7Amarillo Jerk!

Yeah, and after the bit was done he couldnt wait to get out for there. It wasnt sincere at all.

Hope he learned their r limits to jokes. Good for him to apologies

American comedy has always been about making fun of other people's appearances or faults, never been funny

SNL hasn't been funny for years

Pete Davidson should have apologized. I dont care if its nbcsnl or not. That was inappropriate. nbcsnl only cares about there ratings, who cares if you hurt someone’s feelings. I’m sure Pete didn’t get fired either.

He laughs before punch line. All comedians today think they are funny. Ain't that right Jimmy Kimmel. Pete you are still a little punk. Your Dad however. A true hero.

Dead SNL cast member walking, just a hunch.

Trump needs to see this. See, Donald? This is called an apology. You should try it sometime.

He feared to be fired, like Magan Kelly!

Well done Pete. You made a mistake, you apologised and you rectified. All should be forgiven and forgotten. Also well done Dan.

Funny how Red Skelton can still make me laugh today and today's so called wanna be comedians only know how to pick apart Republicans as their shtick.

He should have

IIITTTSSS TTTOOO LLLAAATTTEEE🤐🤬🤬

Career over!

SNL has much to apologize for... This is a good start... keep going.

He is still repulsive but hey, it got him his fifteen minutes. Now back under the rock he crawled out from.

Trump Mocked a dead Muslim veteran and republicans were happy about it. Hypocrites

I thought this was great.

Great thing to do so.

He should apologize for politically weaponizing comedy, ruining the art of laughter.

Nice! Kindness is always better. SaluteToService

This is the liberal hypocrisy after seeing how ridiculous “humor” has reached⚠️mocking veterans when comedians have never served on the battlefield- cowards👌🏽 VeteransDay

100% chance they slam only Republicans next week anyway.

Nice move. Sad comedians have more class than the president.

Comedy is Over. Why not make a blanket rule- you cannot mock anyone. And apologizing for making fun of people- when it’s your job…You ever hear a police apology after a shooting…NO!

That was good on him. It was just a joke and yes everyone has their own emotional levels. But at least he made it right...

Thank you Pete 👍

When will the government apologize for sending Lt. Cmdr. Dan Crenshaw and hundreds of thousands of other soldiers on fool's errands solely to enrich the Military Industrial Complex.

Interesting how they treated Pete one way, Ms. Kelly another.

The only reason he got hired is because NBC feels bad that his dad died in 9/11. Everyone knows that.

Good. That was appropriate.

Candidate chides Pete Davidson of 'SNL' over eyepatch jokeHOUSTON (AP) — A Texas Republican congressional candidate has chided 'Saturday Night Live' comic Pete Davidson for poking fun at the eyepatch he wears because he was badly wounded during his third tour in Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL. Davidson said during Saturday's 'Weekend Update' segment that Dan Crenshaw, whose photo was displayed, was 'kinda cool' but that viewers might be 'surprised he's a congressional candidate from Texas and not a hit man in a porno movie.' He added, 'I'm sorry, I know he lost his eye in war or whatever.' Crenshaw, who is running against Democrat Todd Litton for an open suburban Houston district seat, replied in a tweet on Sunday, saying: 'Good rule in life: I try hard not to offend; I try harder not to be offended. That being said, I hope nbcsnl recognizes that vets don't deserve to see their wounds used as punchlines for bad jokes.' With plump and the gop, seems like everything is fair game. Too bad dude When will we hold a commander in chief accountable more than we hold a comedian? Tell that to your boss
