Pete Davidsondid not shy away from discussing his ex-fiancéeAriana Grandein his newNetflixcomedy special.
InAlive From New York, which dropped on the streaming service Tuesday, theSaturday Night Livecomedian referenced thecontroversial joke he made on the showin 2018about Rep.Dan Crenshaw‘s eye patch before skewing Grande, whom hesplitfrom in October 2018, four months after getting engaged.
“The only thing I did do, and I apologize for, is I did make that guy famous and a household name for no reason, right?” Davidson, 26, said of Crenshaw, 35.
“I did what likeAriana Grandedid for me, right? Yeah. Yes. I sucked his d— atSNL,”the comedian joked, eliciting both laughs and gasps from the crowd.
“I wasn’t going to do jokes about this, but then my buddy told me, he’s like, ‘Yo, I recently heard that Ariana said she had no idea who you were and she just dated you as a distraction.’ ” Davidson added. “So now I just think it’s like fair game.”

Davidson continued, “You know, she has her songs and stuff and this is what I have, okay? All right? That’s it, all right? And you’re like, ‘Pete, this isn’t fair. You’re airing out your dirty laundry. How could you do that? Where did she say this stuff? To her friends? In the confidence of her own home?’ No, she said iton the cover ofVoguemagazine.”
“Can you imagine if I did that? My career would be over tomorrow. If I spray-painted myself brown and hopped on the cover ofVoguemagazine and just started sh—ing on my ex?” he added, referring tobacklash against the singer’s tanin theVoguephotos.
The comedian said that “sometimes life is a little unfair,” before noting, “Again, these are jokes, I don’t want any smoke, okay?”
“People ask me all the time, you know, they’re like, what was — it’s like any other breakup, you know, it’s just that everyone sees it,” Davidson said. “Uh, yeah. I didn’t know what I was getting — I kind of knew what I was getting into, but not really. I didn’t know about the picture thing. If I knew about that, I would’ve seen a dermatologist before I started dating her. I would have like taken proper precaution.”

When discussing Grande’s hit song “thank u, next” — which makes references to the singer’s exes, Davidson included — the comedian joked that even his grandpa was a fan.
“My grandpa’s like, he goes, ‘It’s a slap. Peter, Peter, it’s a slap. I’m really sorry. It’s a good song, and I don’t even listen to that s—,’ ” Davidson said. “And I was like, ‘I get it!’ But yeah, uh, this is the only thing I didn’t like that I got out of it, which everybody — it’s a common misconception.”
Davidson also said that he didn’t appreciate Grande’ssince-deleted tweet about the size of his penis. “Like 10 inches? …oh f—…i mean…like a lil over a minute,” the singer responded to a fan who asked how long her song “pete davidson” was on Twitter in June 2018.
“Uh, I don’t like that she talked all this s— on behalf of my d—,” Davidson admitted. “I thought that was super weird. She was like, ‘Yeah, it didn’t work out, but like, nice d—!’ I thought that was really weird, ‘cause like everybody was like, ‘Oh, that’s, what a nice girl!’ ”
“I didn’t like it, because it’s just simply not true,” he said. “Uh, yeah, yeah. It’s not — she has tiny little hands. She has very little hands. Everything is f—ing huge to her. Yeah. It was a f— joke the entire time.”

“She did that so that — she’s a genius, remember this, she’s a very smart person, okay? She did that so that every girl that sees my d— for the rest of my life is disappointed,” Davidson said, to much applause.
“That’s a lifetime L. Hold that,” he said. “I didn’t even get to enjoy my big d— summer, whatever the f— it was called. Please stop doing that. I have a family that reads. Stop. My poor mother.”
