Summary
33-year-old Pete Davidson said this year’s 9/11 anniversary feels "way harder" because he is now the age his firefighter father was when he died and has become a father himself.
Last December’s birth of his daughter Scottie — named for his late father, Scott — has reshaped that loss, with Davidson saying he now thinks about what it would mean for his child to grow up without her dad.
Madison Square Garden will host a 25th-anniversary comedy benefit featuring Davidson and Jon Stewart, which Davidson said will help him "reclaim" the day rather than relive it through repeated documentaries.
Davidson, who was 7 on Sept. 11, has said his father’s crew was among the first at the World Trade Center; he still keeps his father’s badge in a safe and is weighing how to one day explain that death to Scottie.
