Colin Jost, a star on “SNL,” is currently in Tahiti covering Olympic surfing for NBC. He recently shared a photo of his injured foot, which he hurt on some coral shortly after arriving. Jost, an avid surfer, injured his toes while trying to catch some waves. Despite his injury, he has been taking it in stride and joking about his situation, mentioning he has been spending a lot of time at the Olympic medical tent.
Jost revealed that his injury has not been improving as quickly as he had hoped. The local medical staff has been closely monitoring his foot for signs of infection. Jost humorously mentioned that the staff says they need to see him every day not because they like him, but because of the lack of improvement in his condition. He also made a joke about a staph infection, a type of bacteria that can cause skin infections if not treated promptly.
It is not clear what type of coral caused Jost’s injury, but cuts and scrapes from coral can lead to inflammation or infection and may take an extended amount of time to heal. The injury has not stopped Jost from fulfilling his duties as a reporter, as he has been covering the Olympic surfing competition from the coastal village of Teahupo’o in Tahiti, despite the competition being postponed earlier in the week due to unfavorable surfing conditions. Jost has been optimistic and excited to be witnessing the world’s best surfers compete in such a prestigious event.
While joking about his injury and the effects of the coral reef on his foot, Jost has also been sharing updates with his fans on social media. He has not let the injury dampen his spirits, and continues to provide entertaining coverage of the Olympic surfing competition. Jost’s resilience and sense of humor in the face of adversity have resonated with his fans, who are eagerly awaiting his return to full health and coverage of the remaining events. Despite the setback, Colin Jost remains dedicated to his work and is determined to make the most of his time in Tahiti covering the Olympics.
