Pete Davidson Reveals He Was High at Aretha Franklin’s Funeral in Netflix Special

Comedian made the confession in his hilarious new hourlong stand-up special ‘Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli,’ which premiered Jan. 9 on Netflix.

Titled Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli, it’s far and away his most confident, assured, and hilarious one yet, featuring rapid-fire jokes about everything from a Make-A-Wish scenario gone awry and navigating his stalker to a confusing childhood crush on Titanic-era Leonardo DiCaprio. Early on in the special, directed by Jason Orley in stark black and white, the former Saturday Night Live cast member addresses the time he attended Aretha Franklin ’s funeral at Detroit’s Greater Grace Temple in 2018. The comic found himself at the “Queen of Soul’s” funeral as the plus one of his then-fiancée Ariana Grande, who performed at the service, and the internet had a field day about it at the time.
