Who Is Hosting ‘Saturday Night Live’? A Guide to Season 49

Saturday Night Live is back!

The NBC show kicked off it’s 49th season on Oct. 14, and brought SNL alum Pete Davidson back to Studio 8H to host the premiere. SNL was forced to go dark and cut their 48th season short earlier this year due to the Writers Guild of America strike. However, with the WGA reaching a deal with the AMPTP, Saturday Night Live was able to return to TV.

After Jason Momoa made his return to the Saturday Night Live star on Nov. 18, NBC announced the next A-list actor who will be heading up the first episode of December.

Check out the full list of the hosts and musical guests who are lending their talent to season 49.

Pete Davidson hosted the season premiere, alongside the night’s musical guest, rapper Ice Spice. The Dumb Money star departed the show following season 47, after eight seasons — most in which he was the youngest cast member. Davidson joined the show when he was just 20 years old and was perhaps most popular for his self-effacing “Weekend Update” appearances.
