Pete Davidson returned to Saturday Night Live to joke about the struggling ferry business he started with Colin Jost. He playfully referenced the word ‘barge’ as a nod to their situation. Davidson addressed a recent New York Timesarticle that called the venture a “money-losing fiasco” during the “Weekend Update” segment. He jokingly blamed his performance at a comedy festival in Saudi Arabia on the ferry draining all their funds, adding he couldn’t afford to read the full article because of a paywall.
