Live from New York, “Saturday Night Live” is coming back after a months-long delay.
The NBC comedy show will debut its 49th season on Saturday, October 14 with Pete Davidson as host, the network announced Wednesday.Davidson, a former “SNL” cast member, was slated to host the show in May, before it was canceled due to the Writers Guild of America going on strike.

While that strike has ended, the actors’ strike – being staged by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists against AMPTP – is still ongoing.
