There's absolutely no shortage of interest in Pete Davidson's complicated love life. For one, no matter what anyone says, the vast majority of people are bewildered by the level of success Pete is having among A-list women in Hollywood. There's no doubt that the Saturday Night Live star has become one of the biggest lotharios in Hollywood history. Even Pete claims to be shocked by it. Pete told radio legend, Howard Stern, as much during both appearances on his show. While Howard counts himself among the many who are utterly transfixed by Pete's record with beautiful, talented, and famous women, he thinks there may be a downside to it all.
During a January 5th, 2022 segment on The Howard Stern Show, the self-proclaimed King Of All Media joked that Pete's success is messing with his head. Of course, within the comedy, there was a lot of truth. In fact, Howard's observations of Pete's success with women may say a lot about the SNL star as well as how comedians work in general. Here's why Howard believes things are getting to Pete's head and how it's changing his career...
Howard Stern Thinks Pete Davidson Is In Shock By His Success With Women
The comments about Pete Davidson came up when Howard was discussing the alleged beef between Miley Cyrus and Pete's current flame, Kim Kardashian. The reality star unfollowed Miley after her performance with Pete on New Year's Eve. Fans have speculated that this is because Miley was "joking" about wanting to be Pete's next famous girlfriend.
"Miley was throwing herself at Pete Davidson," Howard said to his co-host Robin Quivers and his audience of Pete and Miley's New Year's Special. "I haven't spoken to Pete Davidson in a while but I am sure this guy is just pinching himself. He probably thinks he's dreaming. Because very publicly, you know, women are really fighting over him."
Howard then brought up Miley and Pete's appearance on The Tonight Show when she sang a song about why he picked Kim over her.
"I think he's shocked by all of this," Howard said.
Pete Davidson's Success With Women Has Changed His Career
During their discussion, Howard and Robin claimed that Pete's success with women has altered his comedy career in both positive and negative ways. Robin even claimed that all of this attention caused Pete to move back home with his mother for a while.
"I get that," Howard stated. "I don't know, if I was him, that I could handle this. These women are now fighting over him and it's probably a lot for him to juggle because I think, in a way, being a comedian, and being on Saturday Night Live, you kind of want to be a little bit downtrodden. And you don't want to be some stud."
"You want to be angry and missing things," Robin added.
Howard went on to say that Pete's whole thing seemed to be the guy who gets no respect and never gets laid. But in reality, that's far from the truth. Even since Ariana Grande started dating him, it's been a rotating ring of gorgeous and successful women knocking on his door. And now these women are even fighting over him.
On top of women going crazy for Pete, the world has too. Howard recalled that Pete even said that he was a "bit player" on SNL until women started dating him. Now he is one of the main players of the show and fans go crazy for him.
"It's got to be crazy. And, in fact, it's got to be f***ing with his head, honestly," Howard stated. "I mean, I'm happy for the dude if he can juggle it."
Howard then mentioned that he wonders if Pete is worried about being funny now that people see him in such a different light. He then picked up on what Robin said and claimed that Pete may have gone back to living in his mother's basement to attempt to feel downtrodden and reclaim what makes him funny. Because there's no doubt that his success with beautiful women is taking away from his hard done by image.
"I mean, just think of his resume... [Ariana Grande], Kate Beckinsale, Kaia Gerber, Kim Kardashian... Miley Cyrus can't even get in his pants," Howard said. "And I think Larry David's daughter who is hot was in on that too."
He went on to say," The only people who haven't been in his pants are The Queen, Robin, and Dr. Jill Biden... as far as I can tell. I would never introduce my wife to Pete Davidson."
