On “The Pete Davidson Show,” Pete Davidson praised Kim Kardashian as “superhuman,” credited her for helping him stay focused on getting things done, and highlighted her acting—while Nikki Glaser piled on praise as Kim navigates life with Lewis Hamilton.
Pete Davidson hasn’t dated Kim Kardashian in a while, but on Friday’s episode of “The Pete Davidson Show,” he sounded like he’s still carrying a lot of admiration for her.
Sitting down with fellow comedian Nikki Glaser on May 30. 2026. Davidson launched into a burst of praise about Kardashian. whom he dated for 9 months from 2021 to 2022. He told Glaser Kardashian is “superhuman. ” explaining that she can put aside what’s happening in the news and “get s*** done. ” a mindset he says he learned from her.
He didn’t stop there. Davidson also praised Kardashian for being able to not “give a f***. ” and he turned to her acting abilities—recalling a moment from their past when they talked about performing. Davidson said Kardashian told him she was going to be an actress. and he responded. “F*** yeah. ” adding: “she’s so good at it!”.
Kardashian’s screen work is now part of the conversation in a bigger way. She starred in FX’s “American Horror Story: Delicate,” had a leading role in Hulu’s “All’s Fair,” and is starring alongside Nikki Glaser in the soon-to-be-released film, “The Fifth Wheel.”
During the podcast, Glaser matched Davidson’s energy, referring to Kardashian as “amazing,” “so smart,” and someone who can do anything—especially if people claim she can’t.
The conversation landed in the middle of a busy personal timeline. Kardashian is currently dating Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. Davidson, meanwhile, recently broke up with model/actress Elsie Hewitt after they dated for over a year and had a child together.
For Davidson, though, the takeaway sounded simple: Kardashian’s impact—how she handles the noise and commits to the work—still registers. In his telling, that’s what makes her “superhuman.”
