Pete Davidson delivers heartfelt goodbye to 'SNL,' makes fun of himself the entire time

Pete Davidson has had a wild ride. Pete Davidson was a babyfaced 20-year-old who laughed in sketches and became a celebrity.

The comic stopped by the Weekend Update desk on Saturday, in what was supposed to be his final appearance after the show announced he, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, and Kyle Mooney would all be leaving once the year is done.

While saying goodbye, Davidson did his typical self-deprecating schtick. He shared some of the wisdom passed down by the creator of SNL.

I will never forget this. I called him when I got engaged, and he said to hold on for dear life.

Davidson joked that he didn't know how he ended up on SNL.

He said that he should inspire hope.

The comic did close with a touching goodbye to the show, and there was a single reference to West.
