Pete Davidson feels he's outgrown SNL, but he'll stay as long Lorne Michaels "likes me"

Entertainment Weekly

In a new interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Davidson said he feels he's "just fodder now" on Saturday Night Live. "Maybe I shouldn't be there?" he said, adding: “They think I’m f*cking dumb. I’m literally painted out to be this big dumb idiot.” “So you’ve outgrown it?” Charlamagne asked him. “Yeah, I think everybody outgrows it,” Davidson replied. But Davidson says he'll continue on the show as long as he doesn't wear out his welcome, saying he's “happy to be there as long as Lorne likes me.” Davidson added: “For what I can do on the show, which is just barely anything — and it’s just 'Weekend Update.' I feel like I’ve done 30 of those and I just feel like, yeah, I’ve done as much as I can over there."
