Why is Pete Davidson not invited to SNL?

Pete Davidson, once a fan-favorite on Saturday Night Live, is reportedly not welcome back anytime soon due to a feud with comedian Colin Jost. An insider revealed that their fallout has reached the show’s executives, creating tension that even Lorne Michaels, the show’s creator and producer, is aware of. While Davidson has previously hosted SNL, expectations for his return seem dim at the moment.

The source stated, “Pete and Colin’s falling out went all the way to the top, and Lorne has been made aware of the situation.” Despite having hosted SNL’s season premiere on October 14, 2023, speculation surrounds Davidson’s future with the show. He was initially set to host another episode on May 6, 2024, but that event was canceled due to a writers’ strike.

In addition to the professional fallout, Davidson’s struggles seem to have affected his relationships in Hollywood. Friends have noted his increasing distance, with reports suggesting that he has “vanished from his tight-knit circle.” Davidson recently completed a brief stay in rehab, and his mother has been trying to help him, but sources say there has been “no growth or update” since his return.

The dynamics between Davidson and Jost have been complicated by their joint business investment in a ferry, which they planned to transform into a floating entertainment venue. However, tensions regarding their partnership appear to be lingering, further complicating their relationship.

While he has made significant contributions to comedy and television, his struggles with mental health and personal relationships may have a lasting impact on his career. As fans eagerly await his next move, they may also wonder if Davidson can find a way to mend his professional relationships and reclaim his place in the entertainment world.
