Pete Davidson Probably Won’t Make Any Jokes About Kim Kardashian When He Hosts “Saturday Night Live” Next Week
Though one of the highlights of Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s chaotically eventful 9-month relationship was the two of them roasting her enormous ass and his pimply, neon white one (I’m assuming) as they humped in front of a fireplace in tribute to Kim’s beloved, freaky (and still alive) grandma, it looks like Pete won’t be roasting Kim when he returns to Saturday Night Live to host next week.
Kim and Pete’s ill-fated relationship began after she hosted and they kissed during that Aladdin sketch back in October 2021, so Pete making jokes about the highly-publicized mess (and tattoos) that followed would be an easy-gimme and a full-circle moment. But, a source told Page Six he doesn’t plan to take advantage of that opportunity.
A source tells Page Six that while Davidson is expected to be “a good sport” about quips about his high-profile love life, he wants to steer clear of Kardashian.
“He’s being a gentleman,” says the source.
We’re told that when the couple — who were first romantically linked in October 2021 — split in August 2022 after nine months of dating, they agreed to just “drop everything” and “move on.”
That “source” sounds like a thuggish Kris Jenner sending a thinly-veiled threat that Pete better keep Kim’s name out his fuckin mouth! But, he also might be avoiding the whole thing because he doesn’t want to again kick up all of the trauma he sought help for while being with her–such as her psychotic ex-husband, Kanye West, killing a claymation version of him in a music video; having to strain to assist Kim in peeling off the Marilyn dress without ripping it in two; and/or probably having to sit through and pretend to enjoy kommon Kar-Jenner konversations like Kourtney Kardashian slow-explaining her genius business plan for stank cooch-gummies.
Meanwhile, their romance became decidedly not funny after her ex-husband, Kanye West repeatedly attacked the “King of Staten Island” star on social media, going so far as to release a video for his track “Eazy” that had him kidnapping and burying a cartoon version of Davidson.
West also rapped about “beating Pete Davidson’s ass” and posted a fake New York Times front page with a headline that read, “SKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT AGE 28.” (“Skete” was the disgraced rapper’s sobriquet for Davidson).
Davidson, who has been open about his issues with mental health, reportedly sought “trauma therapy” following West’s attacks with an insider telling People, “The attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics is a trigger for [Pete], and he’s had to seek out help.’
The source added of the comic’s plans for the show, “[He’s respecting the fact] her team is so protective of her image and it was so volatile from Kanye’s side.”
However, that doesn’t mean that other SNL cast members won’t take the opportunity to make Pete feel like a “loser” again.
But another source said they wouldn’t be surprised that, when it comes to show time, a Kardashians gag or two made it in.
“Nothing has been written yet, but know with Pete nothing is off the table,” says another source.
Keeping in mind that Pete also met his ex-fiancée Ariana Grande when she hosted this show, it’s anyone’s guess who he’ll end up bedding next when he makes his return (current girlfriend du jour aside). The musical guest is Lil Uzi Vert, so no dice there. So vagina-having audience members and NBC gift shop employees: gird your loins. Pete’s average dick energy is apparently a helluva drug!
