Pete Davidson gave pizza slices to striking WGA workers instead of hosting SNL

Pete Davidson was scheduled to host ‘SNL’ this weekend before the writers’ strike shut down production of the sketch comedy show.

The 29-year-old even visited ‘The Tonight Show’ last week and joked about the possibility that the strike, which hadn’t started at the time, would ultimately affect his hosting gig, stating, ‘Of course, that would happen to me.’

Davidson was supposed to host ‘Saturday Night Live’ for the first time on May 6, but the NBC late-night show pulled the plug due to the strike, which began on Tuesday, May 2.

SNL is airing reruns instead for the time being. Other late-night shows ranging from NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ to CBS’ ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’, also went dark.

With his hosting gig no longer happening, Davidson decided to hand out pizza to striking writers instead.

“I got Spumoni’s for everyone,” Davidson says in the video. “Gotta support the writers, man! No shows without the writers.”

Negotiations between the Writers Guild of America, Hollywood studios, and streamers broke down over matters such as fair pay and regulating AI technology.

Pete is in full support of their strike, it seems, as he visited the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, where several WGA members were picketing.

He came bearing boxes of pizza from L&B Spumoni Gardens, one of the town’s most iconic Italian eateries, known for their square Sicilian slices.

Davidson isn’t the only performer whose ‘SNL’ hosting gigs have been canceled due to the WGA strike.

Kieran Culkin of ‘Succession’ was set to host with Labrinth, while Jennifer Coolidge and The Foo Fighters were set be on ‘Saturday Night Live’ for the season finale.

He also joins others performers who have shown their support for the strike, including Quinta Brunson, Natasha Lyonne, Brett Goldstein, Bowen Yang, Cynthia Nixon, Rob Lowe, Jimmy Fallon, and Jay Leno.
