In October, Davidson appeared with his now-girlfriend Kim Kardashian during a segment for "SNL."
At the time, Davidson has also skipped the "SNL" afterparty at L’Avenue at Saks. John Mulaney reportedly spoke at the party "about how ‘SNL’ can be very cutthroat sometimes," a source told Page Six at the time.
Despite the tensions, Davidson said he still leans on Michaels and even referred to the executive producer as a "father figure."
"He’s the best and has treated me with nothing but love," Davidson raved of Michaels.
Reps for Davidson and NBC respectively did not immediately respond to Daily Post’ request for comment.
