"I personally think I should be done with that show 'cause they make fun of me on it," Pete said.

I'm, like, cold-open, like political punchlines ... I'm like 'Weekend Update' jokes. Not like, when I'm not there, they'll be like, 'Ha, ha, ha, but Pete's a f--king jerk face.' And you’re like, ‘Whose side are you on?’" Pete explained. "I have a weird feeling in that building where I don’t know whose team they’re playing for, really — if I’m the joke or I’m in on the joke.”

In the interview, Pete also admitted that he feels like the writers think he's "f--king dumb" and complained that they paint him as a "big dumb idiot” due to the number of jokes made at his expense. He later added that working at SNL is "scary," and said he had a fear of getting fired for the first three years.

By the sounds of it, Pete's comments may have ruffled some feathers at the network. According to Page Six, Pete was notably absent from the SNL afterparty and his co-stars were not happy about his recent tell-all interview. The publication also claimed that his comments have upset people at NBC, and as a result, "they don’t want to work with him."

Right now, his future on SNL is one big question mark. But either way, there's no question that Pete already has plenty on his plate. The comedian recently released a stand-up special called Alive from New York on Netflix, will appear in the Suicide Squadsequel, and is set to star in the upcoming Hulu film Big Time Adolescence.
