“Hello, Colin and Che and millions of people only watching to see if I bring up Kanye,” Davidson begins. This was his live appearance after months on the show. “Yeah, you had a weird year,” Jost replied.
“Yeah. I just — I never imagined this would be my life,” Davidson continues. “Look at me when I started here. Back then I was just like a skinny kid and no one knew what race I was. Like now, everyone knows I’m white because I became hugely successful while barely showing up to work.“
Pete Talked About Ariana In His Act
The act has a part where Davidson is asked what he would miss most about his time on the show. The comedian fondly replies with the show’s iconic creator and producer, Lorne Michaels.
“He really always gives me the best advice,” Davidson shared. “This is all true. I’ll never forget. I called him when I got engaged. I was like, ‘Lorne, I just got engaged to Ariana Grande after dating her for two weeks.’ He goes, ‘Oh, well hold on for dear life.’ It’s a true story.”
“And then when I auditioned for SNL he said, ‘I don’t think you’re right for this show, so let’s screw this up together,'” Davidson added. “And that’s exactly what we did! That’s why people who don’t think I deserve the job shouldn’t really hate me since we have so much in common. Like, if anything, I should inspire hope that literally anyone can be on Saturday Night Live.“
Davidson concluded with, “I appreciate SNL, and Lorne for never giving up on me and believing in me and allowing me to have a place that, like, I could call home with memories that will last a lifetime, so thank you, guys.”
The news of Davidson leaving SNL was confirmed on Saturday afternoon. Alongside him, cast members Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, and Kyle Mooney are also departing from the show.
Is Kim Kardashian The Reason Behind The Departure?
Pete Davidson joined SNL back in 2014 at the age of 20. He was one of the youngest stars to ever join the cast in the show’s 47-year history. In the beginning, he was quick to gain attention for his “Weekend Update” banter. Also for his appearances as Chad, the character was known for his oblivious reactions to a laundry list of outlandish circumstances.
While Davidson has truly had a roller coaster ride of life this year. His private life has gathered much attention. His relationship with Kim Kardashian and feud with Kanye West has been quite nerve-wracking. People are blaming Pete’s departure from SNL on Kim Kardashian. Although there is no confirmation about this, fans will find out soon what is the truth?
