>>> WELL, 47 MILLION PEOPLE WILL TRAVEL THIS YEAR TO GET HOME FOR
THANKSGIVING. HERE WITH HIS THOUGHTS ON GOING
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAY IS PETE DAVIDSON.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> HELLO, COLIN.
HOW ARE YOU? >> I'M GOOD.
NOW PETE, SO YOU AND I ARE BOTH FROM STATEN ISLAND.
DO YOU PLAN ON GOING HOME FOR THANKSGIVING?
>> NO. I DON'T.
IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T LOVE MY FAMILY.
I DO. BUT AT THIS POINT THANKSGIVING
DINNER IS JUST A BUNCH OF PEOPLE ASKING ME WHAT KATE McKINNON IS
LIKE. AND I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW.
SHE NEVER TALKS TO ME. PLUS, I FEEL LIKE MY HOMETOWN
DOESN'T REALLY LIKE ME EITHER. >> WHY WOULDN'T THEY LIKE YOU?
PEOPLE THERE ARE SO NICE. >> OF COURSE YOU SAY THAT.
YOU'RE LIKE THE MOST POPULAR PERSON FROM THERE.
THIS IS HOW THEY WRITE ABOUT COLIN IN OUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER,
THE "STATEN ISLAND ADVANCE." "COLIN JOST TEES UP.
IT'S ABOUT THREE WEEKS 'TIL ELECTION, BUT YOU COULD NEVER
TELL BY COLIN JOST'S SWING." HERE'S HOW THEY WRITE ABOUT ME.
THIS IS A REVIEW OF A WEEKEND UPDATE APPEARANCE I DID.
"THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS ONE WAS HIS INTERACTION WITH
COLIN JOST." SERIOUSLY,
IT'S CRAZY. AND LOOK AT THE PICTURES THEY
USE OF YOU. RIGHT?
AND NOW LOOK AT THE PICTURES THEY USE OF ME.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> WHY DO YOU THINK THEY DON'T
LIKE YOU? >> I HAVE NO IDEA.
I MEAN, IF I HAD TO GUESS, IT'S MAYBE SOMETHING I SAID IN AN
INTERVIEW ONCE, THAT I WISHED THAT WHEN
HURRICANE SANDY HIT STATEN ISLAND THAT IT HAD
"FINISHED THE JOB." >> I REMEMBER THAT ONE.
>> MAYBE I DID CROSS THE LINE. BUT WHEN A REPORTER FROM STATEN
ISLAND WROTE ABOUT IT IN THE POST, HERE'S WHAT HE SAID, KEEP
TALKING LIKE THAT, AND YOU WILL BE SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES.
THAT'S A DEATH THREAT. IN A NEWSPAPER.
WHO DOES THAT? WHAT ARE YOU, THE ZODIAC?
THEN HE SAID THIS -- "TRY TAKING A CUE FROM YOUR
FELLOW 'SNL' CAST MEMBER, COLIN&JOST.
HE'S ALSO WAY BETTER LOOKING THAN YOU."
>> I CAN SEE HOW WHAT YOU SAID MIGHT MAKE YOU UNPOPULAR.
>> IT WAS JUST A JOKE. BUT LIKE A SERIOUS JOKE.
YOU KNOW? YOU KNOW LIKE WHEN YOU ARE
JOKING BUT YOU MEAN IT? I DON'T EVEN FEEL THAT WAY
ANYMORE. I WOULD BE JUST AS HAPPY IF
THERE WAS NO HURRICANE AND STATEN ISLAND JUST FELL INTO THE
SEA. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> TAKE IT EASY. >> NO, NO.
SERIOUSLY -- NO. IF STATEN ISLAND IS SO
DESIRABLE, THEN WHY IS IT FREE TO GET THERE?
DON'T GET ME WRONG. DON'T GET ME WRONG.
I KNOW STATEN ISLAND ISN'T ALL HEROIN AND RACIST COPS.
IT ALSO HAS METH AND RACIST FIREFIGHTERS.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> WHAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING IS
NOT THE STATEN ISLAND I KNOW, PETE.
>> THAT'S BECAUSE THEY LOVE YOU, BECAUSE YOU REPRESENT WHAT THEY
COULD BE. A KID WHO GOT OUT, WENT TO
HARVARD, AND IS NOW ACCORDING TO PEOPLE MAGAZINE, THE WORLD'S
SEXIEST JOKE WRITER. AND THE REASON STATEN ISLAND
HATES ME IS BECAUSE I REPRESENT WHAT THEY ARE.
YOU KNOW, A MENTALLY ILL COMMUNITY COLLEGE DROPOUT WHO
GOT A "GAME OF THRONES" TATTOO BEFORE WATCHING THE SHOW.
[ LAUGHTER ] DIRE WOLVES LOOK DOPE.
I DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
CONGRATS ON THAT SEXIEST GUY. >> YEAH, YEAH.
>> RELAX. OKAY.
LET'S BE HONEST. THE SEXIEST JOKE WRITER IS A
REALLY SPECIFIC CATEGORY. IT'S LIKE BEING THE WORLD'S
SMARTEST HORSE. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> SO THEN YOU ARE NOT GOING HOME FOR THANKSGIVING?
>> OH, NO. I AM.
>> PETE DAVIDSON, EVERYONE. >> WHAT DID I SAY?
>> FOR "WEEKEND UPDATE", I'M COLIN JOST.
>> I'M MICHAEL CHE. GOODNIGHT!
