On October 3, at the end of her second song, a cover of Bob Marley's song "War," musical guest Sinéad O'Connor created controversy by holding up a picture of Pope John Paul II, exclaiming, "Fight the real enemy," and tearing the picture to pieces. According to the book Live From New York, this was unrehearsed. The act was condemned by Michaels and the SNL crew, who refused to light the applause sign after O'Connor's performance; likewise, guest host Tim Robbins, who was raised Catholic, did not thank O'Connor during the closing. Cast Dana Carvey (final episode: February 6, 1993) Chris Farley Phil Hartman Mike Myers Kevin Nealon Chris Rock Rob Schneider Julia Sweeney Featuring Ellen Cleghorne Melanie Hutsell Tim Meadows Adam Sandler David Spade With Al Franken Robert Smigel 1993–1994 season After the end of the 1993–1994 season, having already lost star cast member Dana Carvey, who left midway through the previous season, SNL's 1994 post-season saw more departures. Julia Sweeney left due to frustration and burnout. Another departure was that of Phil Hartman, whose final moment on the show was at the end of a musical number, with the entire cast singing a parody of the "So Long, Farewell" song from The Sound of Music. After all of the cast had left the stage, Farley, appearing as his Matt Foley character, was left sitting on the stage, with Phil walking back on stage, cuddling next to Farley to sing goodbye and waving at the audience. Producer Lorne Michaels hired a number of new cast members, beginning midway through the 1993–1994 season. Cast Ellen Cleghorne Chris Farley Phil Hartman Melanie Hutsell Michael McKean (debut: March 12, 1994) Tim Meadows Mike Myers Kevin Nealon Adam Sandler Rob Schneider David Spade Julia Sweeney Featuring Al Franken Norm Macdonald (debut: October 2, 1993) Jay Mohr (debut: October 9, 1993) Sarah Silverman (debut: October 9, 1993) 1994–1995 season Similar to his decision in the mid-1980s to bring in established actors Randy Quaid, Joan Cusack and Robert Downey, Jr., Michaels added Michael McKean, and later Chris Elliott, to the cast. Both left at the end of the 1994–1995 season. Later acquisitions were sketch veteran Mark McKinney of the recently wrapped, Michaels-produced Canadian sketch comedy show The Kids in the Hall, and stand-up comic Janeane Garofalo, the latter of whom joined at the beginning of the 1994–1995 season, and the former joining in January shortly before
