The official SNL video description says Davidson stopped by Weekend Update “to discuss him and Colin Jost losing money on their Staten Island ferry.”
What happened on Weekend Update?
Davidson joined Jost on Weekend Update to joke about their ferry venture. The official SNL video description establishes the segment’s premise, while contemporary coverage connects it to reports describing the venture as a “money-losing fiasco.” That phrase is a headline characterization, not a complete financial accounting.

What was the Staten Island Ferry fiasco?
Davidson and Jost bought a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry and planned to repurpose it as an event space, according to TheWrap’s coverage. The reported plan and the losses mentioned in the SNL description are the context for the joke; the available information does not establish the venture’s full costs or final financial outcome.
How much did the ferry cost?
The New York Times reported a purchase price of $280,100 in its 2025 article metadata. That figure is the reported initial purchase price, not a tally of later expenses or the total amount lost. The Times article’s underlying text was not available in the material supporting this account, so no broader financial total can be stated.
