Pete Davidson, 28, and his Saturday Night Live co-star Colin Jost, 39, recently purchased a Staten Island Ferry, which raised a lot of eyebrows. In case you missed it, the comedians and comedy club owner Paul Italia won an auction for a decommissioned 277-foot yacht that served as a commuter ferry between Manhattan and Staten Island from 1965 until it was retired in August.

Pete and Colin understood there was «a lot of work to do» after the sale, but they still have «a lot of ideas.» «This will definitely become a thing in a few years, but they took care of the most crucial thing by acquiring the Ferry.» Now they have all of the time in the world to make this incredible dream of his become a reality.»
While the planning stages are underway, the cast of Saturday Night Live opted to make fun of themselves in the most recent edition of the popular sketch comedy show. Alex Moffat’s popular character «Guy Who Just Bought a Boat» presented Pete to the news desk as «Guy Who Just Bought A Ferry» on Weekend Update.
