Pete Davidson's career crisis: Struggling to book jobs after bailing on projects and cancelling tour

The stand-up comedian faces setbacks after cancelling his comedy tour and the second season of "Bupkis”.

Pete Davidson is facing significant career challenges after a series of high-profile cancellations and personal setbacks. The comedian, known for his roles on Saturday Night Live and in films like The King of Staten Island, abruptly canceled his comedy tour and the second season of his Peacock show Bupkis, leading to strained relationships within Hollywood.

An insider revealed to The U.S. Sun that Davidson, 31, has struggled to secure new roles after these cancellations, with industry professionals upset by his unexpected decisions. "When Pete backed out of Bupkis Season 2, people were furious," the source said, highlighting the ripple effect it had on the show's cast and crew.

In addition to pulling out of Bupkis, Davidson also canceled several dates on his Prehab comedy tour after checking into rehab in July. His struggles with mental health, including PTSD and BPD, have led to a complicated relationship with his team, who reportedly find it difficult to work with him.

Despite these setbacks, Davidson continues to receive offers for TV and film roles, though sources suggest many don't align with the comedian's preferences. An insider confirmed that while Pete has been selective about his projects, he is focusing on his mental health before making his next career move.

Though 2024 has been a quieter year for Davidson in terms of major roles, fans have still seen him in commercials for Smartwater, Taco Bell, and Manscaped. Industry insiders believe that Pete is likely to make a career comeback in 2025, with potential projects already in the works.
