On November 5, 2007, after the episode hosted by Brian Williams, the Writers Guild of America went on strike. It was announced that "SNL" would air its next episode on November 10, 2007 (with host Dwayne Johnson and musical guest Amy Winehouse), live on air, with a future episode to follow, featuring Jonah Hill and musical guest Kid Rock. However, on November 7, 2007, the show's official website confirmed that those episodes were canceled and reruns would be seen beginning November 10, and would continue for the duration of the strike. Hill eventually hosted the March 15 episode, with musical guest Mariah Carey (filling in for a flu-stricken Janet Jackson) and Johnson would host next season, with musical guest Ray LaMontagne. Amy Winehouse would never get the chance to be a musical guest, host, or even cameo due to her death in 2011.
