Pete Davidson Reflects on His Dad’s 9/11 Death, Calls Out People Who Aren’t ‘Telling the Truth’ About Him

Pete Davidson recently shared some memories of his late father, Scott Davidson.

On Tuesday, September 23, the Saturday Night Live alum, 31, appeared on the This Past Weekend podcast hosted by Theo Von and discussed his dad, who tragically perished at 33 years old while serving with Ladder Company 118 during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

“They were the first truck over there, and pretty much the whole house died,” Pete revealed. “Which is sad, but at least he died with his pals.”

While the comedian admitted his “memories are few and far between” of Scott, as he was only 7 years old when he died, he noted “he was f**king hilarious.”

“I just remember laughing a lot, him being pretty jacked, smoking a lot of cigarettes, and driving a Subaru Impreza,” Pete quipped. Always had a big smile on the face.”

The King of Staten Island actor also admitted that people often lie to him about knowing his dad so they can come backstage and meet him at shows. However, he explained he has a way of knowing who is being honest.

“I could always tell who is telling the truth cause the second they start talking, they have this big smile and their eyes kinda light up, and they call him Scottie, which is what his friends call him,” Pete remarked.

“So I always could tell, and everything I hear is always really sweet,” he continued. “I’m sure they keep the horrible things away.”

As Star previously reported, Pete is on his way to becoming a dad himself, as he announced in July that he and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt are expecting their first child together.
