2. Pete Davidson
If you know Pete Davidson you probably know him as the gawky teenager who did a few stand-up bits onWeekend Update last year. Pete was actually hand-picked to become a featured player by SNL patriarchLorne Michaels and is the youngest member of the current cast. Although the Staten Island native wasn’t elevated to superstar status after his first year on SNL, he was able to score a great role as a result of that casting. Davidson played a small part in this summer’s breakout comedy, Trainwreck, as Bill Hader’s super stoned patient. Pete also performed as part of Comedy Central’s Roast of Justin Bieberthis past year. At the taping, Davidson was so starstruck by Bieber that he broke down and admitted to being a big fan of the singer’s. Expect more great things from this very talented 21-year-old as he’s primed to begin his second season as part of the Saturday Night Live cast.
