NEW YORK — After a five-month layoff, it's finally time for the 49th season of "Saturday Night Live."
The 49th season of "SNL" will premiere Saturday, Oct. 14, with host Pete Davidson.
Davidson was a "Saturday Night Live" cast member for eight seasons until he announced he was leaving in May 2022. This will be his first time hosting the sketch comedy series after his scheduled appearance on the show was canceled May 6 when the show went dark amid the writers' strike.
Ice Spice will perform as the “SNL” musical guest for the first time on Saturday. Ice Spice was named Best New Artist at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.
Bad Bunny will do double duty on Saturday, Oct. 21, for his “SNL” hosting debut and second musical guest appearance.
NBC has also announced Chloe Troast has joined the cast of "Saturday Night Live" as a featured player. The entire "SNL" cast from last season is back this year.
“Saturday Night Live” won the 2022 Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Sketch Series.
