Sometimes, people indulge in some inebriation and buy things they don’t really need online. However, for two big names, Pete Davidson and Colin Jost, it was a giant boat.
Davidson made an appearance at the premiere of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts at Kings Theatre in New York City recently, and shared a bit about the Staten Island Ferry investment he and Jost made earlier this year in January.
Speaking with ET’s Will Marfuggi, Davidson was asked if he and Jost were planning on hosting an after-party on the boat. Amusingly, Davidson replied, “Yeah, if it’s not sunk!” He went on to say, “Me and Colin were very stoned a year ago and bought a ferry. And we’re figuring it out.” This was followed by a shake of his head while admitting he had no idea what was going on with the ferry.
Davidson even joked about their purchase on an episode of Saturday Night Live in January of this year. During a “Weekend Update” segment, he quipped, “Hey! We bought a ferry, the windowless van of the sea,” while Jost sarcastically added, “Yes, it’s very exciting. We thought the whole thing through.” However, it seems that Davidson might not be as thrilled about the purchase now as he was when he first bought it.
During his recent interview, Davidson was asked again if he was planning on hosting a premiere after-party on the ferry, to which he responded by hoping that it turns into a Transformer and leaves so he wouldn’t have to pay for it anymore. While the comic might not be too happy with the boat, he is thrilled to be part of the Transformers franchise, where he will be providing the voice of the heroic Autobot Mirage.
This seems to be a huge highlight of Davidson’s acting career so far, as he could barely contain his excitement when talking about it. In fact, Davidson said, “Dude, this is crazy. This is crazy! I’ve been going to these movies forever. I am freaked out. I can’t believe I’m talking to you, doing this thing. This is insane! I’m full out-of-body here. I’m so excited and just grateful and everyone who is a part of it has been so nice. And I’m just, I’m excited, dude.”
The premiere was filled with celebrities and excitement. Davidson was not alone in his enthusiasm as the cast and crew were just as excited about the release of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. Of course, not everyone may share their excitement, but the franchise is one that has captured the hearts of millions over the years with its impressive graphics, action, and gripping storyline.
It is noteworthy to mention that, despite Davidson’s misgivings about the ferry, it is a purchase he made with his own money, and he is free to do whatever he desires with it. As for those who are concerned about the impact of such actions, they have to understand that celebrities are entitled to make their own choices – good or bad.
Furthermore, the fact that Davidson and Jost had the means to purchase a ferry highlights their financial success. It is no secret that both celebrities earn quite a substantial amount, and this is proof that they have wisely invested their money.
The concept of investing wisely could be something that we could all take to heart. After all, not everyone can afford a ferry, but saving a little each month and making smart investments can make a big difference. It is an important lesson that people of all political persuasions can appreciate.
These small personal investments are essential to the country’s economic growth and stability, especially in these trying times. The economy is still recovering from the pandemic, and any investment, big or small, can help build towards sustainability over time.
All in all, it doesn’t matter if we are Democrats or Republicans, whether we are in favor of buying ferries or not. The most important thing is to come together, to support one another in our choices, and to appreciate all the good things life has to offer.
In conclusion, much attention was given to Davidson’s ferry purchase mainly due to his massive popularity and high profile. However, he should be applauded for his investment and his success as an entertainer. We should all take a page from his book and invest more into our lives and the economy to pave our way towards a brighter future for all.
It is true that investing wisely should be the norm for everyone who has the means. Whether it is buying a ferry or a house or simply saving every month, a focused approach to investments will pay off over the long term.
In this light, let us take a moment to appreciate Davidson’s enthusiasm for his work and the Transformers franchise. It is entertaining and inspiring to see a successful individual enjoy his career so much. We must all learn to embrace the things that make us happy and bring us joy.
In summary, the purchase of a Staten Island Ferry by Davidson and Jost may have raised some eyebrows, but at the end of the day, it was their choice, and they have the right to make it. Let us all take this as an opportunity to invest in ourselves and our dreams. Invest wisely and keep the positive energy flowing!
The Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is set to release in June, and we cannot wait to watch it. We hope Davidson enjoys his time on his ferry and continues to find success in his career.
