The Simpsons Skewers Colin Jost's Ferry Fiasco
29 Sep
Summary
- Colin Jost voiced himself in The Simpsons' Season 38 premiere.
- The episode featured a gag about Jost and Davidson's ferry purchase.
- A children's book parody about the ferry received groans from kids.
Colin Jost recently appeared as himself in the premiere episode of The Simpsons' 38th season, titled "The Children's Book Job." This marked his first official voice role on the show, following an earlier on-screen cameo in Season 31. The segment centered on a self-deprecating joke about Jost and Pete Davidson's 2022 purchase of a Staten Island Ferry.
The episode highlighted a parody children's book written by Jost, titled "Cap'n Colin And His Fabulous Ferry" with Bosun Pete, inspired by their ferry venture. However, the humor stemmed from the Springfield youths reacting with groans and complaints when Jost read the book's title, indicating their unimpressed opinion of the ferry's "fabulousness."
This latest comedic take on the ferry saga comes after numerous jokes on platforms like "Weekend Update" and interviews. The ferry itself has seen recent positive developments, including a transformation into a floating comedy club for a Snapple partnership in mid-September of 2026. This venture appeared successful, with even Scarlett Johansson reportedly holding a more favorable view of the ferry than the animated youths.
