List of episodes

Saturday Night Live airs its thirty-eighth season during the 2012–2013 television season on NBC. The season officially began on September 15, 2012, with host Seth MacFarlane and musical guest Frank Ocean.

Prior to the start of the season, many cast changes occurred. Andy Samberg and Kristen Wiig, both cast members since 2005, decided not to return following the end of the previous season. As well, prior to the start of the season, Abby Elliott, who had been a cast member since 2008, was let go after only four seasons on the show. Vanessa Bayer, Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah were upgraded to repertory status.

To fill the void, the show hired three new cast members: Chicago improvisers Aidy Bryant, Cecily Strong, and Tim Robinson. According to the official press release, "Bryant trained at the iO Chicago, Annoyance Theatre and she was also part of the ensemble that performed on the Second City E.T.C Stage. Robinson also trained at the The Second City, he performed on their Mainstage and was also part of their National Touring Company. Like Robinson, Strong has also performed as part of the National Touring Company and trained at the iO Theater".

Also airing this season were two election-themed episodes of Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday, which aired on September 20, 2012 and September 27, 2012.

Two months before the start of the season, original SNL writer and occasional featured player Tom Davis died after a two year battle with throat and neck cancer.

Longtime cast member Bill Hader, on the show since 2005, announced on May 14, 2013 that this season would be his last. In addition to Hader, this would also be the final season for Fred Armisen, who had been with the show since 2002.
