Everything You NEED to Know About SNL Season 18 (1992-93)

I was at SNL when Nirvana played in 1992. My friend Dave was an intern there, who later played Officer Doofy in Scary Movie. He got us in and we hung out in the Green Room. Nirvana was there hanging out and they were very nice but seemed kind of freaked out from all the attention. I went to the bathroom backstage and walked past Dane Carvey and Victoria Jackson. Very memorable night.

He was the redneck in Ghost World...he only had two scenes and was a minor character, but was so memorable they reissued a new movie poster with him added to the old one.

[@ericecho5118]

I remember the Sinead incident when I was a kid - no one was ready to hear about the true level of sex scandal and literal child sexual abuse happening in the Catholic church, back then. They were all just in that zone of "don't you dare say anything the catholic leaders has ever done wrong"

[@TiagoAugustoSouzaBarreiro]

[@ericrosenburg657]

RIP Sinead, and Jan. Jan you were so funny. And considering the climate now, very edgy. Sinead was years ahead of the wave of abuse allegations making it to the public. What she did was beyond brave, it was borderline career ending, and life defining. They should have preserved it, and not mocked that moment. (Although Madonna’s was good) No one tried to understand what she was talking about. Everyone thought it was a feminist thing. Bless her, and I hope she is happy with her boy. The Catholic Church may not like her, but I assure you, God does.

The most scandalous part about this season was how the writers, actors and guests kept ridiculing Sinead after the episode. And the rest of the world. She spoke the truth - and no one wanted to hear it. She was one of the bravest people who ever lived.

[@drmusic3641]

Sinead O'Conner would appear to boos the two weeks later at the Bob Dylan tribute concert. This was the concert where Kris Kristofferson would show his support for her but she instead chose to say to him "I dont need a man to support me!" then proceed to sing the same song she had done on SNL instead of performing a rendition of Dylan's "I Believe In You" which further angered the crowd. Her father who was there that night said to her afterwards, "You just ruined your career tonight". She suffered from many mental health issues during the ensuing years and it's sad knowing what she went through.

[@JimmyJazz332]

And this whole time, she was right about the Catholic Church's involvement and cover ups in mass child abuse and molestation.

[@RyanCMcD]

She did not choose to say 'I don't need a man to support me'. He told her not to 'let them get her down', and she defiantly replied 'I'm not down'. She wrote in her book that she was THINKING it, but she didn't actually say it, and FYI, Sinead and Kris were friends right up until her death. Always good to do a little research before popping off about things.

[@jasonmccrank4981]

As much as I love Farley, it's absurd that this era is called the "Bad Boys" era. The show was the very definition of safe and mainstream. A far cry from the original "Not Ready for Prime Time Players." The Sinead moment and fallout typifies that.

[@aranbuzzas8000]

It was misogynistic in the extreme in that era.

Paul McCartney was really on a high point that year. His "OFF THE GROUND" CD was the last album he did that I really loved when it came out. I remember videotaping his segments of the SNL episode, and I also taped a live concert he did that year as well, where he split the show equally between Beatles songs, Wings songs, and NEW songs. Way to go!

SNL is not improv. Lorne paid her to follow the show's script. In the U.S., Sinéad can legally tear up any photo. And Lorne is free to produce his show to his standards. Her action was undoubtedly sincere and clearly unprofessional. So random, it felt like a failed skit. I didn't remember it until it was remembered as memorable.
