To understand Season 16, one must first appreciate the wreckage it followed. Season 15 (1989–1990), known as “The 15th Anniversary Season,” was a creative and ratings disaster. The show had lost its connective tissue. The departure of Nora Dunn (in protest over Andrew Dice Clay) and the firing of the brilliant but erratic Robert Downey Jr. left a cast helmed by a burnt-out Dennis Miller and a visibly frustrated Phil Hartman. Enter Lorne Michaels, who had returned as executive producer in 1985 after a five-year hiatus. By 1990, his mandate was clear: stop the bleeding. Saturday Night Live - SNL - Complete Seasons
