According to a source, Scott Disick, Disick’s friend Chris Reda, and another male were also present with Davidson and Kardashian. Pete Davidson was seen entering a Manhattan hotel where Kardashian is staying earlier in the afternoon.

He arrived with Disick around 6 p.m., sparking speculation that he would not be attending “SNL” rehearsals, which usually begin around 8 p.m. Kim Kardashian’s SUV was then seen leaving the hotel around 6:20 p.m. on its way to Staten Island.

The Post learned Saturday afternoon that “SNL” was on the verge of cancelling tonight’s final episode of the iconic sketch show’s 2021 season which was set to be hosted by Paul Rudd with musical guest Charli XCX due to an in-house outbreak of positive COVID-19 cases after a set insider told us “four actors” tested positive and “three others” called out because they were “fearful” about coming to NBC Studios at 30 Rockef.

The “show must go on,” according to a source, “but don’t expect to see Colin Jost, Sarah Sherman, or (Aristotle) Athari.”
