Pete Davidson
Pete Davidson is an American comedian, actor, writer, and producer. Born on November 16, 1993, in Staten Island, New York, he began his stand-up comedy career as a teenager. His early life was marked by tragedy, as his father, a New York City firefighter, died in the September 11 attacks when Davidson was just seven years old. This personal experience has often been a theme in his comedy, which is known for its self-deprecating and confessional style.Davidson's big break came in 2014 when he was hired as a cast member on NBC's long-running sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live (SNL), making him one of the youngest performers ever to join the show. He was a featured player from 2014 until he left the show in 2022. During his time on SNL, he became known for his "Weekend Update" segments and his collaborations with fellow cast members.Beyond his work on SNL, Davidson has a prolific career in film and television. He co-wrote and starred in the semi-autobiographical film The King of Staten Island (2020), which was directed by Judd Apatow. He has also appeared in a wide range of films, including The Suicide Squad (2021), Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022), Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023), and the upcoming films The Pickup (2025) and Dog Man (2025). On television, he created and starred in the series Bupkis (2023), a fictionalized version of his own life. Davidson has also released several stand-up specials, including Pete Davidson: Alive From New York (2020) and Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli (2024).
