Colin Jost Says Scarlett Johansson Supports Ferry From a Distance
Colin Jost says Scarlett Johansson is supportive of his Staten Island Ferry venture but not an active investor, as the boat hosts a Tommy Hilfiger show.
Colin Jost has clarified Scarlett Johansson's role in the Staten Island Ferry he bought with Pete Davidson. According to comingsoon.net, Jost said his wife is supportive of the ferry "from a distance" and is not an active investor.
Jost and Davidson purchased the ferry at auction in 2022 for $280,000, partnering with comedy club owner Paul Italia. The pair later performed a one-night comedy show on the vessel in collaboration with Snapple.
The ferry has since expanded beyond comedy. In 2024, it hosted a Tommy Hilfiger fashion show, marking another high-profile event for the retired boat.
Jost and Johansson met in 2006 at SNL and married in 2020. While Johansson remains a supportive observer of the ferry project, Jost's comments suggest she prefers to keep her distance from the day-to-day operations.
