Saturday Night Live was canceled due to the writers' strike, but that didn't stop Pete Davidson from supporting the protesters by bringing them pizza.

It looks like 30 Rock won’t be live on the weekends for a while. Amid the Hollywood writers’ strike, “Saturday Night Live” ceased production and canceled the remainder of the season. The hiatus means this week’s episode featuring former cast member Pete Davidson as host and rapper Lil Uzi Vert as musical guest won't happen, according to a press release from NBC. The sketch comedy series had three episodes left in May. Instead, repeat episodes will air until further notice.

The Writers Guild of America, the union representing most writers for film and TV in the U.S., went on strike this week, bringing production in Hollywood to a screeching halt. The strike came after weeks of negotiations failed to generate a contract between the guild and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which bargains on behalf of the nine largest studios.
