Pete Davidson Says He Would Return to Saturday Night Live Under One Condition
Comedian and actor Pete Davidson, a former cast member of Saturday Night Live (SNL) from 2014 to 2022, revealed that he would gladly return to the show—but only under a specific condition.
In an interview with People, Davidson said that if SNL creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels ever reached out, he would not hesitate to accept the invitation.
"I'd do anything for Lorne."
Davidson also shared fond memories of his time on the show, reflecting on his past experience as both a cast member and a host.
"I had a great time hosting last time, and anytime you get that call, it's an honor and a privilege."
He spoke warmly about the show's ongoing popularity, its strong ensemble, and the excitement it continues to generate among audiences.
"It's always relevant, it's a hot show. People look forward to it, and the cast is great."
Davidson credited Michaels for taking a chance on him early in his career, helping him secure a pivotal role that propelled him into mainstream fame.
Joining the SNL cast at just 20 years old during the show's 40th season, Davidson became one of the youngest performers in its history. He remained on the show for eight seasons and later returned to host in October 2023. That episode featured Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and musical guest Ice Spice.
Throughout his tenure, Davidson delivered major fan-favorite performances, particularly his recurring character “Chad,” which became one of his most recognized sketches.
