Pete Davidson found the SNL50 audience to be a big time letdown.
The comedian was one of the many alums who returned to Saturday Night Live for its 50th anniversary special back in February, and he isn’t holding back when it comes to sharing his opinion of the star-studded audience for the live taping.
“As you know from SNL40—terrible audience,” Pete told Seth Meyers on Late Night With Seth Meyers August 7. “It’s a terrible audience ’cause it’s just famous people, and famous people only like themselves.”
As the audience at Seth’s show started to laugh, Pete doubled down on his claim, maintaining, “It’s true! I’m guilty of this!”
Indeed, Seth made fun of Pete for being “the only one laughing” in the audience while watching a pre-taped sketch that he appeared in during the special, which the King of Staten Island actor confirmed.
But while in general Pete was underwhelmed by the high-profile audience’s response to the show, one high part for him was being seated next to Meryl Streep.
