A Saturday Night Live reunion is on the way! Pete Davidson is slated to host the next episode of the variety series nearly one year after his departure.
“Coming up next!!!” a post read on SNL’s Instagram account on Saturday, April 15, revealing that Davidson, 29, will lead the Saturday, May 6, episode. Rapper Lil Uzi Vert will serve as the musical guest.
The Bupkis star rose to fame as one of the ensemble players on SNL in 2014. He continued to perform on the sketch series for eight seasons before ultimately announcing in May 2022 that he was ready to take his final bow.
“It’s crazy to think that today I’ll be doing my last one,” the New York native captioned an Instagram note, shared via pal — and SNL writer — Dave Sirius’ account at the time. “When I got the show I was 20 years old and I had no idea what I was doing. I still don’t but especially back then. I wasn’t really a sketch performer I was just a stand up [comedian]. I knew I could never keep up or go toe to toe with a Kenan Thompson or a Kate McKinnon so I was super scared at figuring out what I could possibly bring to or do for such a historic, respected show and platform.”
He continued: “I figured since I’m a stand up I’ll just try my stand-up and personal bits on ‘Weekend Update’ as myself and I’m so glad I did.
