Colin Jost and Pete Davidson are finally hosting comedy nights on that abandoned ferry they bought
Finally: Colin Jost, Pete Davidson, and Snapple have realized their long-held dreams of presenting a comedy show on a disused Staten Island ferry.
In a surprising turn of events, "You probably thought you were done thinking about that abandoned ferry that Colin Jost and Pete Davidson bought in this lifetime?" has finally become a reality. According to Antonio Ferme of Variety, the duo hosted their first comedy nights on the pricey, poorly-maintained Staten Island Ferry back in 2022. Ferme attended the trial run of the new comedy club concept, during which Jost and Davidson made light of the situation, acknowledging the absurdity of their purchase.
The interior of the defunct ferry was described as "muggy" due to lack of air-conditioning, adding to the bizarre experience. Despite the financial investment of $280,000, maintaining the ferry for four years proved to be a costly endeavor. Davidson and Jost, however, appeared to have found solace in the Snapple brand's support, as the beverage was set to return in glass bottles at select locations across New York.
