- Davidson made an unannounced Weekend Update appearance on Nov. 8 to answer a New York Times piece calling the ferry venture a “money‑losing fiasco.”
- He quipped they are “losing millions,” linked his Riyadh Comedy Festival set to covering costs, and mentioned he has a baby on the way with Elsie Hewitt.
- Jost said the project is “going very well,” citing payment from Nike to place a New York City Marathon ad on the vessel.
- The pair bought the decommissioned ferry at a 2022 auction for $280,100 to turn it into an entertainment venue, which the Times reported is no closer to being realized.
- Davidson ribbed and praised SNL boss Lorne Michaels on-air after telling People he would return to the show if Michaels asked.
