List of episodes

The thirty-second season of Saturday Night Live, an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on NBC between September 30, 2006, and May 19, 2007.

History

As in the previous season, The Lonely Island created another popular SNL Digital Short that aired around Christmas time; this time, it was the risqué, R&B video spoof "Dick in a Box" (featuring host Justin Timberlake). The short won a Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Music and Lyrics.[1][2]

Cast

Before the start of the season, the show suffered massive budget cuts. Finesse Mitchell, Chris Parnell and Horatio Sanz were all fired from the show. This was the second time Parnell had been fired from the show due to budget cuts, the first being after the 2000–01 season ended. In addition, Rachel Dratch and Tina Fey left the show on their own terms to begin to work on 30 Rock.[3]

Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Jason Sudeikis, and Kristen Wiig were all promoted to repertory status. Due to budget cuts, this was the first time since the 1997–98 season that the show did not have any featured players or hire any new cast members (budget cuts also explains why the previous season had only 19 episodes instead of the usual 20).[3] These changes also resulted in the smallest cast in recent memory, just 11 people.[4]

With Fey's departure, Seth Meyers became Amy Poehler's co-anchor on Weekend Update.[5] Don Roy King was hired as director, replacing Beth McCarthy-Miller.[3]

A new logo was introduced this season. It is based on the logo seen during Dick Ebersol's tenure as showrunner between 1981 and 1985, but with a modern typeface. This logo would remain in use until the show's fortieth season.
