Pete Davidson’s Surprise Appearance on SNL
Pete Davidson unexpectedly appeared on Saturday Night Live, joining Colin Jost during the “Weekend Update” segment to discuss a Staten Island Ferry they co-own.
Jokes About the Ferry Purchase
“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 as Davidson rolled into the shot.
Davidson responded, “Colin, you’re looking great as ever. [Michael] Che, starting to crack,” then joked about his recent comedy trip and upcoming fatherhood.
Humorous Take on Finances
Davidson quipped, “So yeah, in case you’re wondering why I had to do a show in Saudi Arabia, we’re losing millions on this ferry. I assume that’s what the article says. I can’t spend $5 on a paywall when I got a kid on the way.”
More Ferry Banter
They joked about renaming the ferry:
- Davidson: “We thought the Staten Island Ferry sounded too depressing, so now it’s called the Titanic 2.”
- 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.”

Pete Davidson and Colin Jost used humor on SNL to address the media spotlight on their Staten Island Ferry investment, blending playful banter with insights into their personal lives.
