Pete Davidson<\/strong> was in a smoky haze when he came to a potentially lucrative discovery … which is why he bought up thousands of VHS tapes in the hopes of turning a profit.<\/p>\n The ‘SNL’ alum and upcoming host shared his side hustle theory on Tuesday’s episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” … saying he got pretty high one night and, according to him, bought the 3,000 to 5,000 sealed tapes that still exist.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jimmy<\/strong>‘s audience had a laugh, with Pete claiming they all sounded like his mom, but his stoned move might be promising … pointing out 2026 will mark 20 years since the last VHS was made — and retro fads almost always make good cash.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That’s not all — Pete says sealed copies like his are making up to $30k EACH lately, and a rare edition of a “Rocky” VHS scored $27,500 earlier this year at auction … so the comedian’s in a pretty sweet spot if the demand keeps goin’ up.<\/p>\n Apart from Pete’s VHS monopoly, he’s also slated to host the season 49 premiere of “Saturday Night Live” this weekend — the first show back since the writer’s strike<\/strong> pulled the plug on the end of last season when he was originally supposed to host.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pete reunited with his ‘SNL’ pals for dinner Tuesday night ahead of Saturday’s show … dining with Kenan Thompson<\/strong>, Colin Jost<\/strong>, Chloe Fineman<\/strong>, Heidi Gardner<\/strong>, Punkie Johnson<\/strong>, and even head honcho, Lorne Michaels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n BTW, Tuesday night is usually writing night for the ‘SNL’ crew, so the late-night grub might’ve been after hours of script work — but they still took time out to snap some pics with fans!<\/p>\n
