Writers Strike Halts Production of Saturday Night Live, Canceling Remaining Season and Planned Hosts

Jennifer Coolidge and Kieran Culkin were scheduled to host the final two episodes of Saturday Night Live's 48th season before the show ceased production due to the Writers Guild of America strike.
The strike has put Saturday Night Live and other late-night shows on indefinite hiatus and will likely end the season early.
Musical guests Foo Fighters and Labrinth will no longer perform on the canceled episodes that Coolidge and Culkin were set to host.
Former cast member Pete Davidson's scheduled return to host was also canceled due to the strike.
The strike is focused on issues like pay, workplace harassment policies, and job security in the face of increasing automation.
