The New York Post reported that comedian Pete Davidson is going into space with Jeff Bezos.
The Post said sources expect the trip to take place later this year.
The SNL star contacted Bezos when she met him in January while with his girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson is reportedly going to new heights – in space, with billionaire Jeff Bezos.
The New York Post reported on Thursday that the comedian is close to signing a deal to join Bezos in a Blue Origin space flight probably later this year.
“Pete is excited,” an unnamed source told the Post’s Six page. “They have not yet signed a contract, but it looks like it will happen. Details are being clarified.”
Davidson was seen at the hands of a newly unmarried friend, reality TV star Kim Kardashian, at a dinner at Bezos’ home in January, according to People.
“He got along very well with Jeff when they met,” the source told Page Six. They added that the flight will probably take place later this year.
Davidson joined the SNL cast in 2014 when he was just 20 years old. Bezos launched his aerospace company Blue Origin in 2000 and first went into space in July 2021.
Former Star Trek actor William Shatner embarked on a Blue Origin trip last October.
Representatives of Blue Origin and Davidson could not be found immediately for comment.
