Pete Davidson can understand why people are hesitant to shed their masks even after getting the COVID vaccine, especially because he was already worried about getting a different virus: AIDS.
In Davidson’s latest overshare on the season finale of “Saturday Night Live,” the comic went on to compare the long-running comedy show to the deadly virus.
“Hey, AIDS is a lot like ‘SNL,’” Davidson told Colin Jost during the show’s “Weekend Update” segment. “It’s still here, it’s just, no one’s gotten excited about it since the ’90s.”
According to Davidson, that joke was written by “SNL” showrunner Lorne Michaels himself.
