Pete Davidson says fatherhood changed views of father’s 9/11 death

"My dad's name was Scott, but his nickname was Scotty.

When she arrived, we both looked at her and were like, 'She looks like a Scottie.' It's nice to keep that name alive."Davidson said this year's anniversary carries a complicated mix of emotions."So, this year is extra tough, but also extra beautiful because I get to spend the day with Scottie.

It'll be very healing and special."Davidson marked the 25th anniversary by co-hosting a comedy benefit with Jon Stewart at Madison Square Garden on September 10, titled "NYC Still Rising After 25 Years: A 9/11 Comedy Benefit," supporting charities that assist first responders and their families.
