The twenty-first season of Saturday Night Live, an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on NBC between September 30, 1995, and May 18, 1996. After the low ratings and negative reviews of the previous season, NBC executives necessitated significant changes for the show, including a major cast overhaul.
- Overview
- Cast
Season 21 of Saturday Night Live began on September 30, 1995 with host Mariel Hemingway and musical guest Blues Traveler and ended on May 18, 1996 with host Jim Carrey and musical guest Everclear. Most of the cast were new hires, with mass firings having followed the previous season. This season did not include any featured players until March 16, 1996, and like earlier seasons, the featured players were only credited for episodes in which they appeared. David Spade is also missing from three episodes in the middle of the season.
Most of the cast had left or been fired from the previous season: only five cast members returned to the show: Norm MacDonald, Mark McKinney, Tim Meadows, Molly Shannon and David Spade. Although Spade returned to the show, he had more of a diminished role, very rarely appearing in sketches except for Spade in America, a "Weekend Update" segment hosted by Spade that debuted at the start of the season and was featured in all but five episodes. Shannon was upgraded to repertory status for this season.
Aside from Macdonald, McKinney, Meadows, Shannon, and Spade, the rest of the cast hired prior to the start of the season was entirely new. These included: stand-up comedians Jim Breuer and Darrell Hammond; Groundlings alumni Will Ferrell and Cheri Oteri, and Chicago-based comedians Nancy Walls and David Koechner. Breuer, Hammond, Ferrell, Oteri, Koechner, and Walls were all promoted to repertory status upon being hired.
Ferrell and Oteri's fellow Groundling Chris Kattan, along with newly writer Colin Quinn, also joined the cast as featured players for the six final episodes of the season. Fred Wolf was hired in April as a featured player
