The 19th episode of Season 15 and the 285th episode of Saturday Night Live, hosted by stand-up comedian and actor Andrew Dice Clay with musical guests The Spanic Boys & Julee Cruise. It premiered on May 12, 1990.

This was the only time hosting for Andrew Dice Clay and the only musical guest appearances on SNL for both The Spanic Boys & Julee Cruise.

The episode attracted controversy when it was announced that Andrew Dice Clay would be hosting, as he had become infamous for his stand-up jokes about women. Cast member Nora Dunn, who was not a fan of said jokes, boycotted the show and refused to appear in the episode. Planned musical guest Sinéad O'Connor also dropped out in protest, and was replaced by The Spanic Boys and Julee Cruise.

Title Image Summary
It’s A Wonderful Dice (Cold Opening) Depressed by the negative publicity surrounding his upcoming hosting gig, Andrew “Dice” Clay wishes he had never been born, prompting Mephistopheles (Jon Lovitz) to show him what “Saturday Night Live” would be like without him.
Opening montage Despite protesting this episode, Nora Dunn is still credited in this episode. This is later lampshaded during the goodnights where Don Pardo’s voice-over comically addresses his confusion over the fact that he still had to announce Nora during the opening montage. As usual for Don Pardo’s goodnights voice-overs, that would later be removed in reruns.
