Scarlett Johansson wasn’t having it when her husband, Colin Jost, decided to buy a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry boat for $280,100 four years ago. The ‘Saturday Night Live’ comedian recently shared her savage one-word response to the purchase on his podcast, ‘Smartless’.
The Purchase and Scarlett’s Reaction
Jost revealed that he texted Johansson, saying, ‘Guess what? We own a ferry now.’ To which she responded with a simple, ‘We?’ The ‘Weekend Update’ host had bought the 277-foot ferryboat with former ‘SNL’ co-star Pete Davidson and business partners Paul Italia and Ron Castellano in January 2022.
Davidson claimed that he and Jost were ‘very stoned’ when they purchased the decommissioned vessel at an auction. However, Jost later denied this claim on Instagram, stating that he was ‘stone-cold sober’ during the purchase.
The Ferry’s Future and Jost’s Plans
Jost seemed enthusiastic about the purchase, telling ‘Entertainment Tonight’ that he had no idea what would happen to the ferry but hoped it would ‘turn into a Transformer and get the f—k out of there’ so he could stop paying for it. Despite initial skepticism, Jost expressed excitement about proving the non-believers wrong, stating that people would be ‘BEGGING to get on this ferry in two years.’
The ferry purchase was a significant investment, and it’s clear that not everyone was on board with the decision – especially Johansson. Here are some key facts about the ferry and its purchase:
