Pete Davidson recently encountered unexpected challenges after adding some new pets to his home—a 150-gallon aquarium stationed prominently in his living room. The 31-year-old comedian, known for his time on Saturday Night Live, returned home after a four-month stay at a rehabilitation center to this hefty surprise.
During an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Davidson confessed, “I think I made that decision when I wasn’t really paying attention.” He revealed that his excitement quickly turned into a reality check when he discovered the demands of fish care. “When I got home, there was a guy cleaning it, and I was like, ‘Oh, is this like once every six months you’ve gotta come by?’ And he goes, ‘Oh no, this is two or three times a week for the rest of your life,’” he shared, painting a stark picture of the maintenance struggles he never anticipated.
The placement of the tank has also proven to be an inconvenience. “It’s awkward because that’s where the front door is. So I have to warn people like, ‘Don’t open the door, because you’ll break it,’” Davidson lamented. This unpleasant situation adds a layer of difficulty to his already overwhelming new responsibility.
As the comedian adapts to this unexpected aspect of his life, it remains to be seen how these maintenance struggles will impact his daily routine and overall peace at home. The intersection of humor and anxiety in Davidson’s fish tank saga encapsulates the unpredictable nature of pet ownership.
