Comedian Pete Davidson has shared his reflections on experiencing the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks as a father, a milestone that carries deep personal significance. His father, firefighter Scott Matthew Davidson, died in the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001, when he was 33. Davidson welcomed a daughter, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, in December with his former partner, model Elsie Hewitt, and named her in honor of his late father. This year, as Davidson reaches the age his father was when he died, he described the anniversary as both challenging and healing, marking a unique moment of reflection and connection. Davidson recalled learning about his father's death from a television broadcast when he was seven years old, after weeks of uncertainty following the 2001 terrorist attacks. At the time, his mother had told him he was "grounded" and "not allowed to watch TV," but he saw his father on the news and learned he was among the firefighters who had died. His younger sister, Casey, was just three years old when their father perished while trying to save lives in the World Trade Center. This year, Davidson is hosting a comedy benefit at Madison Square Garden on September 10 with comedian Jon Stewart to raise funds for 9/11 first responders and their families. He described the anniversary as "extra tough" but also "extra beautiful" because he gets to spend the day with his daughter, Scottie, and called it "very healing and special." He said he is still figuring out how to explain his father's death to his daughter but is excited to share stories, videos, and pictures of his father with her as she grows up. Davidson and Elsie Hewitt, who are no longer a couple, agreed on naming their daughter after his late father, showing a shared commitment to honoring his memory. Though they split shortly after their daughter's birth, they remain united in their decision to pass on the legacy of Scott Matthew Davidson, who was dispatched to the World Trade Center after a second hijacked plane hit the south tower. For Davidson, this anniversary is a deeply personal journey of remembrance, healing, and passing on the story of his father to a new generation.
