[quote=Anonymous]When the material is funny, he's funny doing that material, but I get zero sense he can disappear into sketch characters like several other SNL cast members (and like many cast members from the past). I always get a sense that I am seeing Pete Davidson saying lines as Pete Davidson, no matter what character he's supposed to be playing. He also always, always seems--to me, so this is IMHO--to be teetering on the verge of cracking up. That's fine in live TV at times (and was a huge part of what made Bill Hader's "Stefon" so hilarious), but I just always have that feeling he's so very tickled [i]with himself[/i]. Pros shouldn't give me that vibe every single time, I think.

I also think a lot of people on these forums give him a pass on his performances due to his legitimately sad personal backstory. While he has definitely had a lot to deal with, and has been successful, so someone likes his work...I don't think that should give him or any performer a special pass to keep working if they're not especially versatile or interesting. Not a personal diss, just never saw enough sketch comedy chops there to understand why SNL keeps him.  [/quote]
