    Pete Davidson is launching a new podcast series

    The 32-year-old comedian is set to host a weekly video podcast filmed inside his home, with The Pete Davidson Show premiering on Netflix on January 30.


    Pete - who enjoyed huge success as a cast member on Saturday Night Live - told Tudum: "Netflix was the home of one of my first stand-up specials, so it felt right to bring the podcast there, too. It's me and my friends talking about anything and everything. It's going to be a great time."

    The upcoming series will mark Pete's forth collaboration with Netflix, having previously made Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli and Pete Davidson: Alive from New York, as well as hosting and curating Pete Davidson Presents: The Best Friends in 2022.

    Meanwhile, Pete previously revealed that he's found the focus on his personal life to be "traumatic".

    The comedian has dated a host of famous women, including Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Kaia Gerber, Margaret Qualley, and Phoebe Dynevor, but Pete felt frustrated that people often knew him for his high-profile love life, rather than his comedy talent.

    Pete - who recently welcomed his first child, a daughter, with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt - said on The Breakfast Club: "It just got to a point where I was ... I got really tired of my whole career just being like my personal life. And living through that is it's sort of traumatic. Like not to be like lame, but like it's traumatic to live in your own crap all the time."

    Pete also hated the experience of being sexualised by the public.

    The comedy star - who has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years - explained: "I don't want to victimise myself in any way because I'm cool, but the sexualisation of me - if that was a girl, people would be like, there would be a march for it ... Seriously. You're just talking about my d*** all day."
