Pete Martell February 27, 2020 Share February 27, 2020 45 minutes ago, helenamonster said: Lmao for real? I've seen various cast members on Instagram do tribute posts to friends whose weddings they couldn't make because they fell on Saturdays they were taping. I always chalked it up as a sacrifice you have to make if you want to be on the show, but I guess not for Poor Precious Pete. I don't think there has ever been a cast member handled more delicately in all 45 years of SNL's existence than Pete. I get that there's a history of people going off the rails, and that Lorne doesn't want to see that happen again, but come on. Every single person who works there has bent over backwards to accommodate him. Cast members make fun of each other all the time: Kenan's been there too long, Alex and Mikey are indistinguishable, Kyle's stuff never gets on the air. If Pete is incapable of not taking it personally, and is not able to deal with the "cutthroat" nature of the show (what, is everybody just supposed to step aside on the off chance you deign to show up for an episode?) then, yeah, maybe he should go. I get he has problems, and I can sympathize with that to a point. But he appears to think his mental health status gives him unlimited free passes and carte blanche to be an insufferable douchebag. He has brought nothing to this show except his hot mess of a personal life. Aw man, imagine if he and Colin are gone for season 46? *chef's kiss* Yeah. It was Will Ferrell's last episode. https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/celebrity/kaia-gerber-brings-pete-davidson-as-her-wedding-date/ar-BBXgsTP It's a vicious cycle - he has struggles, makes headlines, makes comments, gets in the headlines, SNL has to do cleanup duty. They did again today, with John Mulaney devoting the promo to this: Overall I do like Pete, and there have been many stories of the show being rough backstage, but the way the cast and crew were thrown under the bus this way kind of puts me off. I think this episode would be the ideal time for him to leave, if Lorne will finally let it happen. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/16-snl-the-current-cast-discussion/page/19/#findComment-5965772

The awkwardness around not wanting to be negative about Betty was palpable, and understandable.
