Amy Davidson, Pete Davidson's mother, showed her unwavering support for her son by creating a covert Twitter account to defend him against online trolls criticizing his Saturday Night Live performances. During an episode of the "Family Trips With the Meyers Brothers" podcast on June 28th, the 29-year-old comedian shared that his mom took on the persona of @JoeSmith1355 to engage with and counter the negative comments he received during his early years on the show.

Pete humorously suggested that his mom's responses were too detailed to appear as if they came from an unfamiliar person. He shared with Seth Meyers, the host, that it was remarkably specific. He explained, "For instance, she mentioned, 'I've heard he frequently works on self-improvement.'"

Unfortunately, Amy's attempt to deceive was eventually exposed because she overlooked concealing certain details of her account.

"This was the surprising twist. Instead of through investigative efforts, everyone discovered it was my mom when they noticed her username, @JoeSmith, along with her profile name and picture being Amy Davidson. It turned out to be a photo of my mom, accompanied by a username that read @JoeSmith1355, as she fearlessly commented on and defended against all the online haters. She truly had my back, buddy."

Pete, who graced the SNL stage from 2014 to 2022, also disclosed that his mom used to attend the show's renowned afterparties. On certain occasions, she even went without him in order to spend time with her own circle of friends, including Kenan Thompson's mother.

"Her motherly energy is highly contagious and extends beyond her own children," joked Meyers, 49, referring to Amy. "You feel a warm motherly presence from her, even if she's not your own mom."

On the podcast, Pete also provided fans with an update on the progress of the decommissioned Staten Island Ferry that he purchased alongside Colin Jost.

"We have completed all the plans and even had a computer-generated simulation to show what it could look like. We have shared it with a few people, and despite jokingly admitting that we are in debt for the purchase, everything seems to be progressing well. However, it will still take about five years to become a reality."

The ultimate goal is to have the ferry docked in New York City from April to September or October, and then have it towed down to Miami for the winter season. Pete mentioned that there will be various amenities on board, such as a restaurant, concert venue, and movie theater. Additionally, there are plans to include a hotel.

When asked if the ship has a name, Pete disclosed that it will retain the designation of the "Staten Island Ferry" once operational, while legally registered under a different name.

"We humorously referred to it as the Titanic 2 on the LLC during the purchase process," Pete shared, attributing the moniker to Jost. "I can't claim full credit for that."
