Referring to co-stars Colin Jost and Michael Che, both 39, and Kim’s ex Kanye West, 44, Pete jokingly opened with: ‘Hello Colin and Che, and millions of people only watching to see if I bring up Kanye.’

While he didn’t mention Kim in his speech, he did reference his ex Ariana Grande, 28, who he got engaged to after two weeks in 2018.

Elsewhere, he joked about his race, saying people were confused about his ethnicity when he first joined the show eight years ago.

He said: ‘Now everyone knows I’m white because I became hugely successful while barely showing up for work.’

It comes after Pete officially confirmed he was leaving Saturday Night Live after seven seasons on the sketch show.

In a lengthy Instagram post shared by the funnyman’s friend Dave Sirus on Saturday, Pete stated that the 47th season finale show that evening would be his ‘last one’ as he thanked creator Lorne Michaels and the cast: ‘I owe Lorne Michaels and everyone at SNL my life.’

The video shared alongside the caption featured Pete hugging comedian Jerrod Carmichael, 35, after doing his ‘very first update and sketch,’ with Pete adding, ‘It’s crazy to think that today I’ll be doing my last one.’

Pete’s post was shared from his pal’s account after the comedian deleted his own Instagram following online harassment from girlfriend Kim’s ex-husband Kanye.

Davidson started out the emotional message writing: ‘This video was taken 8 years ago. Jerrod sent it to me last night and it made me super emotional in the best way.’
