Pete Davidson gets emotional as he bids farewell to "Saturday Night Live"
[Pete Davidson said goodbye to "Saturday Night Live. Pete Davidson said goodbye to "Saturday Night Live" after eight years of jokes.
In his final "Weekend Update" segment with co-host Colin Jost, he started off strong with a one-liner, "Hello, Colin and Che, and the millions of people who are watching just to see if you bring up Kanye."
Pete Davidson has been dating Kim Kardashian, who was married to Kanye "Ye" West, since the fall, and West has since publicly insulted him on various platforms. Davidson also brought up West's mental health struggles on SNL in 2018.
"I never imagined this would be my life," he said. 'Look at me when I started this job. Back then I was like a skinny kid and nobody knew what race I was. And now everyone knows I'm white, because I've made it big while barely going to work."
Continuing his self-deprecating joke, Davidson said, "And look at me now, I'm old as an old banana! And Colin still looks like the only Kennedy who doesn't drink"
.
He reflected on what he will miss most after the show ends." (I called (SNL producer) Lorne Michaels and told him when we got engaged." Lorne, I got engaged to Ariana Grande after dating her for two weeks, and he said, "Oh, go for your life!" He said, "Oh, yeah!"? ????
Elaborating further on his relationship with the producer, he said, "Then when I auditioned for SNL, he looked me in the eye and said, 'I don't think you're right for this show. I don't think you're right for this show, so let's screw it up together. So I don't want people who don't think I'm right for this job to hate me. That's really nice.
At this point in the speech, Davidson became emotional and his voice began to crack a little." I am grateful that SNL has always had my back and allowed me to work on myself and grow." "Thank you for the loan." "Thank you for believing in me and giving me a place to call home that I will remember for the rest of my life, without giving up on me or judging me, even though everyone else did." "So thank you, everyone." :) :) :) :)
