“They referred to as Titanic 2 the ship of desires”… is one thing I’d say if the leisure venue owned by SNL buddies Colin Jost and Pete Davidson wasn’t continuously beleaguered by metaphorical icebergs. With the 2025 TV schedule leaving some of us to query Jost’s SNL future, the summer season break for NBC’s landmark late night time sequence has seen one more setback added to Titanic 2’s already unusual historical past.
Sadly, on this most up-to-date instance supplied by The New York Submit, the impediment is one that’s authorized in nature. Extra particularly, this pitfall comes from the regulation agency of Nicoletti, Hornig Namazi Eckert & Sheehan, the entity Jost and Davidson employed “to deal with dockage and towing contracts” for his or her waterlogged funding. Apparently these companies led to an alleged debt of $13,500, one which the agency has taken authorized motion to gather.
Bought in March 2022, the previous Staten Island Ferry vessel has been a little bit of an albatross for all concerned, together with Colin Jost and Pete Davidson’s third companion, Paul Italia. Naturally a purchase order this huge (and this exterior the field) is one thing individuals are going to wish to preserve tabs on, and Davidson’s replace from this previous February put the leisure vacation spot “loads nearer than individuals appeared to suppose.”
That’s an admittedly rosier image than was supplied a month prior, through which fundraising and the formation of a plan for the Tommy Hilfiger Trend Present’s 2024 venue (previously named “John F. Kennedy”) had been nonetheless very a lot within the works. Then once more, sinking $280k on any form of funding, and never making substantial progress three years later has to harm, regardless of who you’re.
It actually has given individuals gasoline for jokes that take some parting pictures at Colin Jost’s co-investor standing once in a while. After all, some of the latest situations got here from Scarlett Johansson’s TODAY trolling from this previous April.
Although if you happen to watch that clip for your self, you possibly can see it is solely half trolling, with the rest being the priority of a loving companion.
At this level it might seem that greater than a GoFundMe web page can be wanted to settle the home and get issues ship form. Or perhaps Amazon can sweep in and switch the Titanic 2 into the brand new dwelling stage for Colin Jost’s Pop Tradition Jeopardy internet hosting gig, together with the entire buying and leisure he and Pete Davidson keep in mind. That’s, if NBC does not wish to make a counteroffer and host some SNL episodes from a stage that is actually a fluid surroundings.
We’ll must see what occurs with this story because it develops, however that shouldn’t cease you from watching Saturday Night time Stay reruns – with the entire Season 50 now streaming with a Peacock subscription. Season 51 will premiere on October 4th, and will or could not characteristic at the least a handful of jokes that tastefully sort out this delicate topic.
