Pete Davidson is leaving “Saturday Night Live,” a source close to the comedian tells USA TODAY.
The comedian, 28, has been a cast member on the long-running NBC sketch show, which broadcasts live and features celebrity hosts, since 2014. “SNL” airs its Season 47 finale Saturday.
NBC declined to comment. Variety first reported the news.
Though Davidson is credited as a main cast member, he hasn’t appeared on the show in recent weeks, prompting speculation of his imminent exit.
In a clip released May 6 from his standup set during the Netflix is A Joke comedy festival, Davidson joked about the “really weird year” he’s had. The comedian was thrust further into the spotlight late last year after he began dating Kim Kardashian, newly single after splitting from her husband of almost seven years, rapper Ye – formerly known as Kanye West.
“People try to give you advice, but even friends that are older, they’re like ‘I don’t know. It looks pretty bad, bro. Sorry, good luck. (We’re) here if you need, but like, no advice,'” Davidson said. “No one was like, ‘this is what you do.’ Everyone’s like, ‘oh, yeah. You staying with your mom? You in a safe spot?'”
Late last month, Davidson and Kardashian made their red carpet debut together at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., just two days before all eyes were on them at the Met Gala in New York City.
According to IMDb, other projects Davidson has coming up include the film “Meet Cute,” which also stars Kaley Cuoco; “The Home, which is a horror-thriller; and “Wizards!” which also stars Naomi Scott.
He’s also starring, writing and producing a half-hour live-action comedy for Peacock called “Bupkis” about “a heightened, fictionalized version” of his real life.
