The fifth season of ''Saturday Night Live'', an American sketch comedy series, originally aired in the United States on NBC between October 13, 1979, and May 24, 1980. John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd left the show at the end of the fourth season, leaving a void in the cast that most fans thought would be the beginning of the end of the late-night sketch show. To keep the show going, Lorne Michaels upgraded many of the show's writers to featured cast member status: Peter Aykroyd (Dan's brother), Jim Downey, Brian Doyle-Murray (Bill's brother), Don Novello, Tom Schiller and Alan Zweibel. Band leader Paul Shaffer also joined the cast, becoming the first person from the ''SNL'' band to become a cast member. Harry Shearer joined the show as a featured cast member and was promoted to repertory status during the season. This season was also the first to have two members of the same family as cast members, (Bill Murray and Brian Doyle-Murray). This would be the final season for everyone in the cast. Tom Davis and Downey would return to the show in future seasons as writers. Al Franken, Doyle-Murray, Novello, and Shearer would rejoin the cast in future seasons (Franken would also return as a writer). ==Cast== ;Repertory cast members *Jane Curtin *Garrett Morris *Bill Murray *Laraine Newman *Gilda Radner *Harry Shearer (upgraded to repertory status: February 9, 1980) ;Featured cast members *Peter Aykroyd (first episode: November 17, 1979) *Tom Davis *Jim Downey (first episode: January 26, 1980) *Brian Doyle-Murray (first episode: December 15, 1979) *Al Franken *Don Novello / Father Guido Sarducci *Tom Schiller (first episode: December 15, 1979) *Paul Shaffer (first episode: November 17, 1979) *Alan Zweibel (first episode: December 15, 1979) 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The SNL Archives: 1979-1980 )〕 bold denotes Weekend Update anchor Featured cast members announced and shown during the "Opening Introductions" varied from week to week, as noted below in each episode's description. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saturday Night Live (season 5)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
