At the premiere of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts in Brooklyn, New York Monday night, Davidson, 29, opened up about the boat he and his former Saturday Night Live colleague bought back in January 2022. "I have no idea what's going on with that thing," Davidson, 29, told Entertainment Tonight while shaking his head. "Me and Colin were very stoned a year ago and bought a ferry. And we're figuring it out." Asked if there was an after-party lined up on his Staten Island investment, Davidson replied, "Yeah, if it's not sunk!"Davidson voices the character Mirage in the seventh installment in the Transformers live-action film series, which kicked off with Michael Bay's 2007 film of the same name.

Davidson said to ET at the event, held at the Kings Theatre. He later called it a "windowless van of the sea," a term he previously used when referring to it on SNL's Weekend Update with Jost. "Yes, it's very exciting," Jost quipped sarcastically at the time. "We thought the whole thing through."

Wouldn't be funny if one of these was ours' then they texted me back and circled it and they were like, 'That's actually the one.' "
