The thirty-fourth season of Saturday Night Live began on September 13, 2008 and ended on May 16, 2009. On January 4, 2009, a SNL Sports Extra '09 episode aired as a compilation of sports sketches from the history of SNL in honor of the upcoming Superbowl.

This was the first season for Bobby Moynihan and Abby Elliott (daughter of former SNL cast member Chris Elliott), and the only season for Michaela Watkins. Watkins and Elliott started on November 15, 2008. This is the final season for Amy Poehler, Casey Wilson, and longtime cast member Darrell Hammond (who left the show at the end of the season after a then-record breaking 14 years on the show); Poehler missed the October 25th-November 22nd episodes due to maternity leave. Aubrey Plaza and John Roberts (most-known for the Fox series Bob's Burgers) auditioned but were passed over.^[1]^[2]
