I cannot give that a like, even to show that I read it.

Some of the language is questionable but... He’s 100% correct and your attempt to say he’s an asshole actually made me like him more.
Huh. I thought the “Well... Bye.” meme was pretty well known by now.
<<“It’s a big cast; there’s a lot of new guys in there, and there’s a lot of great new talent that it’s their time to shine,” Davidson said.>>
“Pete Davidson is a saint” is the hill you want to die on”
I don’t think he’s that talented but I’m afraid to be too critical because Michael Che will say something about my mother
Not to say Pete’s on that level or ever going to be but it took George Clooney a really long time to be George Clooney.
Also, due to the fact that it’s audience hasn’t contracted as much as most broadcast to shows, SNL is now one of the highest rated shows on television.
He gets a lot of shout-outs (on Deuxmoi) for being an actually-nice celebrity that treats fans like human beings, poses for photos, etc. I don’t find him particularly funny, but I’d give him a pass for being a nice guy.
We want Cecily back! I need my Pirro Parodies!
Well, it has gone that route before. There was the year that the cast included Billy Crystal and Martin Short, who were already established stars. And the year after that, they went with Randy Quaid, Robert Downey, jr and Anthony Michael Hall, who had all been in some fairly big movies at that point. Quaid had even…
The best you’ve got is that he didn’t like people being rude during a comedy show from two years ago?
REALLY?
I honestly liked his Weekend Update segments, which was typically just five minutes of him riffing on the show and himself.
The Chad skits? Not so much.
This is what everybody says all the time but I’m thinking SNL might be a better show if they doubled down on older, experienced performers and tried to actually be good. It doesn’t have to be a cast of 25 year olds fresh out of UCB or Second City classes, it’s already completely out of touch with anything Gen Z cares…
I can’t say I have anything particularly against the guy - I’ve never been a fan of wasting my energy hating things that aren’t actively problematic - but I also really, really don’t get why he’s as big as he is. He’s like this generation’s Shia Lebeouf - like, he’s not wholly without talent, but he keeps getting cast…
Aidy’s show was cancelled after this last season but I think the point stands. She got 3 seasons of a tv show that she co-created and starred in.
Pete Davidson hasn’t been sure he’s on SNL for a while now.
My unified theory of Davidson has always been this: the dude is an alright actor, a very good standup, and a lousy sketch comedian. I like his jokes, I think he can effectively convey emotion, but he isn’t good at like, characters or impressions or anything like that. Always made him a weird fit for SNL, but I like…
