‘Nobody wants to be my friend’: Pete Davidson’s SNL fate could have been drastically different if it hadn’t been for Lorne Michaels
- Pete Davidson joined "Saturday Night Live" in 2014, becoming one of the youngest cast members ever at age 20. He initially wanted to quit due to feeling out of place among more talented peers.
- Davidson expressed his doubts to Lorne Michaels, asking to be fired, stating, 'I don't belong here. Everybody here is so talented and they don't want to be my friend.'
- Michaels reassured Davidson that it would take time to adjust, saying, 'You don't figure it out until your third or fourth year.' Davidson stayed for eight seasons despite his struggles.
- Davidson returned to host the season 49 premiere in 2023 and has been open about his mental health issues, wanting to be known for his work rather than his relationships.
