Pete Davidson says he earned $3,000 per episode when he joined 'Saturday Night Live.' The show was his big break, but he could only afford to splurge on dinner.

"My biggest indulgence after my first 'SNL' paycheck? Do you guys know what they pay us? It's like three grand an episode. I think I got dinner."

"Davidson got his big break in Hollywood when he landed a job as a featured player on season 40 of 'SNL,' which premiered in 2014."

"Although Davidson seemingly considered his early 'SNL' paycheck small, his growing popularity led him to land even more work as an actor."

"Davidson exited 'SNL' in 2022 after season 47 concluded. He's since returned as a host for the season 49 premiere and had a cameo on a season 50 episode."
