Pete Davidson is revealing he previously let his imposter syndrome get the best of him.
The comedian who performs stand-up comedy once requested his ex-boss, Lorne Michaels, to let him go from Saturday Night Live. In an initial interview for a meeting, he asked, “Could you please terminate my contract?” as quoted in the debut episode of the documentary series SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night, which celebrates SNL’s 50th season and shares untold stories.
He went on saying, “I felt out of place, thinking, ‘Everyone around me is incredibly skilled, and none of them seem interested in being friends with me.’
Instead, Michael chose not to dismiss Davidson and instead motivated him to continue. He told Davidson that it’s typical to truly understand things during the third or fourth year on the job.
Timothee Chalamet, who became famous from “Big Time Adolescence”, initially joined the sketch comedy series back in 2014 at the tender age of 20. He held a significant role within the show for a span of eight seasons until he publicly declared his departure in the year 2022.
Upon leaving, he posted a farewell note on Dave Sirus’ Instagram, who is also a writer for SNL. In this message, he expressed gratitude towards his fellow cast members for their support and acknowledged Michael for having faith in him.
I owe a debt of gratitude to Lorne Michaels and the entire SNL team for they’ve essentially shaped my life. I am incredibly thankful and can’t imagine where I’d be without them. They’ve consistently stood by me, even when it wasn’t the common choice, and I truly appreciate that support.”
“I want to express my gratitude for always having faith in me and standing by my side, even when the situation seemed amusing. Thank you for instilling life lessons, helping me mature, and creating memories I’ll cherish forever. SNL is more than just a workplace; it’s my home.
All four SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night episodes are currently streaming on Peacock.
