This weekend’s Saturday Night Live opened on a serious note, as the long-running NBC sketch comedy series is wont to do in the wake of real-life tragedy.
A December 2012 SNL, for example, opened with the New York City Children’s Chorus singing “Silent Night,” days after the Sandy Hook school shooting. Similarly, a February 2022 episode opened with the Ukrainian Chorus Dumka of New York singing “Prayer for Ukraine,” days after Russia attacked Kyiv.

Pete Davidson is opening up. During his virtual visit to Late Night with Seth Meyers, the Saturday Night Live star discussed the "cathartic" experience of writing his new film The King Of Staten Island, which is a semi-autobiographical story about Pete's life that follows his journey of dealing with the death of his father Scott Davidson, a first responder who was killed in the line of duty in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

At 24, Scott (Pete Davidson) is stuck in perpetual adolescence, living with his mother Margie (Marisa Tomei) in the Staten Island home where he grew up. Traumatized when his firefighter father was killed trying to rescue someone when Scott was seven, he has never recovered despite years of therapy and in fact, has built his persona around the trauma. His well-meaning, kind-hearted mother, an overworked ER nurse, has built her life around her son’s care, treating him as if he were a fragile patient. If fact, everyone seems to tip-toe around Scott as if he might break from his childhood trauma.
Scott himself embraces this view, dodging jobs and hanging out with high school pals Oscar (Ricky Velez), Igor (Moises Arias) and Richie (Lou Wilson), playing video games and smoking pot.

Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson, in his true demeanor, opted for some shocking humor to pay tribute to his late father, New York firefighter Scott Davidson, who was killed on 9/11. Davidson was just 7 years old when his father's unit went to the Marriott World Trade Center Hotel, which was destroyed when the Twin Towers collapsed. Despite the incredible tragedy, the comedian has been very vocal about losing his father in the past, mostly using comedy as a means of talking about it. For example, during Justin Bieber's Comedy Central Roast, he joked that he'd always regretted growing up without a dad…until he met the singer's father. Today was no different for Davidson, who shared...
