Colin Jost Reveals Scarlett Johansson’s Priceless Reaction to His Staten Island Ferry Purchase

Colin Jost, best known for his witty commentary on *Saturday Night Live*, recently opened up about one of his most unusual purchases: a Staten Island ferry. In early 2022, Jost, along with fellow comedian Pete Davidson, made headlines after buying the decommissioned ferry for $280,000. Naturally, fans were curious about how Jost's wife, actress Scarlett Johansson, reacted to this out-of-the-box investment.

In a recent interview, Jost shared that Johansson was surprisingly supportive of his decision, even if it wasn’t the most conventional purchase. "When I first told her, she kind of paused, then asked, ‘So, what’s the plan here?’" Jost said with a laugh. “But she knows how much Staten Island means to me, and she’s always supportive of the things I care about.”

Johansson, known for her roles in blockbuster franchises like *The Avengers*, didn’t immediately see the ferry’s potential as a floating entertainment venue but trusted Jost’s vision. "She definitely didn’t think we needed a ferry in our lives, but she saw that it was something I was passionate about. In the end, she was on board—literally," Jost joked.

The purchase, made with the goal of turning the aging ferry into a unique arts and entertainment space, highlights the couple’s down-to-earth nature. While both Jost and Johansson are used to the glitz and glam of Hollywood, the ferry is a nod to Jost’s roots in Staten Island and a testament to the couple’s ability to support each other’s endeavors, however unconventional they may be.

Fans of the duo love hearing these glimpses into their life, proving that even A-list celebrities can find joy in quirky investments and shared dreams. And with Johansson’s laid-back reaction to the ferry, it’s clear that this power couple is ready to sail through any adventure together.
