Pete Davidson might have become famous for his high-profile romances these days. But back then, he was just a goofy up-and-coming featured player of SNL. The comedian has earned a reputation as one of the best cast members because of his impeccable presence in the show. From channeling his inner rapper for tributes to making people laugh during quarantine, he has given much to fans during his tenure on the show. He recently returned again to share a heartwarming message regarding Israel and Gaza while talking about the importance of comedy in tragedies.

Pete Davidson hosted the Season 49 premiere of Saturday Night Live on Sunday. The official page of the show dropped the video of his opening monologue on social media. Instead of skit, this time the 29-year-old addressed the terrifying images and stories people have watched about Israel and Gaza. “And I know what you’re thinking, Who better to comment on it than Pete Davidson?” he said.

The American star stated he can relate to these things because he lost his father at age 7 during a terrorist attack. He continued he has seen many pictures of kids suffering due to the ongoing war. It shook him inside out and made him recall the difficult phase of his life. Davidson emphasized that no one in the world deserves to go through such dreadful things, especially kids. The Suicide Squad star further dwelled back on his childhood after his father passed away.

The former SNL member revealed he almost forgot how to smile or laugh and his mom tried hard to make him happy. However, one day when he watched the Eddie Murphy stand-up special Delirious that laughter came back. So comedy became his escape in the moments of tragedy and he felt it could help others too. Seeing this clip of the actor, fans are showering love on him over the internet.
