Pete Davidson Surprises on SNL to Discuss Ferry Purchase with Colin Jost
Pete Davidson unexpectedly appeared on Saturday Night Live during the “Weekend Update” segment, introduced by Colin Jost to address a recent article about a Staten Island Ferry they bought together.
“The New York Times recently ran an article calling the Staten Island Ferry that I purchased with Pete Davidson a ‘money losing fiasco.’ With more on this, is Pete Davidson,” Jost said with a laugh as Davidson rolled into the shot.
Davidson greeted Jost and joked about various topics, including his participation in the Riyadh Comedy Festival and expecting a child soon.
“So yeah, in case you’re wondering why I had to do a show in Saudi Arabia, we’re losing millions on this ferry,” he quipped. “I assume that’s what the article says. I can’t spend $5 on a paywall when I got a kid on the way.”
They exchanged jokes about the ferry, including its new name:
- Pete Davidson: “We even gave the boat a new name, you know. We thought the Staten Island Ferry sounded too depressing, so now it’s called the Titanic 2.”
- Colin Jost: “That’s right, and it’s actually going very well. Recently, we got paid by Nike to put an ad on it for the New York City Marathon.”
The humorous segment highlighted their playful take on the ferry venture and Davidson’s upcoming fatherhood.
