NETFLIX TAKEOVER

‘SNL’ Star to Host Netflix’s First Original Podcast

The new video podcast will “feature candid, no-holds-barred conversations,” according to the streaming giant.

Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson is heading up a new video podcast on Netflix. The Pete Davidson Show will air its first episode on Friday, Jan. 30, at 12:01 a.m. PST solely on the company’s streaming platform. The show has yet to announce specific guest features, but Netflix says the podcast will “feature candid, no-holds-barred conversations” with Davidson’s friends. The 32-year-old comedian has a long-standing relationship with the media titan, which has hosted his two previous comedy specials as well as a separate comedy showcase. Davidson began his career as an actor and stand-up comic after his big break, joining SNL as a cast member in 2014, where he stayed for 8 years until leaving in 2022. The podcast will be filmed in Davidson’s garage, which he told Netflix is “where all the best conversations happen.” The streaming giant has been further entrenching itself in the podcast game. The announcement launching Davidson’s project follows multiple deals in late 2025 with iHeartMedia, The Ringer, and Barstool Sports to host more video podcasts on their site.
