You know, I worked with these guys for a fourth of my life. I started there with acne and left with tattoos. Right now, it’s still – it’s all up in the air. I got to talk to Lorne [Michaels]. It’s a big cast; there’s a lot of new guys in there, and there’s a lot of great new talent that it’s their time to shine. I have no idea what’s going on right now.”

Outside of SNL, Pete Davidson’s movie career is certainly flourishing as he will have an appearance in 2021’s The Suicide Squad and on top of that, he’s currently filming/recording the voice of Marmaduke for the animated adaptation of the classic comic strip. He is also set to act in American Sole, The Things They Carried (adapted from Tim O’Brien’s book), and the role of Joey Ramone in I Slept With Joey Ramone. We will have to see if Davidson does return to SNL for at least one more season as fans would love to see him back.
