Following his breakthrough on SNL, Davidson transitioned into leading film and television roles, notably co-writing and starring in the semi-autobiographical film The King of Staten Island (2020) and the Peacock series Bupkis (2023). He has also appeared in films like The Suicide Squad (2021) and released three stand-up comedy specials, including Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli in 2024. Davidson continues to be a prominent figure in entertainment, balancing acting with his distinctive brand of stand-up comedy.
