In addition to Aidy Bryant, Kate McKinnon, and Kyle Mooney, Pete Davidson is ready to leave the cast of Saturday Night Live after the season finale.

Although Davidson had previously stated that he was “ready to hang up the jersey”, none of the rumours were clear. The comedian joked that he got a full body test after Kanye spread the rumour about Davidson having AIDS because a “genius” had diagnosed him with the disease. However, in recent months, Davidson’s involvement could be seen as an unwanted distraction from the core values of SNL. Davidson has been in the news lately for his highly publicised feud with Kanye West which has taken many forms.

Kim Kardashian And Pete Davidson Could Be The Latest Celebs ... (Cinema Blend)

Australia might be seeing the likes of the next "It" celebrity couple: Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson.

Alas, there’s always something going on in the lives of the Kardashian-Jenners. Maybe a future season of the reality series sees Kim Kardashian jet down to the land of koalas and vegemite for Pete Davidson – if they’re still together by then. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were briefly at odds over her mention of the divorce whilst she was headlining Saturday Night Live in October. Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner and Scott Disick had their first-ever on-camera beef – which was surprising considering how Jenner had caught flak from fans for coming to his defense just an episode prior. However, Kim Kardashian will likely make "the land of the long weekend" live up to its name, if she goes with him at all.

Insider claims Pete Davidson is quitting SNL (The List)

As Season 47 of "Saturday Night Live" ends, rumors are circulating that major cast members may be leaving, including Pete Davidson.

"I'm ready to hang up the jersey." "It's a cutthroat f***ing show," the comedian added. They don't give a f***, at the end of the day." As for Davidson's co-stars and the "SNL" crew, it's a little more complicated. In a 2020 interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Davidson revealed that he has spoken to a lot of people at the show about leaving. If this really happens, the group will be following in the footsteps of former cast members Beck Bennett and Lauren Holt, who left the show last summer (via Deadline). NBC and "SNL" producers have yet to confirm whether Davidson, Bryant, McKinnon, and Mooney are actually leaving.

'Saturday Night Live's' May 21 season finale reportedly marks the departure of several cast members.

Naturally, “SNL” used the occasion to have some Stefon fun. When Howard Stern brought it up in a 2021 interview, Wiig said she still has “chills” thinking about that scene. “It was one of the best moments in my life,” she said. Perhaps the most touching “SNL” farewell was when Kristen Wiig left in 2012. Stefon also got to remind viewers about some of his favorite New York City nightspots, including that place featuring the “human Magic 8 ball.” When Will Ferrell left in 2002, his castmates appeared in a sketch that began by them singing his praises.

SNL's Pete Davidson Confirms Exit Ahead of Season 47 Finale (TVLine)

'SNL': Pete Davidson has confirmed his exit from the late-night sketch series in a heartfelt Instagram post — read his statement.

One of the youngest cast members in the show’s history (he was just 20 when he debuted), he became known for his “Weekend Update” appearances and digital shorts. Thank you for teaching me life values, how to grow up and for giving me memories that will last a lifetime. I appreciate you guys always having my back and sticking up for me even when that wasn’t the popular opinion. When I got the show I was 20 years old and I had no idea what I was doing. I knew I could never keep up or go toe-to-toe with a Kenan Thompson or a Kate McKinnon, so I was super scared at figuring out what I could possibly bring to or do for such a historic, respected show and platform. I got to share so much with this audience and literally grow up in front of your eyes.
