Pete Davidson admits he's trying to find his mom a date: 'She's a good catch'

Pete Davidson is looking to find his mom a hot date.

During his Tuesday night appearance on the "Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," Davidson discussed hosting the season 49 premiere of "Saturday Night Live" this week. 

He is not the only one who's looking forward to it. The comedian shared that his mother, Amy, is very happy for him.

"She's very excited. She actually has been on the show almost as many times as I have. Like, she's always ready to go up," Davidson told Fallon. "And I'm really excited just because, like, I'm trying to find my mom someone to date."

He continued, "She hasn't been with anybody in like 23 years. So, like, yeah, and she's a good catch ..."

Davidson elaborated on how he's been searching for the perfect suitor for his mother. He said he's been "trying to find someone nice" and to take some pressure off of him.

"I really just want someone to take care of her," Davidson said, adding, "and to get her off my hands."

Prior to working on "SNL" as a cast member, Davidson revealed that Amy made him take the sanitation exam to be a garbage truck driver and would hound him for years to switch his profession.

"When I got ‘SNL,’ I called her, and I was like, ‘I’m going to be a guy on "SNL," Mom,'" he began. "And she was like, ‘Well, just so you know, the garbageman test is at the end of the month.’"

Davidson was originally slated to host "SNL" before the writers strike put a halt to the show. He told Fallon that the last time he was on the show was right before what was supposed to be his big debut.

"It's funny, any time I have something that I work really hard on that I'm, like, really proud of, either a national pandemic happens, and they're like, 'No premiere for you!' or then this writers strike happened," Davidson said. "So, yeah, I still think it might not happen."

Davidson also remembered learning how he got the hosting gig: Over a text message from "Saturday Night Live" producer Lorne Michaels.

"I got a classic Lorne text. He was like, 'There's a rumor going around that you're the host for the premiere.' And he goes, 'I guess it's true because I started it,'" Davidson said with a laugh.

Davidson left the show as a cast member after season 47. He was a member of the cast for eight seasons prior to his departure.

Colts place Anthony Richardson on IR, rookie QB sidelined for at least one month

Indianapolis Colts rookie sensation Anthony Richardson will have to sit out for a minimum of four games as he works his way back to the football field from a shoulder injury. The team officially placed the 21-year-old quarterback on injured reserve on Wednesday.

Richardson's shoulder hit the turf hard in the first half of the Colts' Week 5 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Colts head coach Shane Steichen said there was no timeline for Richardson's return.

 "We'll continue to evaluate that process," Steichen said. "Don't have a timetable to return."

Richardson has endured a few injury setbacks early on in his NFL career. He entered concussion protocol after he suffered a head injury in the Week 2 game against the Houston Texans. Gardner Minshew handled the starting duties for Indy's Week 3 overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens.

COLTS, RUNNING BACK JONATHAN TAYLOR AGREE TO $42 MILLION CONTRACT EXTENSION: REPORTS

The Colts will face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Indy then have matchups against the Browns, Saints and Panthers. The Colts currently sit at 3-2 and are in a tie with the Jags for first place in the AFC South division.

Longtime team owner Jim Irsay took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to confirm Wednesday's roster move.

Minshew has thrown two touchdowns and no interceptions since he has been thrust into action in place of an injured Richardson so far this season.

Steichen expressed confidence about Minshew's ability to fill in, no matter how long Richardson remains unavailable.

"It gets tough when a guy gets dinged up, and he's been dinged up," Steichen said earlier this week. "He's obviously a very, very talented player, and it's tough. But we have a lot of faith in Gardner to step in and go operate the way he's been doing."

Steichen has some familiarity with Minshew, having coached him last season when he was the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles. Mishew started a couple of games last season when star quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered a shoulder injury.

"I think he's an elite processor of the game. You've got a guy that can process the game quickly and make quick decisions. He's really good, he's accurate, he knows where to go with the football at the right time and the right place, and he's been awesome for us," Steichen said in reference to Minshew.

Richardson also missed time during the Colts' season opener due to what was later described as knee soreness. 

Sam Ehlinger has been elevated to the No. 2 quarterback for Sunday's game. The Colts also added Kellen Mond to the practice squad.
