History

[edit]

When the 1986-1987 season began, only Jon Lovitz, Nora Dunn, Dennis Miller, and featured player A. Whitney Brown returned as cast members. Michaels went back to his original tactic of assembling a strong ensemble of relative unknowns, led byDana Carvey,Phil Hartman,Jan Hooks,Victoria Jackson, andKevin Nealon.^[1]

The first show of the 1986–1987 season opened withMadonna, host of the previous season opener, telling the audience that the entire 1985–1986 season had been a "horrible, horrible dream".^[2] Carvey'sChurch Lady character debuted in this episode.^[3]

Hartman's send-up of PresidentRonald Reagan kickstarted the most fruitful and successful period of political parody onSNL. Carvey's widely remembered impression of then Vice PresidentGeorge H. W. Bush debuted in the following season.^[4]^[5]

Other popular sketches introduced this season includeMr. Subliminal,^[6] theSweeney Sisters,^[7] andDerek Stevens.^[8]
