Saturday Night Live alum and host Pete Davidson — whose New York firefighter dad died in the 9/11 terror attacks at the World Trade Center — gave a moving tribute to the youngest victims of the Israel-Hamas war in his opening monologue, noting "sometimes comedy is really the only way forward through tragedy."
"Well, in a lot of ways, I am a good person to talk about it, because when I was 7 years old, my dad was killed in a terrorist attack. So I know something about what that's like," he continued. "After my dad died, my mom tried pretty much everything she could do to cheer me up. I remember one day when I was 8, she got me what she thought was a Disney movie. But it was actually the Eddie Murphy standup special, 'Delirious.'
