(CNN) "Saturday Night Live" comedian Pete Davidson joked about his troubling Instagram post that led to a police wellness check as part of a "Weekend Update" segment late Saturday night.

The segment focused on Davidson and comedian John Mulaney mocking the absurdity of the Clint Eastwood movie "The Mule."

"I've been spending time with Pete to try to show him you can have a life in comedy that is not insane. A sober, domestic life," Mulaney said.

"Yeah and after observing John's life, I publicly threatened suicide," Davidson said. "I'm sorry I know I shouldn't make that joke, but it is funny."

"Pete, look at me, look me in the eye: You are loved by many, and we are glad you are okay," Mulaney said. "Now back to 'The Mule.'"
