Pete Davidson is leaving Saturday Night Live after eight years.

Ahead of the momentous occasion, Pete shared a touching video along with a farewell message through his friend and fellow comedian Dave Sirus’s Instagram page.

Pete went on to thank Lorne Michaels and “everyone at SNL,” and that’s when things got really emotional.

“I owe Lorne Michaels and everyone at SNL my life. I’m so grateful, and I wouldn’t be here without them. I appreciate you guys always having my back and sticking up for me even when that wasn’t the popular opinion. Thank you for always believing in me and sticking by my side even when it seemed comical. “

He finished off by calling SNL his home and promising to return the next time John Mulaney does a musical sketch.
