[9][10]


Davidson startete seine ersten Versuche in Stand-Up Comedy im Alter von 16 in einer Bowling Halle in Staten Island, wo eine Gruppe von Freunden die sein Talent erkannten, und ermutigten ihn auf die Bühne zu gehen.[11] Davidson, leidet an Morbus Crohn seitdem er 17 oder 18 ist, dies machte ihn für einige Zeit arbeitsunfähig. Er besuchte die St. Joseph by the Sea High School, dann die Tottenville High School bevor an die Xaverian High School in Brooklyn wechselte, dort machte er auch seinen Abschluss 2011. Seine Mutter arbeit immer noch als Schulkrankenschwester.

Sein erster Auftritt im Fernsehen war in der dritten Folge der MTV Serie Failosophy, welche am 28 Februar 2013 ausgestralt wurde. Ein Monat später erschien er in PDA and Moms, eine Episode der dritten Staffel von Guy Code, eine Reality TV Comedy Show von MTV2, er erschien auch in den drei darauf folgenden Episoden.Davidson's earliest onscreen appearance was in the third episode of the MTV comedy series Failosophy, which premiered February 28, 2013. The following month, he appeared in "PDA and Moms," a third-season episode of the MTV2 reality TV comedy series Guy Code, the first of four episodes in which he was featured.[2] That June, his first televised standup aired as part of a second-season episode of the Comedy Central program Gotham Comedy Live, which showcases standup comedians at the Gotham Comedy Club in New York City. The following month, he returned to MTV2 with an appearance on Nick Cannon Presents: Wild 'N Out, his first of six episode appearances on that show.

Davidson subsequently made standup appearances on Adam Devine's House Party, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Comedy Underground with Dave Attell, and guest-starred in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. In 2014, he acquired a role in a Fox comedy pilot, Sober Companion,[13] but it ultimately did not make it to series.[14]

Davidson joined the cast of Saturday Night Live with that show's 40th-season premiere, which debuted on September 27, 2014. At age 20, he was the first SNL cast member to be born in the 1990s, and one of the youngest cast members ever.[12][15] The first new addition to the cast that season,[4] Davidson was given a chance to audition for the show through regular Bill Hader, whom he had met while filming a small part in the 2015 Judd Apatow feature film comedy Trainwreck.[16] Hader subsequently told producer Lorne Michaels about him. His debut garnered positive critical notice,[16][17] with his most noted skits during the season including an Indiana Jones-style sketch in which he and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, after being pelted with poison darts, were forced to mutually suck poison out of each other's various body parts,[11][18] an endeavor that eventually found them entangled in the "69" position.[19] Another involved Davidson being shot in the chest with an arrow by Norman Reedus.[11]

In March 2015, Davidson was a roaster on the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber,[20] and his set was praised as one of the best of the show.[21] Among his bolder jokes was one at the expense of fellow roaster Snoop Dogg and host Kevin Hart, and their 2004 film Soul Plane. Davidson, whose firefighter father died during the September 11 attacks, called that film "the worst experience of my life involving a plane."[11]

In 2016, Davidson was on the Forbes 30 under 30 list.[22] Also in 2016, Davidson recorded his first stand-up special Pete Davidson: SMD. The Comedy Central special was filmed in New York City. He made an appearance on The Jim Gaffigan Show.Vorlage:Cn
