The couple discussed the future of the $280,000 ferry on 'Today with Jenna & Friends,' with Jost defending its potential as an entertainment venue.

  • Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost debated the fate of the Staten Island ferry Jost purchased with Pete Davidson in 2022 for $280,000.

  • Jost defended the purchase, emphasizing its potential to generate income as a converted entertainment venue, including plans for a restaurant, concert space, and hotel rooms.
