Pete Davidson delivers a heartfelt address about the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict on “Saturday Night Live.”
As the host of the show’s first episode since the writers’ strike, Davidson acknowledges the disturbing images and stories of innocent civilians affected by the crisis in Israel and Gaza.
To provide some context, Davidson shares his own personal tragedy of losing his father in the 9/11 terrorist attacks when he was just 7 years old.
Despite the loss, Davidson reveals that comedy became his source of joy and healing.
He recounts a moment when his mom bought him what she thought was a Disney movie, but turned out to be Eddie Murphy’s standup special “Delirious.” Despite his mom’s initial attempt to take it away, Davidson found himself laughing for the first time in a long time.
Davidson emphasizes the power of comedy in the face of tragedy and expresses solidarity with those affected by the attacks in Israel and Gaza.
He concludes by saying that he will continue to use comedy as a way to bring some lightness, but acknowledges the complexity of the situation and the need for sensitivity.
