'SNL' star Colin Jost says buying Staten Island ferry with Pete Davidson was 'dumb' purchase

This investment did not float his boat.

“Saturday Night Live” star Colin Jost called buying a decommissioned Staten Island ferry “the dumbest and least thought-out purchase I've ever made in my life.”

The Weekend Update anchor revealed her crush on People magazine at the Tommy Hilfiger show during New York Fashion Week, which Boondoggle—aka John F. Kennedy was held.

Jost and fellow Staten Islander and SNL cast member Pete Davidson purchased the retired vessel at auction in 2022 for $280,000. The partnership, which includes architect and developer Ron Castellano and comedy club owner Paul Italia, reportedly plans to convert it into a $34 million entertainment complex. place

Added Jost: “The way I justify it is the amount of money we're spending to buy it, just on a basic square-footage level, if you find the right place for it, you're basically buying a building that's 65,000 square feet on the side. So around New York, that's a very good price per square foot.”

Page Six exclusively reported last week that the “very stoned” end may have a purpose when the orange elephant dynamic SNL duo allegedly bought.

On Sunday, their MV JFK Ferry hosted Hilfiger's fashion show, long a flagship event of the week.

Castellano told Travel + Leisure that it could become a boutique cruise ship, sailing between New York and Miami.

Jost seemed conflicted about the boat, which rocked during the Hilfiger extravaganza that ended with a surprise performance by three members of the Wu-Tang group — also from Staten Island.

“I never thought it was a money pit, you know, it costs money,” Celeb later told Alexa. “I always believed it would be something really fun. I thought tonight was really fun!
