Colin Jost Was Sober When He Bought Staten Island Ferry
You may have heard the news that Colin Jost and Pete Davidson are the proud owners of a decommissioned Staten Island ferry.
But in case you missed it, the Saturday Night Live pals and Staten Island natives purchased the ferry during an auction last year for $280,100.
Although the pair had plans to turn the boat into an entertainment venue, there’s been no updates about what’s going on with the project.
And when Pete was recently asked about the 300-foot vessel, he admitted he had no idea what was happening.
“I have no idea what’s going on with that thing,” he told Entertainment Tonight, adding that he hoped it hadn’t sunk.
He continued, “Me and Colin were very stoned a year ago and bought a ferry. And we’re figuring it out.”
Meanwhile, Colin just clarified that he actually wasn’t stoned at all — which he thinks might make the whole thing worse.
“Is it worse that I was actually stone-cold sober when we bought the ferry?” Colin wrote in response to a headline about the venture.
He added, “We’re excited to prove the non-believers wrong. You’re going to be BEGGING to get on this ferry in two years. Mark my words.”
Colin then joked that his upcoming standup tour was going to help finance the ferry, which is apparently in need of some work.
Fingers crossed Pete and Colin can get things up and running!
