00:04 It looks like Pete Davidson is leading Saturday Night Live's return following the end of the
00:09 writer's strike. The comedian will be making his hosting debut for the season 49 premiere
00:14 after his originally planned hosting duties were sidelined amid the writer's strike.
00:18 Ice-Spice will be serving as the musical guest. In his SNL promo, he's seen sneaking up on
00:22 Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman as the two chat in studio 8H about their summer.
00:28 "Only cast or hosts are allowed in the studio." "Oh, okay. I'll do that."
00:32 "Do what?"
00:36 Davidson exited the show in May of 2022 after eight seasons as a performer and was
00:41 originally scheduled to serve as a host in May before it was put on hold due to the WGA strike.
00:47 SAG-AFTRA has noted that although the actors' union continues to strike,
00:51 there is no problem with SNL cast members and hosts appearing on the sketch show,
00:55 which is under the contract that covers talk shows and unscripted programming.
