Saturday Night Live: Pete Davidson, SNL Cast Check In From Read-Thru

With host Pete Davidson & musical guest Ice Spice on tap, here's a look at the first read-thru for NBC's Saturday Night Live Season 49.

And just like we promised, NBC's Saturday Night Live is holding up its end of our bargain. With host/SNL alum Pete Davidson & musical guest Ice Spice set to take the stages of Studio 8H this weekend, we've had an intro video for the duo as well as a midweek sketch spotlighting Davidson earlier today.

But when Yang & Fineman remind him of the rule about being in the studio, we learn just how much Davidson understands how the SNL hosting game gets played…

They are not in violation of SAG-AFTRA strike rules, and we support them in fulfilling their contractual obligations," the message to SAG-AFTRA members from earlier this month began. "The program is a SAG-AFTRA non-dramatic production under a separate agreement that is not subject to the union's strike order." Now, here's a look back at the post announcing Troast as the newest cast member:
