Pete Davidson Addresses Ariana Grande Breakup on 'SNL'

Pete Davidson opened up about his split from fiancee Ariana Grande on Saturday (November 3) during his first episode back on Saturday Night Live following the breakup.

The 24-year-old comedian appeared on Weekend Update and first addressed the breakup by talking about moving back in with his mom after having to move out of Ari‘s apartment.

“So the midterm elections are obviously a huge deal and after I had to move back in with my mom, I started paying attention to them and I realized there are some really gross people running for office this year, so here are my first impressions,” Pete said.

Pete then showed photos of some men running for office this year and made fun of their appearances.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not insane, I know I shouldn’t be making fun of how anyone looks,” Pete later said before his own picture was put on the screen. He joked, “I look like I make vape juice in a bathtub. I look like a Dr. Seuss character went to prison.”

“And the last thing I’ll say, I know some of you are curious about the breakup, but the truth is, it’s nobody’s business,” Pete said. “Sometimes things just don’t work out and that’s okay. She’s a wonderful, strong person and I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world. Now, please go vote on Tuesday.”

Before signing off, Pete said, “I’m still a great song though!”

Ariana dropped her new song “thank u, next” right before SNL aired and she addresses all of her ex-boyfriends in the track.
