Comedian couple Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost playfully debated the future of a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry vessel recently purchased by Jost. While Johansson jokingly suggested a GoFundMe campaign for its upkeep, Jost expressed confidence in its future value, envisioning it as a profitable venture. Their playful banter continued with humorous suggestions about the ferry's fate, before Pete Davidson, another partner in the project, revealed plans to transform it into an entertainment venue.
Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost , a married couple known for their comedic banter, recently engaged in a playful debate about Jost's recent purchase of a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry vessel. During the 'Great Debate' segment of their podcast, Johansson jokingly suggested raising funds for the ferry through a GoFundMe campaign, emphasizing the financial burden its upkeep might pose.
'If anybody out there would like to start a GoFundMe for the Staten Island ferry, please be my guest,' Johansson said. 'I don't know if I'm speaking for the Staten Island ferry or against it, but help our family, okay? This has now become a telethon for 'Support the Staten Island ferry.''Jost, who expressed confidence in the ferry's future value, countered with a witty remark. 'I hope you have a good thick pair of gloves at home, because some day you're going to be getting so many paper cuts from all the checks that start rolling in from this ferry,' he quipped. 'It is going to put food on our table.' Johansson, however, envisioned a less conventional outcome, suggesting the ferry could be sold for scrap metal. Their playful exchange continued with Jost playfully proposing that the ferry be allowed to drift aimlessly, highlighting the concerns of their insurers. Pete Davidson, another partner in the project, revealed that they plan to transform the ferry into an entertainment venue. 'We want to be able to dock it from April to September, maybe October, in New York and it will be like a restaurant,' Davidson explained during the podcast. 'There will be a concert venue. There will be a movie theater, upstairs like, sort of, restaurant area. And then there's hotels in it. So we'll have a couple of those. And then in the winter tug it to Miami.' Davidson further clarified that the ambitious project would take several years to materialize, with completion estimated at around five years away.
