The SNL Host used the cold open to deliver a solemn message
While Saturday Night Live's cold opens are traditionally reserved for major commentary on current headlines, typically roasting congress, the president , or something else in the news. This week's episode, the Saturday Night Live season 49 premiere and the first since the Writer's Strike was settled, was no different, as the ongoing conflict between.
"This week we saw the horrible images and stories from Israel and Gaza. And I know what you're thinking, Who better to comment on it than Pete Davidson? Well, in a lot of ways, I am a good person to talk about it because when I was seven years old, my dad was killed in a terrorist attack. So I know something about what that's like. I saw so many terrible pictures this week of children suffering, Israeli children and Palestinian children.
He continued,"You know, after my dad died, my mom tried pretty much everything she could do to cheer me up. I remember one day when I was eight. She got me what she thought was a Disney movie. But it was actually the Eddie Murphy stand up special Delirious. And we played it in the car on the way home and when she heard the things Eddie Murphy was saying, she tried to take it away. But then she noticed something. For the first time in a long time, I was laughing again.
