Pete Davidson's Lorne Snub: Morgan Neville Explains

0:00On April 18th, filmmaker Morgan Neville dropped some real talk on why Pete Davidson didn't show up in his new Doc Lauren, all about Saturday Night Live, creator, Lauren Michaels. Neville packed the film with heavy hitters like Tina Fey, Chris Rock, Jimmy Fallon, Conan O'Brien, Maya Rudolph, and Andy Sandberg keeping the spotlight tight on Michaels himself. He explained that after chatting with folks like John Mulaney, the movie just felt complete. No room for more voices. Plus, Davidson was deep into kicking off his own documentary project back then. Davidson is opened up before about his rocky start on SNL. After his first year, he straight up asked Michaels to fire him, feeling out of place around all that talent, and like nobody wanted to vibe with him. Michaels hit him with some wisdom, saying most cast members struggle early on and it takes three or four years to find your groove. That pep talk kept Davidson around for eight full seasons. Lauren is out in theaters right now, giving fans a deep dive into the man behind the sketches.
