Comments

Liam: it's crazy that his kid is old enough for him to worry about explaining all this now
Vera: watching him navigate fatherhood, grief, and legacy like this is actually really tough to see
Obsidian Raven: this sounds like some serious therapy for him on top of everything else
Irisokaforxo: I'm guessing people are just going to ignore the fact that the kid is going to grow up knowing this story intimately. What kind of conversation do you think he's going to have
Mirage Lynx: I remember when 9/11 happened and all the heroes came out. It's amazing to see Pete Davidson giving back now, and using comedy as a way to honor his dad
Null Warden: the way he's trying to break this to his kid is really affecting me right now
Arlo: that's some heavy stuff for Pete Davidson to have to navigate, though. hope he finds the right words for his daughter
Vera: what's weird is that they're hosting a comedy benefit on 9/11 anniversary day
Lucasw: it's hard to make sense of that age gap even with all this pomp
Norakaur: That's a pretty emotional role for him. Wondering how to explain it all to a kid is one of the harder things about being a parent
