Colin Jost, known for his work on Saturday Night Live, recently shared his wife's reaction to his surprising purchase of a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry for $280,000. When he informed Scarlett Johansson about the acquisition, her response was simply 'We?', highlighting her surprise at the unusual investment. The ferry, named John F. Kennedy, was part of the Staten Island Ferry fleet and is now set to be converted into a large entertainment venue, with plans for a restaurant, concert space, movie theater, and even hotel-style rooms. Jost candidly admitted that he considered this purchase to be 'the dumbest and least thought-through' decision he has ever made, although he noted that it is beginning to generate returns through private events. Development is projected to take several years, with Pete Davidson, Jost's partner in the venture, estimating that it could take up to five years to complete. The ferry may also be relocated to Miami during winter months. Jost's father had a similarly cautious reaction, questioning whether his son had 'finished his homework' before making such a decision. The full details of this venture will be discussed in an upcoming episode of the Smartless podcast, set to release on May 4.
