Saturday Night Live’s Devon Walker Weighs In on the Comparisons Between Him and Pete Davidson (Exclusive)

Saturday Night Live’s Devon Walker has seen the online discourse comparing him and Pete Davidson.

“There’s a longtime rumor that people think me and Pete Davidson look alike,” Walker, 33, exclusively told Us Weekly while attending the American Museum of Natural History Gala in New York City on Thursday, December 5. “And that’s been something that I tried to fight for a long time.”

Walker was referring to the countless posts on social media stating that he and Davidson, 31, have similar facial features. In addition to their looks, the comedians are also the same height: 6-foot-3.

“People don’t realize that I’m tall. I’m 6-foot-3,” he said while clarifying that the internet has gotten his height wrong. “Make sure that’s on record. I’ve seen some stuff that says otherwise. I’m 6-foot-3. Just note that.”

While Walker and Davidson have the SNL connection, the men were not on the main cast at the same time. Davidson joined the variety show for season 40 in 2014. Eight years later, Davidson announced his departure following season 47.

Walker, for his part, joined SNL the following season. In his first year as a featured cast member, many fans pointed out his resemblance to Davidson not only with his looks but his laid-back nature.

In a March 2023 interview with GQ, Walker addressed the comparisons for the first time. While Walker doesn’t see the resemblance between him and the Bupkis star, he takes the comparison as a compliment — especially given Davidson’s high-profile dating history.

“People want to f— that guy, so I guess that’s nice,” he joked to the outlet.

Davidson returned to SNL in season 49 to host, and the pair got to share the stage for the first time. Since his 2023 hosting gig, Davidson has returned to SNL on multiple occasions for brief cameos.

Most recently, Davidson appeared when pal John Mulaney returned to host for season 50 in November. Davidson joined Mulaney for their latest musical sketch. Following the episode, Walker shared a pic via social media of him posing alongside Davidson.

“Ok but after this we gotta stop talking about it,” Walker wrote via Instagram alongside the photo of him and Davidson standing with their arms crossed.

Fans of the comedians took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the duo’s resemblance.

“Them ears, that nose, somebody call MAURY,” one user joked while another replied, “Having a twin off I see.”
