The troubled saga of the decommissioned Staten Island Ferry boat that comedian Pete Davidson purchased for $280,000 in 2022 with Saturday Night Live costar Colin Jost has hit yet another snag.
Jost has said his decision to acquire the MV John F. Kennedy was “absolutely the dumbest and least thought-through purchase I’ve ever made in my life.” Davidson has also expressed remorse over the impulse buy, saying the two were “very stoned” when they successfully bid for the 60-year-old vessel that had been retired from passenger service six months earlier.
