Pete Davidson Delivers Hilarious Farewell to ‘SNL’ in Final Sketch, Mentions Kanye West and Ariana Grande
Pete Davidson has mentioned Kanye West and Ariana Grande in his hilarious and final segment on "SNL" on Saturday. According to CNN, Davidson reflected on his SNL journey while on "Weekend Update."
"Hello Colin, Che, and millions of people only watching to see if I bring up Kanye [West]," Davidson said as he opened the segment.
The "Donda" rapper and the comedian have been engaged in an ongoing feud since Davidson started dating West's ex, Kim Kardashian.
Davidson also took the opportunity to thank SNL creator Lorne Michaels, who always gave him the "best" advice, including about his engagement to singer Ariana Grande.
The comedian noted that Michaels told him to "hold on for dear life" after mentioning that he was engaged to Grande after dating for two weeks.
Davidson also recalled when he was just starting on the comedy show, claiming that he was a skinny kid with no idea of his race back then.
The comedian said everyone now knows he is White because he became successful "while barely showing up to work." Davidson thanked the show for always supporting him and allowing him "to work on myself and grow" over the past eight years.
"Thank you to Lorne for never giving up on me or judging me even when everyone else was... and for believing me and allowing me to have a place I could call home with the memories that will last a lifetime," Davidson noted.
Aside from Pete Davidson, SNL cast members Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Kate McKinnon also said goodbye in the season 47 finale.
