"[Pete Davidson is] an incredibly sweet guy. He's so personable. He's got such a charisma. He's funny, he's really funny. I get the sense that he's a guy who really loves to work, who cares about his work. And that's how he's going to be known. He's got a lot of great work ahead of him too. He's really funny on the show too. To be able to go on [Saturday Night Live's] 'Weekend Update' and do what he does… He's doing him, right. It's not that easy to be that funny and interesting and likable. … He's taking his life and turning it into material… He has a real charm about him." —Ben Stiller to radio host Howard Stern in 2022
