If you’re going to send a celebrity into space, who better than Pete Davidson — the comedian, “Saturday Night Live” star and all-around Gen Z icon who spends much of his time playing spaced-out characters — anyway?

The news was first broken by The New York Post’s Page Six, which cited an unnamed source close to Davidson who said the comedian is in talks with Bezos to join one of his upcoming Blue Origin space flights.
“Pete is excited,” the source told Page Six. “They haven’t signed a contract yet, but it looks like it’s going to happen. The details are being finalized. He got on really well with Jeff when they met.”

Celebrity space flights are certainly nothing new. Both Michael Strahan and William Shatner have taken part in previous Blue Origin missions.
