His father, Scott Matthew Davidson, died during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks as a firefighter. He sometimes makes light of the situation in his comedy routines, especially the roasts.

He is the first SNL cast member to be born in the 1990s.

Named his comedy special "SMD" because it was his father's initials, but also because it has an obscene meaning.

His father was of mostly Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, with some German and Italian. His mother is of Irish descent. Pete was raised Catholic.

I think if you're able to be open, it's really good. It's reassuring when you hear someone that you admire talk about topics like that publicly, because it's an embarrassing thing sometimes. Crohn's is an embarrassing disease to have so it's not fun to talk about, but there are people out there that have it.
