Pete Davidson Is Leaving ‘Saturday Night Live’

Pete Davidson is leaving Saturday Night Live after this season’s end; the season finale is tomorrow night, featuring Russian Doll‘s Natasha Lyonne as host and musical guest Japanese Breakfast.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the comedian has been a staple for the past eight seasons after joining the show as one of the youngest-ever cast members at the age of 20. Davidson will now star in a new Peacock comedy, Bupkis which is inspired by his life and will be executive produced by Michaels.

SNL has always cycled through its top talent during its 47 seasons as many of its breakout stars moved on to other projects. In recent years, Michaels has shown an increased willingness to allow time away from the sketch comedy for his in-demand stars to do other projects — many of which he also produces.

The status of fellow SNL stars Kate McKinnon, Kenan Thompson, Cecily Strong and Aidy Bryant have all been under watch, but it is unclear if any will follow Davidson’s leave.

2022 Met Gala: Ranking Best and Worst Looks

• 91. Jordan Roth

  Share

  The theater producer really brought the drama with this horrifying look. From head to toe, Jordan Roth made sure every aspect of his ensemble would terrify the masses.

• 90. Jessie Buckley

  Share

  Well, uh, this is one way to get noticed at the Met. Actress Jessie Buckley sported a comically-drawn mustache to pull her look together.

• 89. Amy Schumer

  Share

  Amy Schumer looks like a hungover sleuth with her trench coat dress and black shades.
• 88. Charles Wintour Shaffer and Elizabeth Cordry Shaffe

  Share

  Anna Wintour's daughter-in-law showed up looking very basic, trying to make a gown decorated with bows work... which it - sadly - didn't.

• 87. Autumn de Wilde

  Share

  Autumn de Wilde is very much giving Mary Poppins vibes with this sparkling Supernanny-looking dress and bow.

• 86. Awkwafina

  Share

  Not only does this coral color wash Awkwafina out, but the cut of the gown does not flatter her in the slightest.
• 85. Ashley Park

  Share

  We are not loving this combination of the bubble gum pink and dark feathers combo the 'Emily In Paris' actress wore to the event.

• 84. Sarah Jessica Parker

  Share

  SJP mixed the Queen of Hearts with punk in this very busy ensemble and we've got to say, we don't like this mess.

• 83. Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker

  Share

  Kourtney's ensemble is just plain ugly in so many ways. The loose cuffs on her cropped white dress shirt completely swallow her figure up top, while her clashing cream skirt looks like shapewear that wasn't supposed to be seen.
• 82. La La Anthony

  Share

  The host is beautiful, but the ensemble is chaotic. The cutouts take away from what would have been a gorgeous gown.

• 81. Franklin Leonard

  Share

  The film executive's hip area is quite... eye-catching. His ensemble is weirdly entrancing and we can't tell if we hate it or love it.

• 80. Denée Benton

  Share

  The gorgeous actress wore a clashing red and pink gown at the event, which would have stunned had she stuck with one color.
• 79. Evan Mock

  Share

  Evan Mock is giving us 'Bridgerton' meets Manhattan in this pastel yellow number.

• 78. Shawn Mendes

  Share

  Shawn Mendes evoked his inner Gaston from 'Beauty and the Beast' with this Tommy Hilfiger pea coat.

• 77. Chloë Grace Moretz

  Share

  If it weren't for her showing some midriff, Chloë Grace Moretz could easily be mistaken for a senior citizen with her jacket and trousers.
• 76. Stromae

  Share

  Though we love the plaid cape addition to his suit, Stromae's choice of hairstyle doesn't match the aesthetic.

• 75. Janicza Bravo

  Share

  The 'Zola' director is edgy in an unconventional suit paired with golden details.

• 74. Julianne Moore

  Share

  Julianne Moore's classic white ensemble is taken to a higher level with her voluminous hairdo.
• 73. Phoebe Bridgers

  Share

  Phoebe Bridgers kept it simple with a body-hugging shimmering dress and a dark, bold lip.

• 72. Priscilla Presley

  Share

  Priscilla Presley looks like rockstar royalty in this simple satin gown.

• 71. Austin Butler

  Share

  With a face like that, Austin Butler could be wearing nothing but an adult diaper and we'd be drooling.
• 70. Fredrik Robertsson

  Share

  Along with everyone else, we thought self-proclaimed fashion addict Fredrik Robertsson was Jared Leto! His look reminds us of a biblically accurate depiction of an angel, and we are both terrified and mesmerized.

• 69. Elon Musk

  Share

  The new owner of Twitter had fun with the photographers at the Met Gala. He gets extra points because we don't want him messing with our algorithm.

• 68. Future

  Share

  Future wore dress shorts and a very elaborate face mask, and it somehow works! We're loving the leg tattoos being shown off.
• 67. Cole Sprouse

  Share

  Hollywood's Tin Man, Cole Sprouse wore head to toe silver, down to his shoes.

• 66. Camila Mendes

  Share

  The 'Riverdale' actress mixed Old Hollywood with new age in this gorgeous golden gown.

• 65. Ansel Elgort

  Share

  The actor looks like he will be mistaken for the help all night long. But if people are giving him their empty glasses, at least he looks crisp!
• 64. Vanessa Hudgens

  Share

  The host never fails to serve a look. Elegant and sexy in black mesh with intricate lace detailing, down to the hands.

• 63. Anderson .Paak

  Share

  It is always a joy to see what Anderson .Paak will wear. Though we wouldn't have paired that blue undershirt with his outfit, he makes it work with his charismatic personality.

• 62. Leslie Odom Jr.

  Share

  We are loving Leslie Odom Jr.'s headpiece and cropped tux.
• 61. Paapa Essiedu

  Share

  We love when a man wears a suit that is unexpected and the actor's wide-leg velvet trousers are so chic!

• 60. Harris Dickinson

  Share

  The actor's pants crotch is incredibly long, but somehow works with his entire look! Cheers to trying something very different and executing it well.

• 59. Kaia Gerber

  Share

  Being a model and daughter of the legendary Cindy Crawford really gives you a leg up, but Kaia's wild curls and intricately cutout gown are undeniably stunning.
• 58. Adrien Brody and Georgina Chapman

  Share

  We love a stunning couple at the Met Gala. Adren looks dapper in his tux, while girlfriend and Havey Weinstein's ex-wife wore a beautiful red layered gown.

• 57. Nicki Minaj

  Share

  Nicki Minaj looks fantastic in leather pants and a feathered, skirted top.

• 56. Dakota Johnson

  Dakota Johnson's robe is very much, "I woke up like this and I'm still more fabulous than all of you."

• 50. Jack Harlow

  Share

  The rising rapper kept it dapper in an espresso satin suit.
• 49. David Harbour and Lily Allen

  Share

  We're loving David Harbour's cane and top hat, matching wife Lily Allen's feathery gown style.

• 48. Khloé Kardashian

  Share

  After a long hiatus from the red carpet, Khloé Kardashian rocked the Met Gala in a chic golden gown and billowing black gloves.

• 47. Laura Harrier

  Share

  The actress is breathtaking in pearls and gloves with her Old Hollywood gown.
• 46. Gemma Chan

  Share

  The photos do not do Gemma Chan's very elaborate ensemble justice. Because her dress fans out, she is giving a very one-dimensional effect as she moves.

• 45. Cara Delevingne

  Share

  Magician, but make it fashion.

• 44. Lenny Kravitz

  Share

  Lenny Kravitz always somehow looks like a pirate, but we love it nonetheless. The singer incorporated leather and lace, which many others have done at this year's event.
• 43. Kerry Washington

  Share

  Kerry Washington looks amazing in anything, and that's true here: the actress is absolutely stunning in this mesh gown.

• 42. Kylie Jenner

  Share

  Here comes the bride! Kylie Jenner wore an Off-white wedding dress with a white backwards ball cap under her veil.

• 41. Alessandro Michele and Jared Leto

  Share

  Double trouble! Jared Leto coordinated to twin with Italian fashion designer Alessandro Michele and it really is hard to tell the two apart!
• 40. Chloe Bailey

  Share

  Share

  Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys showed out for their city, with Swizz rocking his Yankees while Alicia wore the city on her sleeve -- literally.

• 35. Kodi Smit-McPhee

  Share

  Kodi Smit-McPhee paid homage to casual Fridays with a button-up shirt and denim, which are actually made of fine leather. His red opera gloves somehow elevate this seemingly casual look to a high fashion level.
• 34. Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian

  Share

  Showing up fashionably late, and we mean last, a blonde Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson look a bit mismatched at the Met. Kim evokes Old Hollywood glamor, while boyfriend Pete looks like security.

  Share

  The film producer looks so elegant in an all cream white gown, which perfectly accentuates her figure.

  Share

  Emma Stone stood out in a short white dress, with feather trim, looking so edgy and simple.

• 29. Blake Lively

  Share

  Co-chair Blake Lively's gown in its first form is bronze, but after it "oxidizes" like the Statue of Liberty, Blake's gown evolves into a beautiful teal hue. Her commitment and attention to detail is the Virgo in her.
• 28. Michelle Yeoh

  Share

  Michelle Yeoh looks like an elegant vision in this green off-the-shoulder showstopper!
