Another torpedo hits Colin Jost, Pete Davidson’s Staten Island Ferry project

Colin Jost and Pete Davidson’s Staten Island Ferry dreams are so far underwater they apparently can’t even pay their lawyers.

The “Saturday Night Live” pair, along with their partner, comedy club owner Paul Italia, owe $13,500 to a downtown law firm, which filed a lawsuit this week to recoup the debt after years of waiting, court records showed.

The trio hired Nicoletti, Hornig Namazi Eckert & Sheehan to handle dockage and towing contracts when they bought the decommissioned John F. Kennedy at auction in March 2022 for $280,000.

They renamed the vessel the Titanic 2, and plan to convert it into a $34 million entertainment venue — but have been treading water ever since.

“There has been no reason given by Titanic 2/Mr. Italia for the non-payment,” Nicoletti attorney Val Wamser told The Post. “We have received no response to our repeated efforts to obtain payment for the legal services rendered.”

The firm hasn’t done any work for the trio since April 2022, Wamser said. The original bill was more than $27,000 but only partial payments have been made, according to the Manhattan Supreme Court legal papers.

Italia did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

Staten Island-bred Jost and Davidson “were unaware of this as they don’t handle the day to day business operations of the ferry,” a source told The Post.

The fate of the project has predictably turned into the butt of numerous jokes, as Jost recently admitted buying the seaside sensation was “absolutely the dumbest and least thought-through purchase I’ve ever made in my life.”

In January Jost appeared on the “Today Show” with actress wife Scarlett Johansson in a sketch debating whether they should sell the ferry for scrap, and last month, he made a rare appearance in an SNL sketch begging someone to take the maritime mess off his hands.
