A+ humans and brilliantly selected co-hosts of The Golden Globes 2019, Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh have taken the time in a recent interview to ask people to leave fellow comic Pete Davidson alone.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Samberg began by discussing his time on Saturday Night Live, where Davidson currently stars, offering his thoughts on how social media has changed the scope of the show.
“I think they’re doing a great job and still cranking out really funny stuff. Social media wasn’t as big of a thing when I was on the show — I remember Twitter started while we were there because Ashton Kutcher was hosting … We did a sketch that ended up getting cut, but it was about Twitter ’cause that was the new thing, Twitter, that Ashton Kutcher is known for,” Samberg explained.
“And now it’s such a given that everyone is on it all the time.”
He went on to say that Pete Davidson is “hilarious, and the times I’ve interacted with him, he is such a sweet guy. But he’s going through some personal stuff, and there’s no way to live privately now. It’s got to make it harder.”
Co-host Sandra Oh then interjected, adding, “We should just all leave him alone. I’m serious. Let’s give people space, let’s give people privacy, let’s give them the ability to fail.”
Their outreach to Davidson follows his recent concerning statement where he said that he doesn’t “want to be on this earth anymore,” he wrote. “I’m doing my best to stay here for you but i actually don’t know how much longer I can last.”
