Who Are The ‘SNL’ Season 49 Hosts, Cast & Guests? What’s The Show’s Schedule?
deadline.comWhile Season 48 of Saturday Night Live was cut short by the writers strike in May, it’s looking like the iconic late-night show will be set for a full Season 49 this winter, and it could get underway soon.
While SAG-AFTRA is still out on strike, the tentative resolution of the WGA strike means the show’s scribes can get back in the writer’s room.
Technically, since late-night shows and reality shows are covered under SAG-AFTRA’s Network Code, actors are able to host, as well. When Will ‘SNL’ Be Back? Deadline hears that the show, which traditionally restarts at the very end of September or the beginning of October, is now likely to return on either October 7 or 14, pending a ratification vote by WGA members to formally end that strike.
Since the show’s staff are used to a weekly turnaround, it should not take long for SNL to get back up and running. For example, when the 2007-2008 writers strike ended on February 12, 2008, production commenced just six days later on Season 33 of SNL for the February 23 episode.
