His father, Scott Matthew Davidson, died during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks as a firefighter. He sometimes makes light of the situation in his comedy routines, especially the roasts.

He is the first SNL cast member to be born in the 1990s.

Named his comedy special "SMD" because it was his father's initials, but also because it has an obscene meaning.

His father was of mostly Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, with some German and Italian. His mother is of Irish descent. Pete was raised Catholic.

In the short time that they've been together, he has gotten 4 tattoos dedicated to Ariana Grande: her initials, her bunny ear logo, an inside joke they have, and their favorite song.

Yeah, look, when I'm doing stand up and stuff, nothing I ever say is coming from a hateful place. And you can't know what's funny until you try it, you know?

As some of you know, I was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, a form of depression. And depression is a disease that affects more than 16 million people in this country. And there is no like cure, per se. But like for anyone dealing with it there are treatments that can help. First of all, if you think you're depressed, see a doctor and talk to them about medication and also be healthy. Eating right and exercise can make a huge difference.

Once we start doing our research we're not going to have much left because it seems like all really talented people are sick. Pretending these people never existed is maybe not the solution. The rule should be...you could appreciate their work, but you only if you admit what they did.

I just tell people that I'm flawed because I am, and I don't want to pretend like I'm not. When you're honest about it, you just feel better as a person rather than like you're pretending to be someone else.

I think if you're able to be open, it's really good. It's reassuring when you hear someone that you admire talk about topics like that publicly, because it's an embarrassing thing sometimes. Crohn's is an embarrassing disease to have so it's not fun to talk about, but there are people out there that have it.
