Pete Davidson’s momAmy Davidsonwill do nearly anything to support her son!
On Wednesday’s episode ofFamily Trips with the Meyers Brotherspodcast, theSaturday Night Livealum, 29, told cohostsSethandJosh Meyersthat his mother came to his defense on social media — while unsuccessfully attempting to use an alias — during his time on the NBC late night show.
“My mom used to have a fake Twitter account when I first gotSNL. You know the traditionalSNLtrajectory: you first get the show, everyone loves you and then they stop and you actually have to be good at the show and then they love you again,” he joked.

However, Pete — who revealed hemoved out of his mother’s housein April 2021 — admitted “the kicker” was that her identity was discovered “not through detective work.”
“They found out because her username was @JoeSmith, but her profile name was Amy Davidson and the profile picture was Amy Davidson,” he recalled. “So, it was a picture of my mom, with a name that said @JoeSmith1355, commenting on all these haters… She got my back, dude.”

Seth, 49, remembered meetingAmyat anSNLafterparty, sharing, “Her mom energy is very transferable to people who are not her children. You get a nice mom hit off her even though she’s not your mom.”
“Absolutely. She’s really special,” Pete agreed and Seth added, “She was at the afterparty to party, she was at the afterparty in case anyone needed mom energy, which I appreciated.”
