Colin Jost desperately tries to sell his Staten Island ferry

Colin Jost's hilarious SNL sketch just lifted the lid on his plans for his Staten Island ferry.

The actor, 42, featured in a recent Saturday Night Live sketch from the May 3 episode where he regretted his big purchase.

The sketch, titled "Ferry Altercation," also featured host Quinta Brunson, 35, and cast member Mikey Day, 45, revolving around two angry drivers insulting each other with exaggerated hand gestures after a parking issue on a ferry.

Chloe Fineman, 36, also starred as Day’s daughter and car passenger.

Jost participated at the end of the skit when Day said the aggressive encounter left him upset because he usually "loves the ferry," to which the Weekend Update co-host appeared from the passenger side of the car with his hands against the window as he peered inside.

"Hey!" he exclaimed. "You said you love ferries? If you love ferries, would you like to buy one?" Fineman then gasped and said, "Oh my god," as Jost persisted.

"Is that Colin Jost?" she asked. "Yes, that’s Colin Jost. Don’t make eye contact," Day said, also telling Jost, "We’re good, man."

"Please buy it," Jost continued to beg. As the two ignored him, he tried a different method. "Hey! Hi! I’m Pete Davidson, hi," he said, still at the car window.

Jost bought MV John F. Kennedy, a decommissioned Staten Island ferry boat, by teaming up with former SNL cast member Davidson and The Stand comedy club owner Paul Italia. Both Jost and Davidson were born in Staten Island.

The comedian previously made a cameo on the January 22 broadcast of Today with Jenna & Friends, guest hosted by his wife, actress Scarlett Johansson. During his appearance, she jokingly suggested he should sell the ferry.

"All I can say is if anybody out there would like to start a GoFundMe for the Staten Island Ferry, please be my guest," Johansson, 40, joked.

"I don’t know if I’m speaking for the Staten Island Ferry or against it, but help our family. This has now become a telethon for Support the Staten Island Ferry."

Jost was quick to defend his purchase, telling viewers that it will eventually bring in the big bucks.

In September 2024, Jost told People Magazine that his ferry purchase was not his smartest move.
