Pete‘s absence comes just a few weeks after his controversial interview where he said he thinks his time at SNL is coming to an end.

Also during the interview, Pete said he finds himself to be the “punchline” of a lot of the jokes and claimed that the cast members call him things like “a f*cking jerkface” behind his back.

Pete however did appear in a number of last week’s (February 29) sketches and was still in the opening monologue this past weekend.

A few nights before the latest episode of SNL, Pete attended the premiere of his new movie Big Time Adolescence in New York City.
