For Davidson, the pandemic also forced him into some significant reflection. “I was at a really different place a year or two ago and I’m not exactly proud of how I handled or was handling things a few years ago,” he admitted. “Looking back on it, you’re like, ‘Ahh, come on, dude,’ but luckily, a pandemic happened and I got kicked in the balls and had to sit with all of my immature, irrational decisions.”
While he didn’t elaborate further on the decisions he was referencing, back in February 2020 just before the pandemic took hold of the United States, Davidson did express some discontent with the show that turned him into a star.
“Here’s the thing: I personally think I should be done with that show because they make fun of me on it,” he told Charlamagne Tha God in a sit-down interview. “I’m cold-open political punchlines. I’m Weekend Update jokes. When I’m not there, they’ll be like, ‘Hahaha, but Pete’s a f–king jerkface.’ And you’re like, ‘Whose side are you on?’ I have a weird feeling in that building where I don’t know whose team they’re playing for really—if I’m the joke or I’m in on the joke. I really wanted last year to be my last year, but I’m still around and trying to knock it away.”
