Saturday Night Live season 49 has announced its official return date. The popular comedy sketch show, known for its rotating guest hosts and talented cast of comic actors, will premiere on October 14. The previous season was cut short due to a strike by the Writers Guild of America, but now that the strike has ended, the show can resume production. Despite an ongoing Screen Actors Guild strike, the cast's contracts are not being disputed, allowing them to return to the show. The first episode will be hosted by SNL alum Pete Davidson, with musical guest Ice Spice. The following week, Bad Bunny will both host and perform as the musical guest.
Everything Pete Davidson Has Done Since Leaving SNL
Pete Davidson made a quick return to Saturday Night Live not long after leaving the show. After being part of the cast for eight years, he departed in 2022. However, he hasn't been idle since leaving alongside other experienced performers like Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, and Kyle Mooney after Season 47 of SNL.
Since then, Davidson has taken on various roles that leverage his fame, both from his time on SNL and his highly-publicized romantic relationships. These include surprise appearances in blockbuster movies like Fast X and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, as well as the Netflix Christmas special Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery. Additionally, in 2022, he also landed significant roles in Bodies Bodies Bodies, Meet Cute, and Good Mourning following his departure from SNL.
With his already packed schedule in 2022, thanks to his titles and commitments on Saturday Night Live, Davidson has managed to take on several diverse roles in 2023 before making his comeback on the legendary late-night show. Throughout the year, he has made appearances on popular shows like The Freak Brothers and American Dad, portraying characters such as Kevin Gill in Dumb Money and Mirage in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Additionally, he brilliantly portrayed a fictionalized version of himself in the Peacock dramedy series Bupkis, truly deserving his triumphant return to SNL.
