Pete Davidson Returns to SNL to Roast His & Colin Jost's Ferry Venture
Pete Davidson, who used to be on Saturday Night Live, went back to the show to talk with his friend Colin Jost.
They bought an old ferry boat a while back and wanted to make it into a fun place, but Pete joked that it's losing a lot of money.
He even said they renamed it 'Titanic II' because the old name sounded too sad.
Pete also made a joke about how he's more excited to be a dad than he ever was about the ferry.
Colin tried to say things were going well with the ferry, mentioning a new sponsor.
They both made jokes about how sometimes things in the news aren't as bad as they seem.
Pete Davidson returned to Saturday Night Live's 'Weekend Update' to discuss his and Colin Jost's Staten Island Ferry venture.
Davidson joked that the decommissioned ferry, purchased in 2022, is a 'money-losing fiasco'.
The ferry has been renamed 'Titanic II', a name chosen to sound less depressing than its original.
Jost, in contrast to Davidson's jokes, stated that the venture is 'going very well' and mentioned a Nike sponsorship.
Davidson also made jokes about fatherhood and alluded to the Epstein list in his closing remarks.
