Colin Jost Gives Foot Update After Leaving Olympics Job Due to Injury

Colin Jost, the comedian and "Saturday Night Live" star, took to Instagram on Sunday to provide a humorous update following his departure from the NBC Olympics coverage in Tahiti due to a foot injury and other health issues. In a video filmed against the picturesque backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea in Malta, Jost reassured fans, stating, “Well, I’m actually fine!” He humorously noted his financial losses at a nearby casino, quipping that he had spent the earnings from his time as a surfing correspondent. Despite his jovial demeanor, Jost revealed that he had sustained a cut on his foot from a coral reef while covering the surfing competition. In a candid interview, he shared that he had also developed an ear infection, leading to a regimen of multiple medications. “I’m now on three different medications — four if you count piña coladas,” he joked, showcasing his characteristic wit even in the face of adversity. Jost's unexpected health challenges prompted a change in correspondents, with Bradnam stepping in to fill his role. In a light-hearted exchange, Bradnam admitted he was initially unaware of Jost's identity, illustrating the comedian's unique position in the world of sports reporting. Concluding his update, Jost expressed optimism for future events, stating, “Signing off from Tahiti in Malta for the Paris Olympics, I’m Colin Jost. I will see you at the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles.”
