Pete Davidson was hilariously angsty on this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live as he filmed a Christmas-themed parody of Eminem‘s classic Stan music video.VT
The 30-year-old comedian was renamed Stu in the new video and was obsessed with the hard-to-get PlayStation 5.
The clip referenced Eminem’s past collaborations on Stan with Elton John, and the 51-year-old rapper even made a surprise appearance at the end.

The digital short opened with Bateman as Santa at the North Pole, with Chloe Fineman, Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett playing his elves.VT
‘Mine’s a little weird,’ moans Bennet’s elf as he starts to recite it for Santa.
The clip cuts to a dank basement with photos of Santa Claus plastered all over the walls, while Stu begins to write and rap his letter.
Like Devon Sawa, who played Stan in the original, Pete wears a ribbed white tank top and has spiky peroxide blond hair.

Desperate: Pete Davidson plays Stu, a character played by Pete Davidson modeled on the character from Eminem’s Stan video. He writes increasingly violent letters asking for a PS5
‘Dear Santa Claus, please bring me a PS5,’ he raps. ‘I tried to buy one at a Walmart / Ran around the shopping mall like Paul Blart / Tried to find one for sale / But the thing is that they’re all out.’
He also complimented Santa for ‘that movie you did with Will Ferrell,’ before rapping, ‘Elf was phat!’VT
The elves then sing a chorus similar to Dido’s chorus on the original song, and Bowen Yang appears as Elton John, referencing the live performances he and Eminem did of Stan together.

Even as Stu gets increasingly angry and violent at the lack of a response, his mother (Kate McKinnon) cradles a PS5 in bed that she’s waiting until Christmas to give him.
Santa writes him back to finally end the letters
‘Dear Stu, I think you got the wrong address, bro. I’m not Santa Claus. Bye bye.’VT
Then Stu sees the real Eminem on TV, where he has just received a PS5 for Christmas, even though he never asked Santa for one.
‘Sorry Stu, you f**ked up,’ he says at the end.

Morgan Wallen made his debut on the episode after being disinvited back in October.
The country singer was bumped from the show after video emerged of him partying and kissing women without a mask, in violation of SNL’s COVID-19 safety procedures.
In the comic sketch, Wallen relived his night of partying at the University of Alabama, with the evening’s host Jason Bateman playing his future self to talk some sense into him.
Poking fun at himself: Morgan Wallen made his SNL debut while in a sketch poking fun at when he was disinvited in October because his scheduled appearance
Wallen started his night by making out with featured cast member Chloe Fineman, who said she’d only put a video of their kissing on TikTok after he told her not to put it on social media.
But his kissing was interrupted by a plume of what he thought was ‘weed smoke’ as Bateman appeared in the bar dressed exactly like him.
‘I came back to stop you from partying tonight,’ Bateman said, before revealing he was Morgan from the future.
The two jokingly praised SNL boss Lorne Michaels, who was willing to give him a second chance.

Yikes: He revealed he was Morgan from the future, but only one month ahead due to his hard partying
‘By the way, whatever happened with COVID? Did they find a vaccine?’ young Morgan asks.VT
‘I do not know. I am only you from a month in the future,’ Bateman admits. ‘That’s right, you party so hard, this is what you look like after a month,’ he says, before Bowen Yang appears as Morgan from two months in the future, the result of an experimental skin treatment.
‘I was really excited to be the musical guest when Bill Burr was hosting,’ Morgan says toward the end of the sketch.
‘Well, who knows? Maybe you’ll end up with even a better host, my man,’ Bateman says jokingly while slyly pointing at himself.
After Morgan suggests Dave Chappelle, Bateman replies, ‘Dave Chappelle? No, let’s not get greedy.’
The singer followed the sketch by playing his single 7 Summers, which will be included on his upcoming sophomore album Dangerous: The Double Album.

Bateman was hosting the series for the second time, after first appearing in 2005 during his Arrested Development days.
In his monologue, he referenced the pandemic and joked about the upcoming vaccines for the coronavirus.
‘Who here has had it with 2020? But at least we’ve got the vaccine now. Who else here has got the vaccine yet?’ he joked.
He also looked back at his last hosting stint, saying sarcastically, ‘The first time was 15 years ago so you know I made a hell of an impression.’
He recounted how he filmed a scene with what he described as an adult, male chimpanzee and how it attacked him when it was brought out for the farewell at the end with the entire cast.
Back at it: Bateman was hosting the series for the second time, after first appearing in 2005 during his Arrested Development days
Bad memories: He referenced his last hosting gig, when a chimpanzee almost bit off his nose
He claimed the chimp tried to bite his nose off, though archival video showed what looked like a more playful tap on his nose from its open mouth.
‘A monkey just attacked me and nobody cares. They just keep hugging,’ he said as the earlier cast ignored it.
But afterward, its handlers had it meet him backstage to apologize, when it put its hand on his shoulder in a touching gesture.
‘The monkey was destroyed later that night,’ he said in deadpan. ‘It was my choice. Lessons need to be learned.’
Mess: After the break, Bateman was back as a ‘lame-a** dad’ supervising an all-girl sleepover. He came down to the basement after someone made a mess in the laundry room after getting a menstrual stain on a couch cushion
Guilty: Just then, Kate McKinnon’s character walks down stairs while covered in soap bubbles and with her hair sticking up wildly
After the break, Bateman was back as the self-described ‘lame-a** dad’ supervising an all-girl sleepover.
He came down to the basement to quiz the girls after he founds someone had ‘left a menstrual period stain — kind of a big one — on one of the couch cushions.’
The guilty culprit then put the entire cushion in the washing machine, which caused a sudsy mess, before they put it in the dryer and baked the stain in, then tried to cut it out and got stuffing everywhere.
Just then, Kate McKinnon’s character walks down stairs while covered in soap bubbles and with her hair sticking up wildly.
She tries to blame the other girls even as she’s covered in evidence.
Tickling the ivory: Bateman was back again after the break as the piano player at an outdoor cabaret in New York City
Awkward: Bowen Yang and Cecily Strong played the two hosts and performers, but each time they performed they sang completely different lines over each other

Bateman was back again after the break as the piano player at an outdoor cabaret in New York City.
The set parodied some restaurants that have built outdoor seating areas, then enclosed them so that they no longer safely count as an outdoor area.

Disappointed: Their parents initially took it well, before threatening to disown them or kill themselves if they didn’t come home
Party animals: Bateman appeared with McKinnon as Fineman’s father. After urging her to come home, they welcomed friends over and told them to take their masks off because they were ‘cool’
SNL made light of the ongoing pandemic in the next digital short, in which Lauren Holt, Ego Nwodim and Choe Fineman played women informing their mothers that they wouldn’t come home for the holidays due to the pandemic.
Their parents initially took it well, before threatening to disown them or kill themselves if they didn’t come home.
‘I guess since you won’t be coming, I’ll just throw your stocking in the fire,’ said Heidi Gardner, as Holt’s mother.
Bateman appeared again with McKinnon as Fineman’s father, and after urging her to come home, they welcomed some first responder friends over and told them to take their masks off because they were ‘cool.’
New reality: Kyle Mooney appeared in the next sketch via a tablet attached to a motorized robot dressed as an elf
North Pole visit: Mikey Day and Melissa Villaseñor played parents bring their kids to a mall Santa display, with Bateman now playing a Santa interpreter, with Cecily Strong as Mrs. Claus
Whoops! The two were in giant plastic bubbles to prevent any coronavirus transmission, but as soon as Jason started walking to greet the children he crashed down all over the cardboard set
Kyle Mooney appeared in the next sketch via a tablet attached to a motorized robot dressed as an elf.
Mikey Day and Melissa Villaseñor played parents bring their kids to a mall Santa display, with Bateman now playing a Santa interpreter, with Cecily Strong as Mrs. Claus.
The two were in giant plastic bubbles to prevent any coronavirus transmission, but as soon as Jason started walking to greet the children, his bubble rolled uncontrollably and he crashed down all over the cardboard set.
‘Everything is A-OK, exactly where I wanted my acting career to be,’ he said while lying on the ground in his bubble.
Strong also tried to move around, before she rolled over and destroyed more of the set while smashing a cupcake in her face.
After a second fall, Santa starts bleeding from the nose ‘one week after my nose job.’
After the kids go elsewhere, Day and Villaseñor decide to take their own photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, but then Bateman and Strong accidentally roll over them too.

Mooney was back in the final sketch of the evening, a digital short in which he joined his friends at home to watch football and eat beer and wings.
After they all build on a joke, he jumps in minutes later with his own take, which is too bizarre and way too late to be funny.
‘It sounds so good in my head, but then my energy is weird. I’m the guy who kills the bit,’ he sings as the sketch turns in to a music video.
‘We like you, man,’ Davidson says after the song. ‘You’re a great guy. So I say this with love — you don’t have to be funny.’
But after he gets in a joke that they laugh at, he stars sing that he’s ‘the guy who nailed the bit.’
