Pete Davidson Transcends His Tabloid Persona in New Netflix Special
When Ricky Gervais wanted to talk about participating in Make-A-Wish for his Netflix special Armageddon, he couldn’t help himself but share his most wicked impulse to chew out dying kids by sending them videos asking: “Why didn’t you wish to get better? What, are you fucking retarded as well?”
But when Pete Davidson jokes about helping Make-A-Wish in his new Netflix special out today, Turbo Fonzarelli, his own horrible thoughts turn inward, insisting that “by the way, not getting a lot of offers.” He adds, “Believe it or not, it’s not a lot of people’s dying wish to meet me. It’s usually their wish for me to die, actually.”
The roasting, or rather the self-immolation, continues as Davidson remarks he’d visit dying kids because, “yeah, I just drove into a house, I could use good press.” He tags a bit about how only pedophiles would want to spend three hours with kids who aren’t dying by casually admitting, “I was molested so I can make those jokes.” And then he suggests he could tell a Make-A-Wish kid all of his secrets because they wouldn’t have the time to blab to The Daily Mail like he suspects one of his actual therapists did.
