Key Points:
- Comedian Pete Davidson bluntly urged New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to fix the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE), criticizing the prolonged construction and lack of visible progress.
- Mamdani responded by outlining the city’s $4 billion BQE Central Project, scheduled to begin construction in 2030, aiming to repair the most at-risk sections without diverting traffic into local neighborhoods.
- Davidson expressed frustration over the decades-long construction, noting workers often appear inactive, and called for accountability in the project’s management.
- In a separate interview, Davidson revealed he is removing most of his nearly 200 tattoos for personal and professional reasons but will keep his tattoo of Hillary Clinton, whom he admires and considers a friend.
- Mamdani, a Democratic socialist and newly sworn-in mayor as of January, won the NYC mayoral race last November through grassroots campaigning and social media support.
