It looks like Saturday Night Live alum & Peacock's Bupkis star Pete Davidson (upcoming: The Home) has some things to get off his chest to start off the new year right – and Netflix is going to give him the stage & mic to do it. Earlier today, we learned that Davidson will be launching his second stand-up special for the streaming service – with Turbo Fonzarelli set to hit Netflix on January 9, 2024. Directed by Jason Orley and produced by Above Average, the hour-long special is executive-produced by Davidson & Alex Panagos for King For A Night and Above Average EPs Ally Engelberg & Marc Lieberman. The special is a follow-up to Davidson's 2020 special, Alive From New York – with the actor/comedian also backing the comedy showcase Pete Davidson: The Best Friends, featuring familiar names from comedy & music like Neko White, Dave Sirus, Jordan Rock, Carly Aquilino, Joey Gay, Giulio Gallarotti, Big Wet, and Machine Gun Kelly. While we await an official trailer or preview, here's a look at the official key art poster for Turbo Fonzarelli (followed by a look back at Davidson's recent SNL return).

Davidson & musical guest Ice Spice kicked off the current 49th season of SNL in a very big way – and a large part of that had to do with one of the best filmed sketches so far – Davidson's Barbie spoof/take, "I'm Just Pete." Davidson has never backed away from discussing his personal life – warts and all – in interviews, during his stand-up, and in SNL sketches. But by using Barbie as the springboard, Davidson left us with an impressive piece of self-analysis that had us rollercoastering with feelings. And the best part? Even if you're not willing to buy into the introspective aspects, "I'm Just Pete" works on a purely satirical level, too. Here's a look at the original sketch, followed by the cast & creative team discussing how it all came together:
