Season 20 of SNL was supposed to be a triumph — Sandler breaking out, Farley a household name, Spade's one-liners everywhere. Instead, it became one of the most chaotic, controversial seasons in the show's 50-year history. Phil Hartman was gone. Janeane Garofalo was miserable and quit mid-season. Chris Elliott couldn't find his footing. Mike Myers walked out in January. And behind closed doors, NBC executive Don Ohlmeyer was pushing Lorne Michaels toward a decision nobody wanted to make.

By the time the May 13th season finale aired, nine cast members were either fired or walking out the door — including two of the most bankable names in American comedy.

This is the story of how Saturday Night Live nearly destroyed itself, and what it took to come back.
