What’s next? Pete Davidson has officially closed his Saturday Night Live chapter, but the comedian remains as booked and busy as ever thanks to his new series, Bupkis.
Davidson, 28, made his debut on the NBC sketch comedy show in 2014 and confirmed on Saturday, May 21, that he was leaving after eight seasons. The New York native, who doesn’t have his own social media account, took to SNL writer Dave Sirus‘ Instagram to reflect on his career highs and lows.
“This video was taken 8 years ago. Jerrod sent it to me last night and it made me super emotional in the best way. In the video, I had just gotten back from doing my very first update and sketch,” the Set It Up star wrote alongside a video of him hugging Jerrod Carmichael. “It’s crazy to think that today I’ll be doing my last one.”
The Guy Code alum gave his final “Weekend Update” performance during the season 47 finale on Saturday, which was hosted by Natasha Lyonne. As he prepared to say goodbye, Davidson opened up about feeling his most comfortable behind the iconic SNL desk.
“When I got the show I was 20 years old and I had no idea what I was doing. I still don’t but especially back then. I wasn’t really a sketch performer, I was just a stand up,” he continued via Instagram. “I knew I could never keep up or go toe-to-toe with a Kenan Thompson or a Kate McKinnon, so I was super scared at figuring out what I could possibly bring to or do for such a historic, respected show and platform. I figured since I’m a stand up, I’ll just try my stand up and personal bits on Weekend Update as myself and I’m so glad I did. I got to share so much with this audience and literally grow up in front of your eyes. We were together through the good and the bad, the happiest and the darkest
