The Real Reason Pete Quit
Off to greener pastures? On May 21, Pete Davidson joined castmates Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant and Kyle Mooney in bidding adieu to Saturday Night Live. And according to a source, his girlfriend Kim Kardashian’s mom, Kris Jenner, played a significant role in the comedian’s decision to exit the show after eight seasons. “Kris is promising much bigger and lucrative roles in media and movies,” says the source, noting that the famed momager, 66, is eager to turn Davidson, 28 — who’s been dating Kardashian, 41, since October — into a major brand. “Kris wants to profit from being Pete’s manager, and he absolutely trusts anything Kim advises.”
