Before hishigh-profile romancewithAriana Grande,Pete Davidsonhad made a name for himself onSaturday Night Live.
Davidson, 24, joined the cast of the NBC sketch comedy series as a featured player during the show’s 40th season premiere in September 2014. At 20, he was the first cast member to be born in the 1990s and one of the youngest cast members ever.
Here are some of Davidson’s funniest highlights from his 219 sketches during his four seasons onSNL:
NBC
Weekend Update
Davidson has become a frequent guest, joining Colin Jost and Michael Che at the Update desk with commentary from a “Resident Young Person.”
From talking abouthair lossto millennial points of views onbusinessand living with his mother, he has candidly shared his perspective much like his stand-up routines.
While many tap into sketch comedy characters for an Update cameo, Davidson is among the very few castmates, like Leslie Jones, who share their authentic views on topics discussed during the segment.
Chad
Recurring characters have become a rarity in the past couple seasons, but Davidson has brought back his monotone bro character for several episodes.
Known as the somehow irresistibly attractive male character with a deadpan delivery, Chad has already wooed bothBenedict Cumberbatch,Saoirse RonanandJulia Louis-Dreyfus.
And most recently, Davidson reprised his character for a sketch oppositeJessica Chastain, who played a doctor falling in love with Chad.
Many fans continue to ponder: What is it about Chad?
