NBC has canceled this weekend’s episode of “Saturday Night Live” due to the writers strike. Repeats will be aired until further notice, the network said.
Pete Davidson was set to host the May 6 show with musical guest Lil Uzi Vert.
The news, which was expected, comes as the various late night shows all plan to go dark starting Tuesday after the WGA called for a strike. Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, John Oliver and Bill Maher are all airing repeat episodes this week.
Meyers, who was head writer at “SNL,” addressed the potential strike last week and recalled working at “SNL” during the last strike.
