Colin Jost, Pete Davidson finally hosting comedy nights on abandoned ferry
A.V. Club • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The recent comedy show on a Snapple-branded ferry, purchased by SNL stars Pete Davidson and Colin Jost, was noted for its unusual setting and lack of actual comedy sets from the hosts.
- Reviewers and the hosts themselves acknowledged the oddity of performing on a muggy, un-air-conditioned ferry that was previously contaminated with asbestos.
- Davidson and Jost have faced criticism for their $280,000 purchase and the high costs of maintaining the ferry docked in New York Harbor for years, with Davidson responding defiantly and Jost using dark humor.
- Despite the challenges, the Snapple investment has had some positive outcomes, including the reintroduction of Snapple beverages in glass bottles in select New York locations.
- The overall sentiment reflects a mix of humor, frustration, and a hint of commercial benefit stemming from the unconventional venture.
