SNL‘s Colin Jost acted as a surfing correspondent in Tahiti during the 2024 Paris Olympics, but noticeably left early before the final events took place. The 42-year-old comedian went viral a few times while in Tahiti, notably for repeatedly injuring himself while there. Upon arriving, Colin actually hurt his foot on some coral reef. That foot issue ended up resulting in a staph infection. He also wound up with an ear infection. Keep reading to find out more… Colin uploaded a humorous video to Instagram from the country of Malta, sharing, “‘Dude, are you OK?’ That’s the number 1 text message I’ve received in the past 48 hours. Usually followed by, ‘Heard your foot fell off.’” “Well, I’m actually fine, and despite what big media conspiracies would have you believe, I wasn’t ‘sent home’ from the Olympics. NBC simply looked at my foot, declared me legally a leper, and exiled me here, to the island of Malta!” Colin added. “But the real reason I’m in Malta of course is because it was the site of 10 separate bubonic plague outbreaks so they thought I would fit right in,” Colin added. There are reports that Colin‘s wife, Scarlett Johansson, is filming the upcoming Jurassic World movie in Malta, which would explain why he’s visiting! Scarlett‘s co-star in the film, Jonathan Bailey, actually commented on Colin‘s video (embedded below), writing, “Sensational.”
