In his final Weekend Update appearance, Pete Davidson confirmed that he is leaving “Saturday Night Live” while reminiscing on his time on the show. “I never imagined this would be my life. Back then, I was just a skinny kid that no one knew which race I was,” he joked.
When Colin Jost asked Davidson if he would miss anything on SNL, the “Big Time Adolescence” star admitted that he would miss Lorne Michaels, the show’s creator. “He’s amazing,” Davidson said before going on to share Michaels’ reaction to his 2018 engagement to Ariana Grande. Davidson recalled, “I called him when I got engaged. I said, ‘Lorne, I just got engaged to Ariana Grande after dating for two weeks,’ and he said, ‘Oh, hold on for dear life.'”
As fans know how Davidson and Grande ended, the stars have gone on to find love again in other Hollywood names. While Grande got married to real estate agent Dalton Gomez in May 2021 (per Vogue), these days, the comic is busy with new girlfriend Kim Kardashian, with whom Davidson shared an onscreen kissduring her hosting stint on “SNL.” No doubt, we sure will miss seeing him on our screens on Saturday nights, but we don’t think Davidson will stray too far from the spotlight anytime soon.
