Watch Pete Davidson bring his stand-up routine to the opening monologue on Saturday Night Live in the first episode back after the WGA strike.
Saturday Night Live returned with Pete Davidson as host and musical guest Ice Spice! The episode is the first back following a five-month hiatus in support of the WGA strike and now.
So what is Davidson up to? He’s preparing to turn 30 years old, and so he talked a lot about his relationship with his sister. Davidson makes a joke that she has an important job where she helps to save lives, meanwhile, he is a “drug addict.” He went on to joke about them watching Game of Thrones together — a show, which famously does have a lot of incest in it, is maybe not the best choice for Davidson to watch with his sister, he jokes.
But amidst realizing his mistakes with his show choices and making jokes about aging, he also speaks about his life and his career. He weaves in jokes about growing up in Staten Island, friends-with-benefits relationships from his youth, and the first time he ever tried to do stand-up, with Davidson, of course, putting his own twist of dark humor into the jokes.
'SNL' Lets Stand Up Comedians Do What They Do Best One of the best changes to Saturday Night Live in recent seasons is a switch in how the show handles monologues for comedians. Now, they let them perform mini-versions of their stand-up sets during the monologue, and we were taken into their typical routine instead of a regular monologue with an actor who'll typically promote upcoming projects and occasionally address current events.
