Hes back!

Pete Davidson made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live, where he was introduced by Colin Jost during the Weekend Update segment to address a recent article about a ferry they purchased together years ago.

The New York Times recently ran an article calling the Staten Island Ferry that I purchased with Pete Davidson a money losing fiasco. With more on this, is Pete Davidson, Jost said in between laughs as Davidson rolled into the shot.

Colin, youre looking great as ever. [Michael] Che, starting to crack, Davidson said, before he went on to joke about a few different topics related to himself, including taking part in the Riyadh Comedy Festival this year and that hes about to become a father. So yeah, in case youre wondering why I had to do a show in Saudi Arabia, were losing millions on this ferry, he joked. I assume thats what the article says. I cant spend $5 on a paywall when I got a kid on the way.

Saturday Night Live SNL (@nbcsnl) November 9, 2025 Jost and Davidson traded jokes about their ferry during the segment. We even gave the boat a new name, you know. We thought the Staten Island Ferry sounded too depressing, so now its called the Titanic 2, The King of Staten Island star said.

Thats right, and its actually going very well, Jost continued. Recently, we got paid by Nike to put an ad on it for the New York City Marathon.

Davidson then took over the bit, poking fun at none other than Lorne Michaels: Exactly. If Lorne Michaels has taught us anything, its that you never ever give up, even if everyone says the time has come and Tina Fey is ready to take over.

Earlier on Saturday, The Pickup actor told People hed do anything for Lorne, adding that he would return to show if the SNL boss asked him to.

I had a great time hosting last time, and anytime you get that call, its an honor and a privilege, he added. Its always relevant, its a hot show. People look forward to it, and thecastis great.

Davidson served as an SNL cast member from 2014-2022. He has since returned to host the sketch comedy series, and has made several cameos over the years.

Nikki Glaser hosted Saturday nights episode, while Sombr joined as musical guest.
