Earlier this week, Pete Davidson said that he “doesn’t understand” the controversy surrounding Musk‘s upcoming appearance on “SNL”.
“We didn’t discuss it at all because we’re all just like … I just don’t understand why this is the dude everyone’s so freaked out about,” said the comedian, while appearing on “The Breakfast Club” on Thursday, May 6.
“I was like, ‘What did he do? He’s just like, a really wealthy businessman that makes, like, nerd s**t’ I don’t know. He’s really nice. I’m excited.”
Asked if other cast members were upset about Musk’s appearance, Davison replied, “Nobody that I f**k with.”
He continued, “Everybody’s kind of been like, ‘Yo, who’s the guy that’s so pissed off?’ ‘Cause we’re on a group text, so we’re all just like, ‘I don’t know. So, yeah, we’re all excited and really don’t understand the controversy.”
Co-host Bowen Yang previously shared a frowning face on his Instagram Story after Musk’s hosting debut was first announced.
“Saturday Night Live”, airs at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30 p.m. PT on Global.
