frequent (and favorite) SNL hosts: John Goodman (who auditioned to be a castmember on SNL during the critically abysmal 1980-1981 season and frequently cameoed on SNL in the mid-1990s as Linda Tripp), Christopher Walken (whose singing and dancing monologues and recurring sketch "The Continental" have been a staple in six of the seven episodes hosted by Walken), and Alec Baldwin (who went on to break John Goodman's hosting record in 2006 and, as of October 2011, surpassed Steve Martin as the most frequent SNL host).

This season is also notorious for an in-cast spat towards the end of the season. Nora Dunn staged a boycott over the host of the episode, controversial comedian Andrew Dice Clay. Dunn refused to appear in the episode because of Clay's profane jokes about women. The original musical guest for the episode, Sinéad O'Connor, joined Dunn in her boycott and canceled her scheduled appearance. O'Connor was replaced by Julee Cruise and The Spanic Boys.

Along with Dunn, this would also be the final season for Jon Lovitz, who left for a movie career after being denied time off from the next season to film a movie. With the cast slowly dwindling, Michaels decided to add some new performers for the following season.
