The nineteenth season of Saturday Night Live, an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on NBC between September 25, 1993, and May 14, 1994.

[3] Stand-up comics Norm Macdonald,[4] Jay Mohr[5] and Sarah Silverman[6] were hired as writers and would debut as featured players, a few episodes into the season.

This would be the final season for longtime cast members Phil Hartman,[8][9] Rob Schneider, Julia Sweeney[10] and Melanie Hutsell.

Several veteran writers, among them Robert Smigel,[15] Jack Handey, and Bonnie and Terry Turner, left the staff prior to the season.

Based on the popular "Wayne's World" sketches, the film stars cast members Dana Carvey, Chris Farley, Tim Meadows, Mike Myers and Harry Shearer.

It received generally positive reviews from critics, with Roger Ebert calling the characters of Wayne and Garth "impossible to dislike".
