After what feels like 18 months of Pete Davidson Watch: Where in the World is Staten Island’s Finest?, the man, the myth, the walking embodiment of chaos himself has returned. Yes, Pete stepped outside—onto an actual red carpet, no less! Why? To support his pal John Mulaney’s new Broadway play, All In: Comedy About Love By Simon Rich. Spoiler alert: the love here is mostly bromantic.
The grand Pete-sighting went down Monday night (December 16) at New York City’s swanky Hudson Theatre, where John Mulaney and his comedic prowess are currently holding court. And while we didn’t get Pete in full tux-and-tails (I mean, it’s Pete—be serious), he was likely rocking his signature “I-didn’t-try-but-still-look-cooler-than-you” vibe.
Let’s not forget that Pete and John go way back. Their friendship has seen everything: rehab stints, tattoos (on Pete, not John—he remains perpetually inkless and “plain,” in his words), and accusations of some highly questionable witchcraft. You know, because when you put “the tattooed dude” and “the clean-cut guy with a pocket square” in the same room, it must be dark magic. Mulaney, ever the professional funnyman, poked fun at the theory in his 2023 Netflix special, saying: “We must be up to witchcraft!” Honestly? If that’s witchcraft, sign us up for a coven.
Just to make things even more bromantically heartwarming, Pete recently popped into SNL last month—also hosted by John. At this point, someone get them a buddy-comedy movie. Or a reality show. Keeping Up With Mulaney and Davidson has a nice ring to it.
For now, John is leading the comedic charge in All In until January 12, at which point Lin-Manuel Miranda (yes, the Hamilton guy) will jump in. So if you’re in NYC and you want laughs served with Broadway flair, snag those tickets before someone else’s aunt beats you to it.
As for Pete? Who knows where he’ll pop up next. But one thing’s for sure: when Davidson emerges, the red carpet and the internet will notice. Welcome back, Pete. We missed you.
