As a stand-up comedian, Pete Davidson has not doubt felt what it’s like to bomb on stage. Hopefully, the experience lessened the blow when he was reportedly booed at a Syracuse University basketball game.
The 28-year-old entertainer received the not-so-friendly welcome when he showed up for the match between Syracuse Orange and Louisville Cardinals at the Carrier Dome on Saturday (Feb.

The harsh hello came three years after Pete called the city of Syracuse “trash” during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show. “Pete seemed to be prepared for what was coming to him,” an attendee of the game told Page Six. “He brushed it off and had a laugh, as did the locals.” The source went on to hilariously speculate why Pete was bundled up and keeping a low profile in a hoodie, dark sunglasses and Syracuse beanie during the game. “Maybe because of the single digit temps or perhaps because of the cold welcome from natives.” Pete was accompanied by businessman and Syracuse athletics superfan Adam Weitsman, according to multiple sources for the outlet.
