WITH MORE ON THIS, IT'S PETE DAVIDSON >> YAY THANKS, COLIN. I -- I JUST LEARNED IT'S MENTAL ILLNESS AWARENESS WEEK, SO I WANTED TO MAKE EVERYONE AWARE. WE OUT HERE AND WE CRAZY GO, GIANTS SEASON'S NOT OVER. SEASON STARTS TOMORROW >> THIS IS THE GIANTS' YEAR, EVERYBODY SAYS IT. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE J.K. ROWLING CONTROVERSY >> I THINK I'M NEVER GETTING ANOTHER TATTOO FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. DON'T GET TATTOOS. I GOT A HARRY POTTER TATTOO YEARS AGO, BECAUSE I'M NOT PSYCHIC. I DIDN'T KNOW J.K. ROWLING WAS GOING TO GO ALL MEL GIBSON ON US [ LAUGHTER ] I HAVE A "GAME OF THRONES" TATTOO, AND NOW I'M TERRIFIED ONE DAY GEORGE R.R. MARTIN IS GOING TO BE LIKE, HEY, IF YOU ENJOYED WHAT I HAD TO SAY ABOUT DRAGONS AND DIRE WOLVES, WAIT TILL YOU HEAR WHAT I THINK ABOUT PUERTO RICANS! [ LAUGHTER ] ALSO, I HAVE A WINNIE-THE-POOH TATTOO, AM I GONNA HAVE TO FIND OUT HE WAS DIDDLING PIGLET THE WHOLE TIME THIS IS MADNESS! IT'S CRAZY TIMES WE LIVE IN! IT'S NOT FAIR. >> HOW DID YOU FEEL WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD THAT ROWLING SAID SOMETHING TRANSPHOBIC? >> IT REALLY HURT, BECAUSE I HAVE A CLOSE CONNECTION TO THOSE MOVIES I LOOK LIKE DOBBY THE HOUSE ELF IF HE BECAME A TIKTOK RAPPER [ LAUGHTER ] THAT WASN'T VERY NICE. IT IS SCARILY ACCURATE THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND DOBBY IS I'M A REAL PERSON AND HIS MOVIES GET RELEASED IN THEATERS [ LAUGHTER ] >> OH, YEAH. ALL RIGHT. SO YOU FOUND WHAT J.K. ROWLING SAID DISAPPOINTING VERY DISAPPOINTING, YEAH I LONG FOR A FEW YEARS AGO WHERE THE WORST THING SHE EVER DID WAS THE "FANTASTIC BEASTS" MOVIES. THERE'S NO DISCRIMINATION THERE, THOSE FILMS HARMED US EQUALLY. I MEAN, WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER? SHE CREATES A SEVEN-BOOK FANTASY SERIES ABOUT ALL TYPES OF MYTHICAL CREATURES LIVING IN HARMONY WITH WIZARDS AND ELVES AND THE ONE THING SHE CAN'T WRAP HER HEAD AROUND IS LAVERNE COX SHE'S A NATIONAL TREASURE! >> DID YOU FIND WHAT J.K. SAID SURPRISING, THEN >> YEAH, AT FIRST. THEN I STARTED THINKING ABOUT THE FANTASTICAL WORLD SHE CREATED. THE WOODS ARE CONTROLLED BY CENTAURS THE SCHOOLS ARE RUN BY WIZARDS AND GHOSTS WHO CONTROLS THE BANKS JEWS, OBVIOUSLY! LITTLE GIANT-NOSED JEW GOBLINS I CAN SAY THAT, BECAUSE AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M HALF GOBLIN [ LAUGHTER ] COME ON, IF THIS ISN'T A JEWS RUN THE BANKS REFERENCE, WHY DO THEY ALL LOOK EXACTLY LIKE ALAN DERSHOWITZ [ LAUGHTER ] YOU'VE BEEN DERSH'D, DERSH >> YEAH, NO -- SO PETE, WILL YOU STOP READING THE BOOKS >> I NEVER READ ANY OF THE BOOKS, AND I SAW PART OF "AZKABAN" ON THE PLANE ONCE. >> PETE DAVIDSON, EVERYONE >> FOR "WEEKEND UPDATE" I'M COLIN JOST >> I'M MICHAEL CHE
