SNL hyped up Pete Davidson's return as host for the Season 49 premiere with a new promo featuring the comedian doing his best Kenan Thompson face.
The Big Picture What better way to welcome back Saturday Night Live after the WGA strike than to bring back the series' former golden boy Pete Davidson? The Transformers: Rise of the Beasts star was set to host for his first time earlier this year since his 2022 departure before everything was shut down as the writers prepared to fight for fair wages.
Davidson originally planned to promote his Peacock comedy series Bupkis, which SNL boss Lorne Michaels executive produced, with his hosting gig. In the time since he was meant to take the reins, however, he's appeared on the big screen in a host of massive projects including Rise of the Beasts and, most recently, the GameStop short-squeeze comedy Dumb Money.
