Davidson, whose Saturday Night Live hosting debut in May to promote his new Peacock sitcom Bupkis was canceled due to the onset of the writers’ strike, will finally get to host when SNL returns on Oct. 14. He'll be joined by musical guest Ice Spice. Bad Bunny will pull double duty the following week, on Oct. 21, as host and musical guest. The entire Season 48 cast will be back, plus new cast member Chloe Troast. Davidson will be able to promote his new movie Dumb Money and Bupkis, which was renewed for Season 2.

SNL adds one new cast member for Season 49: Chloe Troast (https://deadline.com/feature/chloe-troast-snl-cast-1235564242/): Troast, known for working closely with SNL's Please Don’t Destroy trio, nearly landed on Saturday Night Live's cast last season, according to Deadline. She'll appear in the Please Don't Destroy Peacock movie The Treasure of Foggy Mountain. Troast is also known for her webseries The Basics.

SAG-AFTRA is okay with its members appearing on SNL during the actors' strike (https://www.thewrap.com/sag-aftra-clarifies-members-can-appear-snl-nbc-strike/): “SAG-AFTRA members appearing on Saturday Night Live either as hosts, guests, or cast members are working under the Network Code agreement, which is not a contract we are striking,” the guild wrote in a message to its members on Wednesday. “They are not in violation of SAG-AFTRA strike rules, and we support them in fulfilling their contractual obligations." The actors’ guild clarified that SNL is a “SAG-AFTRA non-dramatic production” which operates under a separate agreement “that is not subject to the union’s strike order.”
