• Jim Carrey, hosting alongside musical guest Iggy Azalea, began striking Davidson with a NERF bat after a single pop laugh to try to revive the performance
• After repeated hits led to genuine pain, Davidson broke character as a zombie and pleaded “Argh, no more”
• Davidson spent eight seasons on SNL through his 2022 exit and recently revisited his early episodes for NBC’s SNL50 docuseries
