""In case you're wondering why I had to do a show in Saudi Arabia - we're losing millions on this ferry,""
""I can't spend five dollars on a paywall when I've got a kid on the way.""
""I definitely prefer having a kid to a ferry,""

In 2022 Pete Davidson and Colin Jost joined a group that purchased a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry. The vessel later hosted a Fashion Week event in 2024. The venture encountered serious logistical hurdles keeping a decades‑old ship afloat and sparked legal disputes. A major news headline dubbed the project the "Staten Island Ferry Fiasco." Davidson addressed the situation on Weekend Update, joking that he performed in Saudi Arabia because the ferry was losing millions and saying he had not paid to read the coverage because he has a child on the way. Jost and Davidson traded jokes about preferring a child to a ferry, possible new names including "Titanic 2," and poked fun at longtime SNL producer Lorne Michaels.
