When Pete Davidson decided he’d had enough of being Saturday Night Live‘s punchline, he chalked up the Deuces and exited from the show as a regular cast member. Since his departure, he’s been unleashing his sharable sized trouser snake with all the ladies, but he must have been homesick to return to SNL for a bit of fun. Originally, Pete was slated to host this weekend’s episode of SNL with musical guest Lil Uzi Vert. But while Pete was preparing to keep all mention of selfie seductress Kim Kardashian out of his mouth the Writer’s Guild of America members were throwing their pens down and grabbing picket signs for a nationwide strike. And because of this, Pete’s hosting gig has been canceled.
Pete Davidson Probably Won’t Make Any Jokes About Kim Kardashian When He Hosts “Saturday Night Live” Next Week

Though one of the highlights of Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s chaotically eventful 9-month relationship was the two of them roasting her enormous ass and his pimply, neon white one (I’m assuming) as they humped in front of a fireplace in tribute to Kim’s beloved, freaky (and still alive) grandma, it looks like Pete won’t be roasting Kim when he returns to Saturday Night Live to host next week.
Colin Farrell Called Out “Saturday Night Live” For Its Drunk Irish Stereotype In A Skit

Just when we thought that nobody bothered watching Saturday Night Live anymore, Colin Farrell might’ve reinstated public interest with a sprinkle of shade towards the sketch show during the 2023 Academy Awards. Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel descended down from the stage for the part of the show where he puts a mic in the face of audience members to ask questions from “fans” (aka the Oscars writer’s room). After terrorizing activist and human embodiment of world peace Malala Yousafzai, Jimmy stepped up to Colin Farrell to ask a question on behalf of “Joey from Las Vegas,” saying, “Colin, I loved your performance in The Banshees of Inisherin, my question is, what were you saying in the movie?” Colin hit back with, “I’d like him to go on Youtube and check out SNL last night and he’ll have a good idea.”
Keke Palmer Is Pregnant With Her First Child And Made The Announcement On “Saturday Night Live”

Keke Palmer pulled a Cardi B. No, she didn’t allegedly arrange a hit on some strippers who were allegedly banging her man, but she did reveal a pregnancy on Saturday Night Live. There were pregnancy rumors about 29-year-old Keke, but she confirmed the news herself during the monologue of her debut hosting gig by rubbing her baby bump live. Hopefully, she decides to return our timeline to the right path by never teaching her child about Dick Cheney–I think her finding out who he was is one of the time paradoxes polluting our existence.
Anti-Defamation League President Responds To Dave Chappelle’s “Saturday Night Live” Opening Monologue

Back in the early days of Saturday Night Live, the cast used to do everything short of having an orgy before performing their live skits, and that spirit of “Who Gives A Fuck?!” energy has been resurrected in recent years. But no more than when caustic comic Dave Chappelle took the reins as host this past weekend. Ahead of his appearance, several SNL writers reportedly tapped out of his episode over his past controversies. We already know Dave says what he wants, smokes whatever he has in his hand, and makes a swift exit before anyone can throw a rotten tomato at him. But his recent monologue for last week’s SNL episode, where he referenced GoFundMe candidate Kanye West‘s anti-Semitic sentiments, has gotten him into trouble with the Anti-Defamation League and its president Jonathan Goldblatt.
Some “Saturday Night Live” Writers Are Rumored To Be Boycotting This Week’s Show In Protest Of Dave Chappelle Hosting

Because of Dave Chappelle’s history of jokes that many find homophobic and transphobic, he’s since become the festering church fart many make a concerted effort to avoid (or try to swat into dissipation). His last Netflix special, The Closer, drew a great deal of ire and protest when it came out last year; and now Page Six reported that several Saturday Night Live staff writers are sitting out this week’s show as a statement of their disapproval of him being chosen to host. I mean, SNL has been sitting out SNL for about five years as it is, so this Saturday’s episode may be especially devoid of sketches that cause people to make quiet “mmph” sounds through their nostrils in acknowledgment that a joke was just attempted.
