Saturday Night Live season 49 premiere: Pete Davidson returns with the same old jokes

The prodigal son has returned: Pete Davidson, erstwhile “Weekend Update” wunderkind/prolific seducer of Hollywood’s most famous women, is back. The Bupkis star—who, as the first cast member born in the 1990s, was relegated to being the show’s “resident young person” during his tenure—departed Saturday Night Live in May 2022 after eight seasons.

Nor was it a surprise to see Davidson take on Ryan Gosling’s instantly iconic “I’m Just Ken” power ballad and retool it with his usual self-deprecating snark. However, that expectation didn’t make it any less enjoyable to see the comedy star gamely croon about his “butthole eyes” and bipolar disorder.
