Comedian Pete Davidson has also wowed fans as both an actor and a producer. Although he has been a cast member of "Saturday Night Live" since 2014, the New York-born entertainer has also appeared in several MTV shows, including "Wild 'n Out" and "Guy Code."

Although he has been rumored to be dating “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star Kim Kardashian, neither of them has confirmed the romance. The two shared a romantic kiss when Kim made her hosting debut on “Saturday Night Live” and was later spotted holding hands at Knott’s Berry Farm.

As The Blast previously reported, “Gone Girl” actress Emily Ratajkowski recently praised Davidson, calling him “vulnerable,” “lovely,” and “super charming.”

Pete Davidson Gets Real About 'Saturday Night Live' Performances

Davidson revealed that he "definitely never felt less funny" when he is performing on the Emmy-award-winning show, which first debuted on October 11, 1975.

Even though he has been with the show for seven seasons, Davidson explained that it can be hard performing when "you're surrounded by the funniest people all the time."

"When I'm there I’m just like, 'Oh, I'm garbage,'" Davidson added. "Because you watch, like, Kate [McKinnon], or Chloe [Fineman], or Kenan [Thompson] do like a hundred million things, and my line will be like 'Hey everybody.' So it's just like, you know, I know my place."

He also added that it can be frustrating when family members hound him for tickets, especially when stars like Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift are invited on as musical guests.

What Do Fans Think Of Pete Davidson?

Although Davidson may feel as though his performances don't stand out, they are beloved by audiences.

Last week, Davidson roasted Aaron Rodgers when he impersonated him during a “SNL” comedy skit to mock statements he made about choosing not to vaccinate against COVID-19. Rodgers had previously said he was “immunized” against COVID-19, which led many to assume he was vaccinated.

Last night, Davidson also teamed up with "All Too Well" singer and director Taylor Swift, who added a few savage lyrics of her own in a music video roasting the comedy group "Please Don’t Destroy,” which is comprised of "SNL" writers BenMarshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy.

In the parody music video “Three Sad Virgins,” Swift said that one of the writers looked like a “sad Ron Weasley” and added that he “looks like if Big Bird lost all his feathers.”

Although Davidson may have never felt less funny performing on "Saturday Night Live," fans can't wait to see what performances he has in store for them next week!
