Pete Davidson, The Dude From Staten Island Turned Comic Icon

Pete Davidson is an iconic face on late-night television. One of the youngest to be cast in Saturday Night Live. Born in Staten Island, NY. 

The 30-year-old (born in 1993) started his career as a comedian in 2013.

He is seemingly most known for very particular sketches and just being overall a funny actor. 

Davidson was a cast member from 2014 to 2022. With that being said he hosted the show in 2023. 

Davidson enjoys constantly referencing his use of drugs and substances. Some would consider him known for his addiction. Overall he seemingly is not child-friendly at all. He also seems like he does not want to be. His main audience aim is twords people in their 20’s and 30’s. 

It seems that he tries to be a bit more wholesome by talking about his family sometimes but then it always turns dirty. An example of this is in his hosting monolge he talks about how he tried to bond with his sister by watching a show together. This show turned out to be Game of Thrones. He did not realize how suggestive the show was and talked about how awkward that was as a sibling bonding activity. 

In this same monologue, he gets very angry about the outcome of the sibling bonding. This upset, childlike behavior makes the audience laugh. 

He also likes to poke fun at where he is from. This is mainly because on the grand scale of New York Staten Island is usually the butt of the joke.  

He also enjoys talking about his conquests and some would say “brag” about them. 

He is known for his time on SNL but now he is most known for dating famous women. He has dated many popular women but some notable ones are Ariana Grande (May 2018 to October 2018) and Kim Kardashian (October 2021 to April 2022)

As of March 2024 Davidson for the most part is staying out of the limelight and keeping it low.
