The newest cast member for Saturday Night Live is 20-year-old Pete Davidson. We don’t normally do entertainment news at STATter911.com but it turns out Pete Davidson is the son of FDNY Firefighter Scott Davidson who was killed in the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The video above is an appearance by Pete Davidson on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Only a few days after the announcement that Michael Che would be taking over Cecily Strong’s spot on “Weekend Update,” NBC has confirmed to Vulture that New York comedian Pete Davidson is the second new cast hire of the summer. Before this, Davidson, who was named one of Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch this past July, is best known for appearing on MTV’s Guy Code and Wild ’n Out. At 20 years old (yes, 20), Davidson will be one of the youngest cast members ever, following Anthony Michael Hall (17) and Eddie Murphy (19). Davidson started doing comedy at 16 as a way to help him deal with the loss of his father, who was a firefighter who died on 9/11.
