Colin Jost Updates Fans on His Whereabouts During 2024 Olympics

Colin Jost, the popular Saturday Night Live star, recently provided a lighthearted update on his experiences during the 2024 Olympics, following reports that NBC had found a replacement for him as their surfing correspondent. Despite a series of unfortunate events that led to his early departure from Tahiti, Jost humorously clarified that he was not “sent home” but rather “exiled” by NBC. While he may have left the Olympic scene, Jost maintained a positive outlook, sharing his current adventures in Malta. He joked about the lack of Olympians in the area, noting the presence of numerous British teenagers competing in drinking contests. He also mentioned a casino where he had spent some of his earnings from his correspondent role, showcasing his ability to find humor in his situation. Jost also addressed his health issues, revealing that his foot injury from coral while surfing was healing well. He shared a photo of his bandaged foot, humorously noting that he had visited the Olympic medical tent more than any athlete. In addition to the foot injury, he dealt with a staph infection and an ear infection during his time in Tahiti, yet he continued to report with a sense of humor. In a light-hearted moment during a live check-in with Mike Tirico, Jost quipped about being on multiple medications, including a playful mention of piña coladas, highlighting his resilience and comedic spirit despite the challenges he faced.
