Pete Davidson Is Set To Depart From Saturday Night Live After The Season Finale

Pete Davidson, who first debuted on Saturday Night Live as a minor role, has since risen to prominence. He’ll be leaving after this Sunday’s season finale. The season 47 finale of Saturday Night Live will feature Davidson’s departure, hosted by Natasha Lyonne (Russian Doll) and featuring musical guest Japanese Breakfast.

At the age of 20, Davidson became a featured player on the show in 2014, making him one of the show’s youngest cast members in its 47-year history. The comedian’s Netflix comedy special is set to premiere on June 13, according to insiders. The producers of NBC’s SNL were unavailable for comment.

What has Pete Davidson already said regarding his leaving from Saturday Night Live?

Pete Davidson has already announced his departure. He said in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God:

‘I’ve had a number of chats with folks about leaving.’

It’s challenging because you don’t want to pull the trigger too quickly. ‘You’ll know when you know, and everything will be OK,’ everyone has always said.

Following in the footsteps of Kristen Wiig, he released The King of Staten Island, a biopic based on his life, in 2020, establishing himself as a true breakout star. In his new Netflix comedy special earlier this month, Pete compared Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West to Mrs Doubtfire, mocking his girlfriend’s custody battle with her ex-husband.

Pete Davidson claims that:

‘Does anybody else secretly wish Kanye pulls a Mrs. Doubtfire?’

“This is the new housekeeper,” they stated one day when I returned home. He asks, “What’s up, fam?” The joke is a reference to the 1993 family comedy in which Robin Williams plays a newly divorced father who disguises himself as a female cleaner to spend more time with his children. Kim attended the recording, which took place at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on April 30. Davidson has utilized his huge reputation as a cast member of Saturday Night Live to promote his career with films like the semi-autobiographical The King of Staten Island.
