Pete Davidson returns to Saturday Night Live after one year for skit with John Mulaney
Pete Davidson made a memorable return to Saturday Night Live on November 2 when he appeared in a musical sketch with host John Mulaney.
The 30-year-old Staten Island native — whose exes got together for a pajama party — joined the 42-year-old former SNL writer for a scene about a person asking to buy milk at Port Authority Duane Reade.
Davidson, who was part of the SNL cast from 2014-2022, acted out the sketch with Andrew Dismukes before expanding it to include a full cast of various parodied showtunes.
The first recognizable song was a parody of Lion King’s Circle of Life as Kenan Thompson and Ego Nwodim sang about the milk.
Marcello Hernandez played a discouraged bottle of shampoo locked in a suitcase as he and Mulaney performed a Sound of Music parody.

Chappell Roan was the musical guest for Saturday’s episode.
Fans expressed excitement and shock when it was announced hours before the broadcast that Vice President Kamala Harris would make a cameo.
It comes two months after Roan faced criticism for refusing to endorse Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
In late September, Chappell doubled down on her previous comments about the election after facing backlash for not officially endorsing a candidate.
The singer turned to TikTok to clarify her position, reiterating that while she plans to vote for Kamala, she is not giving a formal endorsement because “there are huge issues on both sides.”
