Pete Davidson was asked the most pressing thing on one guest’s mind on the latest episode of John Mulaney’s live talk show, Everybody’s Live.
“To me, you’re just an average guy,” returning guest Luenell told Davidson. “Regular guy, but you continuously pull all these bad b----es, right? So, since I don’t get it, I want to know the mystique.”
The comedian continued, “What I think, for the research and for women across America, I think that you should take me out.”

“If that’s what it takes to stop this, yeah,” Davidson replied, blushing.
Davidson has sparked a lot of tabloid discussion over the years about his love life, particularly when he got engaged to Ariana Grande in 2018.
He later received even more scrutiny when he dated Kim Kardashian for nine months, famously attracting the ire of her ex-husband, Kanye West.
Davidson himself, meanwhile, has always seemed uncomfortable talking about the subject, and this conversation with Luenell was no exception.
“We’re going to move off Pete’s personal life,“ Mulaney said, but Luenell had a little more to say.
“I just thought I would shoot my shot, you know, because people do want to know what is the mystique.”
“I don’t know,” Davidson earnestly replied.
“Like, are you super fun? Are you a really good time?” Luenell asked.
Davidson seemed too embarrassed to answer the question, so Mulaney came to his rescue. “He has a real mystique,” he said. To Davidson he added, “You have a real electricity to you.”
Mulaney argued that Davidson is “a wonderful guy, probably, to go to bed with.”
“I wasn’t tearing him down, I just want to know,” Luenell clarified.
She told Davidson, “I want to say right now, I do not want to sleep with you, I think. But I do want to go out.”
“OK, that sounds fair,” Davidson replied.
Mulaney soon changed the subject, asking Davidson if he was still doing cold plunges.
“Yeah,” Davidson joked, “I’m going to need one after tonight.”
