“Saturday Night Live” is ready to make its return, five months after ending its season early due to the writers strike. NBC announced in a press release Wednesday that Pete Davidson will host the season 49 premiere on Oct. 14 with musical guest Ice Spice. Davidson had been scheduled to host the show last May. Grammy winner Bad Bunny will host the following week, on Oct. 21, and also serve as the musical guest. It will be his first-time hosting the sketch comedy show. “SNL” joins the late-night talk shows and a number of daytime talk shows that have returned or set dates to return to airwaves since the Writer's Guild of America set a deal with studios after 148 days.

Davidson had been set to host May 6, alongside musical guest Lil Uzi Vert, but his episode was the first to be cut after the writers strike started just days before. Theafter Writers Guild of America board members approved a contract agreement with studios. While Hollywood actors are still on strike for most television and theatrical work, the “SNL” cast can resume performing as variety shows operate under a different contract.
“I’m excited to do some more ‘SNL,’” cast member James Austin Johnson, known for impressions of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, told The Associated Press earlier this week. “It moves quick.”
