Saturday Night Live, as multiple cast members have hailed from there. At present, there are a couple of Staten Island natives amongst the current cast – namely, Pete Davidson and Colin Jost. And recently, the two came together to save the world-renowned ferry system, which also has a connection to Jost's and Scarlett Johansson's wedding.
The two SNL mainstays decided to buy a decommission ferry named John F. Kennedy, according to The New York Post. Colin Jost and Pete Davidson teamed up with fellow New York native and broker Paul Italia to save the piece of Staten Island history.
The trio made an offer of $280,000 for the boat, which the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services accepted. Italia couldn’t hide his excitement as he mentioned he, Colin Jost, and Pete Davidson have plans for the 60-year-old transport boat:That’s a huge undertaking to transform a gigantic vessel into an entertainment center. It could become the next “it” spot for Hollywood’s A-list stars, if decorated and marketed correctly.
Of course, any sea action is out of the question. The Department of Citywide Administrative Services mentioned engine problems would keep the JFK from taking to the water. The three buyers are currently searching for a shipyard to store the ferry until a permanent location is found.
All in all, the vessel is in working order, despite its age, but it still needs some repairs. Colin Jost’s purchase of the ferry shouldn’t be too surprising given his connection to the transportation system. In November 2020, the always-busy Jost married longtime partner Scarlett Johansson in a small ceremony with select family and friends.
