SNL's Pete Davidson is going to space with Blue Origin
CBSN
"Saturday Night Live" star Pete Davidson is again in the news — but this time, it's for an out-of-this-world reason. The 28-year-old comedian is heading to space aboard the next Blue Origin mission on March 23.
Blue Origin, the space exploration company founded by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, will also send Marty Allen, husband and wife duo Sharon and Marc Hagle, Jim Kitchen and George Nield on the rocket.
Davidson joined "Saturday Night Live" in 2014. He also wrote and starred in the Judd Apatow-directed "The King of Staten Island." He's made headlines recently for dating Kim Kardashian. The couple has gained widespread attention on social media and in entertainment news recently after Kardashian's estranged husband, Kanye West, heavily criticized the pair on social media.
