The fourteenth season of Saturday Night Live, an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on NBC between October 8, 1988 and May 20, 1989.
A new show logo was used starting with this season. It was made up of the words SATURDAY + NIGHT + LIVE styled in a circle. It was used until the end of the show's 20th season in 1995.
This season notably saw the death of a second original cast member, Gilda Radner, who died on the day of the season finale from ovarian cancer. In memory of Radner, Steve Martin showed a clip from the "Dancing in the Dark" sketch from the 1978 episode hosted by Martin in lieu of his planned monologue.
This episode was dedicated to Roy Orbison, the musical guest of the 1986-1987 season finale, who died on December6. At the end of the episode, Kline introduces Roy's performance of Crying from that show as a tribute.
Elvis Costello performs "Veronica" and "Let Him Dangle".[1] (This marked Costello's return to SNL following his infamous performance of Radio, Radio 11 years earlier which resulted in Costello being banned from appearing on the show again. As of 2017, Costello is one of three people who have had a ban from SNL lifted.)
In the opening monologue, Steve Martin visibly struggled to hold back tears as he paid tribute to Gilda Radner, who had died of cancer in the afternoon on the day of the broadcast. Martin and Radner's "Dancing in the Dark" sketch, originally shown in episode 64 in 1978, was also offered in tribute. The show's bandleader G.E. Smith, who was also Radner's ex-husband, wore a black armband throughout the live show.
