On 'Weekend Update,' Pete Davidson Says His Ferry Dreams Are Still Afloat
"Pete Davidson barged back into Saturday Night Live to talk about his ferry venture with Colin Jost. Get it, barge? Anyway, Davidson addressed what the New York Times called his and Jost's "money-losing fiasco" on "Weekend Update." He blamed his appearance at the Riyadh Comedy Festival on the ferry gobbling up all his money. "I assume that's what the article says," Davidson continued. "I can't spend $5 on a paywall.""
"He suggested folks who are upset that Zohran Mamdani won should colonize the ferry as "New Staten Island." That's one way to leave New York. Davidson said he and Jost made some money when Nike paid them to put up an ad during the NYC Marathon. "If Lorne Michaels has taught us anything, it's that you never ever give up. Even if everyone says the time has come and Tina Fey is ready to take over.""
Pete Davidson returned to Saturday Night Live to address his ferry venture with Colin Jost. He mentioned that the ferry was called a "money-losing fiasco" and said the project consumed his funds, forcing him to accept a Riyadh Comedy Festival gig. He joked that he could not afford a $5 paywall. He displayed a new mustache and suggested critics of Zohran Mamdani should colonize the ferry as "New Staten Island." He said he and Jost earned some revenue from a Nike ad during the NYC Marathon. He invoked Lorne Michaels and urged persistence despite talk of Tina Fey taking over.
