Netflix’s 'The Pete Davidson Show': Comedy Host Teases Surprising Ties With Hollywood’s Influencer

Published 03/14/2026, 1:12 PM CDT

Pete Davidson’s social circle reads less like a guest list and more like a chaotic Hollywood crossover episode. The Staten Island stand up comic somehow jumped from open mic stages to dating Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian while maintaining a chaotic bromance with Machine Gun Kelly and earning the mentorship of comedy titan Adam Sandler.

Apparently, that orbit stretches even further, because Davidson recently revealed he is unexpectedly friends with Hollywood’s 'original influencer.'

During a teaser for the upcoming The Pete Davidson Show on Netflix, Pete Davidson surprised viewers while chatting with fellow comedian Dan Soder. The comedian casually revealed that when searching for homes in the Hamptons area, he ended up getting local guidance from lifestyle empire builder Martha Stewart, something that Dan Soder made a point to note.

"I went to her house, and she, like, told me about the area and, like, showed me her f------ cool-ass compound," said Davidson as he explained that Stewart personally walked him through the neighborhood and described her as a very cool person.

"Let alone her just being like, now, Peter, I'm gonna make you one of the best lunches you've ever had in your life," Davidson also added that the hospitality did not stop at a property tour. Stewart apparently welcomed both him and his mother, even teaching his mother how to craft a small decorative table piece.

These casual glimpses into Pete Davidson’s surprisingly glamorous yet oddly low-key life are exactly one of the alluring factors of his Netflix show.

Why The Pete Davidson Show is as interesting as it is?

The Pete Davidson Show on Netflix lures in audiences not only because it is a test case for podcast contracts but also works because it feels less like a polished celebrity talk program and more like a candid hangout that viewers accidentally wandered into. Pete Davidson sits with close friends and collaborators, allowing conversations to drift naturally into stories about fame, recovery, and the strange logistics of modern celebrity life.

Another draw is Davidson’s unusual openness about sobriety and mental health. Instead of rehearsed anecdotes, Davidson and his guests share direct reflections on depression, addiction recovery, and the pressures of sudden fame, giving the program a surprisingly thoughtful edge beneath the humor.

The result is a series built on genuine chemistry. Davidson’s easygoing storytelling, combined with the presence of real friends, such as MGK rather than publicity circuit guests, turns each episode into a loose, unpredictable conversation that feels personal rather than promotional.
