Pete Davidson is back on stage and, of course, wastes no time making jokes about fatherhood.
The 32-year-old comedian performed Saturday (April 11) at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, his first stand-up show in five months, and used the stage to reflect on life since the birth of his daughter Scottie Rose in December 2025.
“I haven’t done stand-up in 5 months because I just had a baby; it’s a lot of fun,” he told the audience, according to footage obtained by Us every week.
“I have a little girl. It’s weird having a little girl. It’s hard to watch [expletive content]…in front of her.”
He paused for effect before delivering the punchline. “I always did. I succeeded.” He was quick to reassure the crowd that fatherhood itself is “great.”
Davidson and his girlfriend Elise Hewitt, 29, welcomed Scottie Rose, named after Pete’s late father, firefighter Scott Davidson, who died responding to the September 2001 attacks, in December.
This arrival clearly changed something fundamental about him.
Talk to Us every week in January, Davidson described the experience in terms noticeably different from his usual comedic tone.
“Nothing else has as much importance or intensity as career, activities, relationships with people. [or] what do people think of me, that kind of crap,” he said. “I always want to do cool stuff, but it’s like, ‘Well, how long should I be gone?'”
He was just as excited to see Hewitt become a mother.
“She knows exactly what to do” when the baby cries, he said, describing his girlfriend’s instincts and habit of checking the baby monitor app all night as “really cool to watch.”
The couple, who started dating in early 2025, are already thinking about expanding their family.
“We want her to have a friend, for sure. We love the idea of her being a big sister,” Davidson said, adding that even considering another child so soon “seems absolutely insane right now” but that the whole experience has been “amazing.”
