This week's edition of Saturday Night Live Weekend Update served as a last week's episode. Pete Davidson followed up on his insult of newly-elected Congressman Dan Crenshaw by bringing the politician to a serious message.
Crenshaw, a Republican politician and military veteran who lost his eye in Afghanistan in 2012, had been targeted by Davidson as part of SNL'S midterms preview. Davidson mocked the politician's injury, saying he looked like a "hitman in a porn." Davidson had quickly added, "I'm sorry, I know he lost his eye in war or whatever." This week, in the wake of Crenshaw's election To represent Texas' 2nd Congressional District, Davidson was sincerely apologetic, saying, "In what I'm sure was a huge shock for people who know me, I made a bad choice last week."
Throughout the episode, SNL had been talking about the midterms in very apolitical terms, making jokes about Republican and Democratic supporters. Davidson continued that trajectory, describing the past week's outrage about his Crenshaw joke by saying, "The left and right finally agreed on something: That's a dick."
"You think?" Crenshaw said he suddenly entered the scene.
Davidson's "bad choice" line also appeared in his recent breakup with Ariana Grande singer, and it was not the last one. After Crenshaw accepted Davidson 's apology, he got a call on his cellphone – and the ringtone was not great that Great' s song "Breathin." Davidson, seemingly unprepared for the gag, laughed in response. The comedian then offered Crenshaw the chance to roast a picture of him to make up for his prior insult, and Crenshaw reluctantly accepted.
"This is Pete Davidson," Crenshaw said. "He looks like if the meth from breaking Bad was a person. "And then," he looks like a Troll doll with a tapeworm. "
It was not all fun and games, though. Since this week's episode of SNL Crenshaw visited viewers at Veteran's Day weekend. His main advice? If you see a veteran, tell them, "never forget."
"When you say 'never forget,' you're implying that you're in it, not separated by a barrier between civilians and veterans," Crenshaw said directly to the camera. "Never forget those we lost in war, and never forget those we lost on 9/11, like Pete's father." He and Davidson then each respectfully told each other, "Never forget."
