It’s a grind. It’s work. The best amongst us just keep at it.”
“When you’re a comic, you look in a room and 200 seats are facing one way. And there’s one stool, and it has a light shining on it, and you walk into that room and go, ‘That’s gonna be my chair,’” he added. “And you spend the rest of your career trying to earn that stool.”
Pete and Kim’s outing comes after attending the premiere of Hulu’s The Kardashians holding hands. The pair arrived at Goya Studios in Los Angeles together. Kardashian wore a body-hugging silver dress with a chunky choker and her hair up, while Davidson rocked a casual look created by Midnight Studios by Shane Gonzales, and a white t-shirt.
The 41-year-old reality tv star and businesswoman and the 28-year-old Saturday Night Live comedian started dating after Kim hosted an episode of SNL in October. The nation witnessed their first onscreen kiss while portraying Jasmine and Aladdin in a sketch.

The following month the mom of four had an interview with Robin Roberts revealing that after divorcing from Kanye West and starting dating Davidson she feels “at peace.”
