Pete Davidson confirms he's leaving "Saturday Night Live"

Pete Davidson confirmed that he is leaving "Saturday Night Live" after eight seasons. "It's crazy to think that today I'll be doing my last one," Davidson wrote on Instagram prior to Saturday's season finale.

Davidson does not have his own Instagram account, but he posted a message through Dave Sirus, who writes for "Saturday Night Live." The message was accompanied by a video of Davidson hugging Jerrod Carmichael.

"When I got the show I was 20 years old and I had no idea what I was doing," Davidson wrote. "I still don't but especially back then. I wasn't really a sketch performer I was just a stand up. I knew I could never keep up or go toe to toe with a Kenan Thompson or a Kate McKinnon so I was super scared at figuring out what I could possibly bring to or do for such a historic, respected show and platform."
