Pete Davidson's Dog Bounty Hunter SNL Skit Divides Fans
Pete Davidson's terrifying and accurate impression of Dog The Bounty Hunter during the Saturday Night Live season premiere has been praised - and criticized - on social media.
The comedian assumed the identity of Duane 'Dog' Chapman during the initial sketch of the episode set at a school board meeting where he appeared, in character, searching for Brian Laundrie. Laundrie is wanted as a person of interest in the murder of his girlfriend Gabby Petito, whose body was found near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming last month.
The 23-year-old is still at large and his parents told authorities they last saw Laundrie on Sept. 17 when he told them he was on his way to a camping trip in the Carlton Reserve.
Dog the Bounty Hunter joined the search for Laundrie last week, vowing to "bring justice" to Petito's family. On Friday, he added $ 10,000 to the $ 180,000 reward offered for any information leading to Laundrie's arrest.
Davidson's current affairs skit, which emerged as part of a sketch poking fun at the recent spate of bizarre school board meetings, received praise from many on Twitter, with some calling for the character to become a regular on the new
"Can it be a recurring sketch? " asked madison_shell3 with a laughing emoji.
