Article Summary

  • Netflix drops trailer for Pete Davidson's 'Turbo Fonzarelli,' debuting January 9, 2024.
  • 'SNL' alum stars in his second Netflix stand-up special, directed by Jason Orley.
  • The special follows Davidson's 2020 'Alive From New York' and a comedy showcase.
  • Davidson reflects on personal life in 'Barbie' spoof and SNL sketch 'I'm Just Pete.'

The final month of 2023 was a big one comedy-wise for Netflix – and that included the news that Saturday Night Live alum & Peacock's Bupkis star Pete Davidson (upcoming: The Home) would be launching his second stand-up special for the streaming service – with Turbo Fonzarelli set to hit Netflix on January 9, 2024. Well, it's the new year, and we are less than a week away from Davidson's special – so now seems as good of a time as any for a trailer. But while it may leave a lot to the imagination, we have to give bonus points to the narrator for asking aloud the question we've had since it was announced…

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. Here's a look at the official trailer for Turbo Fonzarelli – set to hit Netflix on January 9th (followed by a look back at Davidson's most recent SNL return):

Pete Davidson, Saturday Night Live & "I'm Just Pete"

Davidson & musical guest Ice Spice kicked off the 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:
