Davidson, who was on “SNL” for seven seasons until leaving the program in 2022, recently admitted to “The Walking Dead” and “The Punisher” actor Jon Bernthal on a podcast episode of Bernthal’s called “Real Ones” that he could tolerate all of the ridicule until it became too personal.

On May 4, “Bupkis” premieres on Peacock.
