Now that the WGA strike is over, Saturday Night Live is playing a little game of catch-up. Pete Davidson will finally host the premiere of the show's 49th season on October 14, with Bad Bunny following as host on October 21.

Davidson was set to make his SNL return on May 6, but the WGA Strike began on May 2, putting this on hold. Ice Spice will be the musical guest on his episode.

The following week, Bad Bunny will both host and perform some of his music.

Prior to the strike, Foo Fighters, Jennifer Coolidge and Lil Uzi Vert were all set to make SNL appearances. It's yet to be announced whether or not they'll be rebooked.

The Writer's Guild of America ended their strike on September 27, and late-night shows have started to return this week. SAG-AFTRA actors still remain on strike.
