List of episodes

The tenth season of Saturday Night Live, an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on NBC between October 6, 1984, and April 13, 1985. This was the only season to feature renowned comedians Billy Crystal, Martin Short, and Christopher Guest as cast members, and became known as the "All-Star" cast season.[1] Only 17 episodes were produced due to a writers' strike and budget constraints.[2] This was the final season of the Ebersol-run era.
