Dan Crenshaw, a Texas congressman-elect who was the target of a badly received joke on Saturday Night Live last week, got a payback opportunity this week, appearing on the show to take some pokes at SNL cast member Pete Davidson.

On Saturday night’s Weekend Update, the hosts introduced Davidson, who apologized for a joke he told about Crenshaw last week. And then Davidson introduced Crenshaw, who was sitting next to him, and gave him the floor.

Crenshaw unloaded a few choice lines before saying he accepted Davidson’s apology. And during the exchange, his phone rang, with a ring tone from Ariana Grande, who until recently was Davidson’s finance. “Do you know her?” Crenshaw asked.

Last week, Davidson mentioned Crenshaw in a segment during Weekend Update next to a photo of Crenshaw, who wears an eye patch because of an injury caused by an IED blast during a mission in Afghanistan. Crenshaw was a member of SEAL Team Three and served five military deployments.

“This guy’s kinda cool, Dan Crenshaw,” Davidson said, next to a picture of Crenshaw. “You may be surprised to hear that he’s a congressional candidate from Texas, and not a hitman in a porno movie.”

He added, “I’m sorry, I know he lost his eye in war, or whatever.”

Crenshaw won election on Tuesday night to succeed U.S. Rep. Ted Poe, R-Houston. He’ll take office in January.
