Davidson previously spoke about his dear puppies on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon In November 2021. He told the host: “I got three dogs during the pandemic because it was hard.”
The star’s heartbreaking statement comes days after his return to SNL was canceled due to the Writer’s Guild of America strike. He was set to make his hosting debut while rapper Lil Uzi Vert was scheduled as the musical guest.
