"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,"
"Hey, Staten Islanders, did you promise to move out of New York if Mamdani won but have too many warrants for New Jersey and not enough guns for Florida? Well, welcome to New Staten Island,"
Pete Davidson appeared on Saturday Night Live and joked that the Staten Island ferry purchase is costing them millions. Davidson and Colin Jost bought a decommissioned Staten Island ferry in 2022 for $280,100 with plans to convert it into a floating comedy club. Reports describe the venture as a money-losing fiasco and both comedians have expressed regret about the investment. Jost noted some revenue after Nike paid to place an ad on the ferry during the New York City Marathon. Davidson referenced performing in Saudi Arabia and his impending fatherhood while joking about repurposing the ferry as a tiny "New Staten Island."
