Colin Jost poked fun at the Staten Island Ferry that he and former Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson bought together back in 2022. On May 12's Weekend Update segment, Jost joked:

"This year marks the first time since 2009 that a Marvel movie has not kicked off the summer movie season, which better be a one-time thing because a lot of people rely on Marvel movies to pay for the ferries they bought."

Jost is married to Marvel star Scarlett Johannsen who plays Black Widow in the Avengers films. Fellow ferry owner Pete Davidson, on the other hand, commands an net worth of $8 million, built up from his time in SNL and Hollywood as a comedian, actor, writer, and producer.
