It’s been a dramatic couple of years for Saturday Night Live, which has seen a big turnover in cast, plus truncated seasons first as a result of the pandemic and then, this summer, the WGA strike. Now that strike has been settled, SNL is finally back, only a few weeks behind its regular schedule.
The actors’ strike, which is still going on, doesn’t affect the program due to a separate agreement that is not subject to the union’s strike order. It may, however, make finding hosts difficult for the foreseeable future.
