He didn’t give in to pier pressure.
Unlike Pete Davidson, Colin Jost wasn’t smoking ganja when he and his former “Saturday Night Live” co-star decided to purchase a decommissioned Staten Island ferry.
“Is it worse that I was actually stone-cold sober when we bought the ferry?” Jost wrote on Instagram Wednesday alongside a screenshot of Pvnew’s coverage of Davidson’s claim that the comedians were “very stoned” when they made the nautical purchase in January 2022.
Jost continued, “We’re excited to prove the non-believers wrong. You’re going to be BEGGING to get on this ferry in two years. Mark my words.”
The “Weekend Update” co-host also used the opportunity to promote his upcoming “Ferry Money Tour” stops in Texas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois, which he teased will include “some very special guests.”
“Come on by,” he urged his followers.
Jost, 40, then poked fun at a badly Photoshopped poster he designed for his stand-up tour that looked like it was made by a kindergarten student, writing, “I do my own graphic design if you want me to take your brand to new heights I can get you millons [sic].”
The “A Very Punchable Face” author’s clarification on his sober decision to go in on the ferry with Davidson came after the “Bupkis” star, 29, claimed they were both high when they made the questionable investment.
“Me and Colin were very stoned a year ago and bought a ferry,” Davidson told “Entertainment Tonight” during a red carpet interview last week.
The funnymen — who bought the vessel for $280,000 with the help of other investors — had planned to turn it into an event space.
However, the project has been stalled for unknown reasons.
“I have no idea what’s going on with that thing,” Davidson admitted, adding that he and Jost were “figuring it out.”
The “Meet Cute” actor then joked, “Hopefully it turns into a Transformer and gets the f—k out of there so I can stop paying for it.”
When they first acquired the floater, Davidson expressed the sentimental value that it held for him and Jost.
“We used to take that ferry to do stand-up all the time,” he said in a video obtained by The Post last year, falsely predicting at the time, “In a year, it’ll be a comedy club restaurant.”
