Pete Davidson explained himself further and said in the same interview that the environment at his workplace makes him want to quit sooner than later. He pointed out that he is often shown as a dumb and foolish person and is laughed at. He added to his comments that the co-workers are extremely competitive and talk behind each other’s backs, moreover, young writers are constantly fearful of getting fired, which does not make it a healthy environment to work in.

Although Davidson was unapologetically honest about how he feels about the show, he was grateful for how the show helped him make his career. He especially praised a few of his colleagues and mentioned how supportive they had been of him throughout the series. He also said that the show had made him smarter and a better comedian.
