Season 4

Aired on CBC (Canada), NBC (U.S.)

Only two months after season 3 ends, season 4 starts. Tony Rosato and Robin Duke both leave the show to be cast members on Saturday Night Live, which was infamously doing poorly with critics and in the ratings at that time, so much so that NBC actually started airing SCTV (named SCTV Network 90) as a possible replacement for SNL. John Candy and Catherine O'Hara rejoin the cast, and Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin return to doing the show full-time.

The cast now consists of John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Rick Moranis, Catherine O'Hara, and Dave Thomas. Many of the early season 4 episodes contain rerun sketches from seasons one to three. Former cast members Harold Ramis, Tony Rosato and Robin Duke can sometimes be seen in these sketches, but are uncredited.

For the final three episodes of the season, Martin Short (who first appeared on the "Cisco Kid" episode in season three) is added to the cast.
