It's the end of an era. After eight years, Pete Davidson has said goodbye to "Saturday Night Live." The "King of Staten Island" star bid farewell to the series during the "Weekend Update" segment of the May 21 season finale, joking that executive producer Lorne Michaels "accidentally gifted me a sock, so I'm free."
Throughout the segment, Davidson nodded to his storied dating history while also squeezing in plenty of his trademark self-deprecating jokes. At the start, he joked with "Weekend Update" host Colin Jost about how even he's shocked by his success. "I never imagined this would be my life," he said. "Back then, I was just a skinny kid that no one knew which race I was. And now everyone knows I'm white because I became hugely successful while barely showing up to work. Look at me now, I'm aging like an old banana."
Davidson's farewell wasn't all jokes though.
