Pete Davidson just got through his first show on Saturday Night Live but the reviews just won't stop reeling in. The 20 year old comedian made headlines last Saturday after becoming the only new member of the show this year.
Pete Davidson began doing comedy at age 16 as an outlet after the loss of his dad, a fire fighter, in 9/11. The comedian would later perform in gigs across New York City before being spotted by celebrity turned manager Nick Canon and hitting the screens. The comedian graced such shows as MTV's Guy Code, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Wild N' Out.
Immediately after being introduced on the show, the young comedian hit it off with the crowd, as he gave the juice on how much it would take for him to go down on a guy. Not much apparently. "I'm not gay, I'm a businessman." Not a really good one at that. Here is where any meaningful investor would question an entrepreneur's life choices.
Skits aside, the 20 year old Pete Davidson is one of the youngest comedians to be part of the show. The only other cast members to be featured at such a young age were Anthony Michael Hall at age 17, Eddie Murphy who came in at age 19 and Robert Downey Jr who came in at age 20.
According to a former schoolmate of Pete Davidson's dad, Pete's dad was always clowning around. He opines that the young star got his sense of humor from his dad. Pete's dad died while he was trying to rescue people from the Marriott World Trade Center Hotel. It is believed he was on the fifteenth floor when the entire building came down.
Pete Davidson, only early this month had tweeted, 'Can't believe it's been 13 years. Feels like it was just yesterday. Words can't express how much I miss you.'
