Saturday Night Live was the breakout for Pete Davidson. Joining the long-running sketch comedy show in 2014, Davidson spent eight seasons on the show. During that time, he also became known for other things. As much as we would like to credit those other things as other acting performances, like Set It Up and King Of Staten Island, sadly we cannot. Davidson became known for his varied dating life and his reportedly giant dick.
Perhaps his most famous relationship was his nine-month relationship with Kim Kardashian. Reportedly blossoming from an on-screen kiss during Kim’s 2021 SNL host slot, the relationship dominated headlines. The pair parted ways in 2022, but apparently remain on good terms. That will play a major factor as Davidson prepares to host SNL on May 6.
Davidson Won’t Drop Kim K Jokes on “SNL”
Pete Davidson will be the next guest host of SNL when the show returns from a one-week hiatus on May 6. It is Davidson’s first time hosting since he left the show in 2022. He is the fourth SNL alum to host during the current season, following Molly Shannon, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. The current season has also featured Ana de Armas, Megan Thee Stallion, Aubrey Plaza, and Jenna Ortega as hosts. The most watched episode of the season was the one hosted by Martin and Short, which also featured musical guest Brandi Carlile. It is the only episode of the season to break five million viewers. The show hit that mark three times in the prior season. Davidson’s appearance is expected to be a major ratings bump for the show.
However, Davidson will not be joking about his most famous ex during skits or his monologue. According to a source who spoke to Page Six, both parties had agreed to “move on” after the break-up, which is why Kardashian isn’t mentioned in Davidson’s stand-up routines. Furthermore, the source told the gossip outlet that Davidson wants to be a “good sport” and “perfect gentleman” during his hosting, which means not joking about his ex. The musical guest for Davdison’s episode will be Lil Uzi Vert. However, whether Davidson’s pledge remains the case will have to be seen on May 6.
