SNL Jokes About Personal Life Made Pete Davidson Feel Like A "Loser"

Pete Davidson explained on the Real Ones with Jon Bernthal podcast how SNL jokes made about his life made him feel like a "f***ing loser."


With only a few hours to go until Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary) & musical guest Lil Yachty take the stages of Studio 8H for tonight's episode of NBC's Saturday Night Live, we're getting a chance to check in with recent SNL alum Pete Davidson (Peacock's Bupkis) as he shares his thoughts on what it was like being a cast member while also be the subject of some of the show's jokes based on news accounts of his personal life. "When it's your own show, and I'll be sitting in the back watching the cold open and topical political humor or whatever in the culture, and they're making fun of you, and you gotta walk out and do a sketch next and hit your mark [and] the show just made fun of you, so why [is the audience] going to laugh at you? They just dogged you," Davidson shared with Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead, The Punisher) on the Real Ones With Jon Bernthal podcast. "And you're like, 'I'm a f***ing loser, man.," Davidson added.

Saturday Night Live: A Week with Quinta Brunson & Lil Yachty

Not only do we have Brunson & Lil Yachty's on-stage promo ahead of this weekend's edition of NBC's Saturday Night Live, but we have one that comes with a "first." In this case, it's SNL cast member Sarah Sherman's first SNL promo – and it's really starting to show. Following that, Sherman has an April-themed revelation that could end up keeping her away from the show for a very long time. Finally, Sherman sharing how much she's enjoyed working with Brunson all week turns into a moment where real life & screen life get a bit blurred.
