SNL: Kim Kardashian kisses Pete Davidson in ‘hilarious’ Aladdin sketch

NBC/Still

The second episode of the new season of Saturday Night Live saw Kim Kardashian hosting and Halsey as the evening’s musical guest.

Kardashian kicked off the show by delivering a monologue that may viewers on social media were quick to praise, with jokes about OJ Simpson, her family and Kanye West.

Soon after, her Aladdin sketch with Pete Davidson earned more praise from viewers, with fans calling the sketch “hilarious” and another joking “it needs to come to Disney Plus.” A third Twitter user said: “SNL just hit a home run with this sketch.”

The pair went for a magic carpet ride in the clouds as Davidson’s prince admitted princess Kardashian was a little too “clingy”.
