Pete Davidson's Shocking Podcast Move: What Will Netflix Do Next?!

Hold onto your hats, folks! Pete Davidson is diving headfirst into the world of podcasting, and not just any podcasting, but Netflix's *first ever* original video podcast. Yes, you read that right. "The Pete Davidson Show" is coming to your screens (and presumably your headphones, if you're multi-tasking) on January 30th, and it's a Netflix exclusive. That means you won't find it on your usual podcast apps like Apple Podcasts. Looks like Netflix is serious about keeping this one in the family.

Pete Davidson's Shocking Podcast Move: What Will N...

Now, I've got to admit, I'm intrigued. Davidson's humor is… well, it's *Davidson's* humor. You either love it or you scratch your head and wonder what all the fuss is about. But one thing's for sure: he's never boring. And the fact that Netflix is entrusting him with their first foray into this space suggests they see something big here. The show's premise is interesting too; apparently, Pete intends to film a good chunk of it right from his garage. He joked about it, saying "it's where all the best conversations happen." Honestly, I'm not sure if he's being sarcastic or if that's genuinely his vibe, but either way, I'm here for it.

This isn’t Davidson's first rodeo with Netflix, either. He's already delivered two comedy specials, "Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli" and "Pete Davidson: Alive from New York," which, depending on your taste, were either comedic gold or… well, let's just say they were Pete Davidson. He also hosted and curated "Pete Davidson Presents: The Best Friends" for the Netflix Is a Joke Fest. So, clearly, the streaming giant sees a good working relationship here, and they're doubling down.

The production team behind "The Pete Davidson Show" is nothing to sneeze at either. Marc Lieberman, president of Above Average (the digital arm of Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video), is producing. That’s some serious comedy pedigree right there. And Sarah Brennan Kolb, who directed "Turbo Fonzarelli," will be back in the director's chair. So, we've got a proven team, a controversial-but-popular comedian, and a streaming giant making a bold new move. What could possibly go wrong? (Or, more likely, what could possibly go hilariously right?).

Honestly, I'm curious to see how this plays out. Video podcasts are definitely having a moment, and Netflix jumping into the fray could really shake things up. Will "The Pete Davidson Show" be a hit? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure, I'll be tuning in on January 30th, popcorn in hand, ready to see what kind of chaotic magic (or beautiful disaster) Davidson and Netflix have cooked up in that garage.
