Pete Davidson is heading back to Saturday Night Live — this time as host. In a new promo for the upcoming episode on Saturday (Oct. 14), Davidson teams up with musical guest Ice Spice.
In one of the clips, longtime SNL cast member Kenan Thompson asks Davidson if his mom is coming to the taping, the Staten Island native replied, “I mean, if I go, she goes. We share a car, dude.”
When Thompson notes that it’s “weird” to share a car with your mom at the age of 29, Ice Spice chimes in and says, “I think it’s sweet.”
After Davidson flashes the “Princess Diana” rapper a flirty look, Thompson says, “Wow, it really be working for you, huh?”
Davidson was supposed to host the show on May 6, alongside musical guest Lil Uzi Vert, before the writers’ strike canceled all upcoming episodes when it started on May 2. The season 49 premiere on Saturday (Oct. 14) marks Ice Spice’s debut on the show.
The following week, on Oct. 21, Bad Bunny will pull double duty as host and musical guest. Bad Bunny made his first appearance on SNL in April 2020 with a cameo during a pandemic-era Saturday Night Live At Home episode. He made his debut as a musical guest in February 2021 (and acted in a couple of sketches) alongside Bridgerton star Rege-Jean Page as the host. The Oct. 21 episode will mark Bad Bunny’s first time hosting.
