"Hello, before I say anything, I just want to say how about a shout-out to Kenan Thompson," Davidson started his speech on stage. "The guy's been in the zone for the past 30 years just making us smile. And he's an absolute treasure. I'm honored to call him a friend. This is really cool."

Fans Noticed Something Odd
However, netizens on Twitter seemed to notice one weird thing during his speech. Throughout his time onstage, Pete's jaw kept noticeably moving sideways, to which people on social media accuse him of having a "coke jaw", which is a physical side effect of using cocaine.
