Comedian The Suicide Squad. On Saturday Night Live, Davidson briefly mentions Joker, a film about a social outcast who seeks revenge on bullies.
Last year, during mental health issues during the Weekend Update segment. In addition, he often referenced his personal life, including a highly publicized relationship with singer Ariana Grande. Davidson also received backlash for mocking politician and war veteran Dan Crenshaw, who later appeared on Saturday Night Live for a conversation with the controversial cast member.
Davidson appeared on Joker’s television-themed climax, and tells Jost, “I think you should start being way nicer to me… I’m serious.” Jost laughs and appears to congratulate Davidson for his performance while the Weekend Update theme music kicks in. Watch the Saturday Night Live clip below.
Awkward as the Weekend Update moment may seem, it aligns with Davidson’s comedic approach. He typically speaks about his public image and his reality, and then infuses tragicomedy for a surrealistic slant. As a result, Davidson appears relatable one minute and edgy the next, leaving the audience (and peers) wondering about what’s real and what’s not. In 2019 alone, Davidson was part of four feature films, including a voice role as Jerry Eagle in The Angry Birds Movie 2. He’ll appear next in The Jesus Rolls and a still-untitled The Suicide Squad is currently scheduled for a 2021 release.
Once known as Saturday Night Live’s token millennial punching bag, Davidson has slowly but surely evolved into one of the series’ most intriguing cast . He doesn’t receive much air time in traditional sketches, but has built a strong career foundation elsewhere for when he ultimately leaves the show. Based on Davidson’s Joker jab on Saturday Night Live, he seems invested in sustaining his public image.
