The comic had nothing but good things to say about his former girlfriend on his own TV show.
Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian’s nine-month relationship might be in the rear view, but it hasn’t stopped the comedian gushing over the SKIMS founder on his own TV show.
Davidson welcomed fellow comic Nikki Glaser as a guest on his new Netflix series The Pete Davidson Show, where Kardashian’s unwavering approach to her career became a conversation topic.
