Pete Davidson calls on Mamdani to fix the fking BQE, claims highway workers are never doing anything

Pete Davidson didn’t hold back while delivering a blunt message to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.On Monday night, the 32-year-old comedian appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” where Kimmel, 58, told him that Mamdani, 34, would be his next guest.The late night host then pointed out that Davidson was a “lifelong resident of this city” and asked if he had any questions for the mayor.“Yes, could he fix the “f–king BQE, please?” Davidson said in a clip shared on the show’s Instagram page.The BQE, short for the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, is a major New York City highway that runs through Brooklyn and Queens and has long been criticized for traffic congestion and aging infrastructure.Davidson’s request was immediately met with cheers and thunderous applause from the studio audience.“You hit on something,” Kimmel noted.“Look at that,” Davidson said, gesturing toward the crowd.“That’s the loudest response I’ve ever gotten,” he added with a laugh.The “Saturday Night Live” star went on to explain that his frustration stemmed from the seemingly endless construction and what he described as a lack of visible work at the site.“The BQE has been under construction since before I was born.

And here’s my problem with it,” Davidson said.“They’re never doing anything.

Someone’s just standing there eating a sandwich or on the phone, and there’s all these cones around.”“So I don’t know what mob front or whatever, who’s getting money from whatever, but just fix it, please,” he added.“I’m going ask him about it.I will ask him about it,” Kimmel assured Davidson, who replied, “Yeah, please!” Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.
