Saturday Night Live aired its 12th Season during the 1986 - 1987 television season on NBC. The 12th Season started on October 11, 1986 with host Sigourney Weaver, the 11th anniversary of the show's first episode, and ended on May 23, 1987, with host Dennis Hopper and musical guest Roy Orbison.
The season opened with Madonna, host of the previous season opener, reading a "statement" from NBC about season 11's mediocre writing and bad cast choices. According to the "statement", the entire 1985–86 season was "... all a dream. A horrible, horrible dream."
The season included "Mastermind", a skit written by Jim Downey and Al Franken, in which Phil Hartman portrayed two sides of Ronald Reagan; 25 years later Todd Purdum called the skit "surely among the show's Top 10 of all time".
A new logo was introduced for this season: it consisted of a yellow square and a small black rectangle; the yellow square had "SATURDAY" and "LIVE" in it; between them was a black rectangle with the word "NIGHT" in it. It was used only until the following season.
Also, during this season, singer David Johansen made several guest appearances as his famous persona, Buster Poindexter joined the Saturday Night Live Band for part of the season.
Most of Season 11's cast members were fired, except for A. Whitney Brown, Nora Dunn, Jon Lovitz and Dennis Miller. Al Franken was rehired as a writer. Al Franken also appeared in several episodes but was not credited as a cast member this season. The new cast members included Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Jan Hooks, Victoria Jackson and Kevin Nealon (Nealon was brought on as a featured player). Phil Hartman helped write sketches in Season 11's Thanksgiving episode hosted by Pee-wee Herman, and appeared in a sketch as a Pilgrim. Jan Hooks had auditioned for the show twice, firstly for Season 10, but lost to Pamela Stephenson and the second time for Season 11, but lost to Joan Cusack.
