Weekend Update: Pete Davidson on Staten Island - SNL

>>> WELL, 47 MILLION PEOPLE WILL TRAVEL THIS YEAR TO GET HOME FOR THANKSGIVING. HERE WITH HIS THOUGHTS ON GOING HOME FOR THE HOLIDAY IS PETE DAVIDSON. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> HELLO, COLIN. HOW ARE YOU? >> I'M GOOD. NOW PETE, SO YOU AND I ARE BOTH FROM STATEN ISLAND. DO YOU PLAN ON GOING HOME FOR THANKSGIVING? >> NO. I DON'T. IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T LOVE MY FAMILY. I DO. BUT AT THIS POINT THANKSGIVING DINNER IS JUST A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ASKING ME WHAT KATE McKINNON IS LIKE. AND I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW. SHE NEVER TALKS TO ME. PLUS, I FEEL LIKE MY HOMETOWN DOESN'T REALLY LIKE ME EITHER. >> WHY WOULDN'T THEY LIKE YOU? PEOPLE THERE ARE SO NICE. >> OF COURSE YOU SAY THAT. YOU'RE LIKE THE MOST POPULAR PERSON FROM THERE. THIS IS HOW THEY WRITE ABOUT COLIN IN OUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER, THE "STATEN ISLAND ADVANCE." "COLIN JOST TEES UP. IT'S ABOUT THREE WEEKS 'TIL ELECTION, BUT YOU COULD NEVER TELL BY COLIN JOST'S SWING." HERE'S HOW THEY WRITE ABOUT ME. THIS IS A REVIEW OF A WEEKEND UPDATE APPEARANCE I DID. "THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS ONE WAS HIS INTERACTION WITH COLIN JOST." SERIOUSLY, IT'S CRAZY. AND LOOK AT THE PICTURES THEY USE OF YOU. RIGHT? AND NOW LOOK AT THE PICTURES THEY USE OF ME. [ LAUGHTER ] >> WHY DO YOU THINK THEY DON'T LIKE YOU? >> I HAVE NO IDEA. I MEAN, IF I HAD TO GUESS, IT'S MAYBE SOMETHING I SAID IN AN INTERVIEW ONCE, THAT I WISHED THAT WHEN HURRICANE SANDY HIT STATEN ISLAND THAT IT HAD "FINISHED THE JOB." >> I REMEMBER THAT ONE. >> MAYBE I DID CROSS THE LINE. BUT WHEN A REPORTER FROM STATEN ISLAND WROTE ABOUT IT IN THE POST, HERE'S WHAT HE SAID, KEEP TALKING LIKE THAT, AND YOU WILL BE SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES. THAT'S A DEATH THREAT. IN A NEWSPAPER. WHO DOES THAT? WHAT ARE YOU, THE ZODIAC? THEN HE SAID THIS -- "TRY TAKING A CUE FROM YOUR FELLOW 'SNL' CAST MEMBER, COLIN&JOST. HE'S ALSO WAY BETTER LOOKING THAN YOU." >> I CAN SEE HOW WHAT YOU SAID MIGHT MAKE YOU UNPOPULAR. >> IT WAS JUST A JOKE. BUT LIKE A SERIOUS JOKE. YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW LIKE WHEN YOU ARE JOKING BUT YOU MEAN IT? I DON'T EVEN FEEL THAT WAY ANYMORE. I WOULD BE JUST AS HAPPY IF THERE WAS NO HURRICANE AND STATEN ISLAND JUST FELL INTO THE SEA. [ LAUGHTER ] >> TAKE IT EASY. >> NO, NO. SERIOUSLY -- NO. IF STATEN ISLAND IS SO DESIRABLE, THEN WHY IS IT FREE TO GET THERE? DON'T GET ME WRONG. DON'T GET ME WRONG. I KNOW STATEN ISLAND ISN'T ALL HEROIN AND RACIST COPS. IT ALSO HAS METH AND RACIST FIREFIGHTERS. [ LAUGHTER ] >> WHAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING IS NOT THE STATEN ISLAND I KNOW, PETE. >> THAT'S BECAUSE THEY LOVE YOU, BECAUSE YOU REPRESENT WHAT THEY COULD BE. A KID WHO GOT OUT, WENT TO HARVARD, AND IS NOW ACCORDING TO PEOPLE MAGAZINE, THE WORLD'S SEXIEST JOKE WRITER. AND THE REASON STATEN ISLAND HATES ME IS BECAUSE I REPRESENT WHAT THEY ARE. YOU KNOW, A MENTALLY ILL COMMUNITY COLLEGE DROPOUT WHO GOT A "GAME OF THRONES" TATTOO BEFORE WATCHING THE SHOW. [ LAUGHTER ] DIRE WOLVES LOOK DOPE. I DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. CONGRATS ON THAT SEXIEST GUY. >> YEAH, YEAH. >> RELAX. OKAY. LET'S BE HONEST. THE SEXIEST JOKE WRITER IS A REALLY SPECIFIC CATEGORY. IT'S LIKE BEING THE WORLD'S SMARTEST HORSE. [ LAUGHTER ] >> SO THEN YOU ARE NOT GOING HOME FOR THANKSGIVING? >> OH, NO. I AM. >> PETE DAVIDSON, EVERYONE. >> WHAT DID I SAY? >> FOR "WEEKEND UPDATE", I'M COLIN JOST. >> I'M MICHAEL CHE. GOODNIGHT!

This was my favorite bit of a pretty great show tonight. Pete was hilarious here and probably his best Weekend Update appearance, at least in my opinion. I think my favorite part was that all those articles are real!

[u/Freakazoidberg]

I'm liking this guy's style a lot. He always kills it when he drops by weekend update.

I haven't watched SNL in a long time, but I saw the Chance the Rapper hockey skit on Twitter this morning, and have spend the last hour watching clips from last night, and every one of them have been hilarious.

That was hilarious. I should be watching more SNL.

The best part about this is hearing Michael Che lose it in the background, and Pete’s interactions with Colin Jost.

and here's their article on this video. It's honestly amazing

Pete is one of my favorites on SNL right now..

Also, is it just me or does he look healthier than he ever has? I know he's been open about drugs and depression and that he's cleaned up, so maybe the effects are showing.

So happy for him!

Staten Island is the entire stereotype of New Jersey rolled into one concentrated square mile
