- Introduced by Colin Jost, Davidson popped into Weekend Update to riff on a New York Times report that labeled their Staten Island ferry project a money‑losing fiasco.
- He joked they are “losing millions” on the decommissioned ferry bought at auction in 2022 for about $280,100, said they renamed it Titanic II, and noted a recent Nike ad on the vessel for the New York City Marathon.
- Addressing his Riyadh Comedy Festival appearance, he quipped that ferry losses explain why he performed in Saudi Arabia.
- On air he said he has “a kid on the way,” referencing his upcoming first child with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt.
