Jokes About the Staten Island Ferry
“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,” Colin Jost said amid laughter as Davidson rolled into the shot.
Davidson responded playfully:
“Colin, you’re looking great as ever. [Michael] Che, starting to crack.”
Lighthearted Remarks
Davidson touched on various topics, including his upcoming fatherhood and performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival.
“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 joked. “I assume that’s what the article says. I can’t spend $5 on a paywall when I got a kid on the way.”
Ferry Nickname and Sponsorship
The two traded humorous comments about the ferry's new name and its role in advertising.
“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,” Davidson said.
“That’s right, and it’s actually going very well,” Jost added. “Recently, we got paid by Nike to put an ad on it for the New York City Marathon.”
