It looks like Pete Davidson has always been on Kim Kardashian‘s radar. She reveals that she talked to the comedian before her Saturday Night Live debut.

In the premiere episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian agrees to host SNL and decides to text Pete Davidson about the gig. They bonded at the Met Gala in 2021.

“I ran into Pete Davidson at the Met, and I was like, ‘I am so scared. I don’t know what I signed up for,'” she recalls their chat. “And he’s like, ‘Can you read cue cards? You’re good. You’re good.'”

Kardashian hosted SNL on October 9. In her many skits, one of them she played Davidson’s love interest for the story Aladdin. The skit included a make-out and what seemed to be the beginning of their romantic relationship. Fast forward to February 2022, Davidson, 28, gifted Kardashian, 41, the Aladdin costumes and magic carpet from SNL.
