Contrary to popular belief, comedian and "Saturday Night Live" co-host Colin Jost's foot is still intact. In a tongue-in-cheek video posted on Instagram, Jost reassured fans that he is fine after an incident during his coverage of the 2024 Olympics surfing events in Tahiti.

Jost, known for his comedic prowess on "Weekend Update," revealed that he suffered a cut on his foot from a coral reef, which unfortunately led to a severe infection. As a result, he had to leave French Polynesia and return to Malta for treatment.

Addressing the concerns of his fans in the video, Jost jokingly mentioned the messages he received about his well-being and the rumors of his foot falling off. He clarified that his departure from the Olympics was not due to being "sent home," but rather a medical decision made by NBC when they deemed him unable to continue covering the events.

While in Malta, Jost shared some humorous anecdotes, including his visits to a local casino where he claimed to have spent the few hundred dollars he earned as a surfing correspondent. Additionally, he humorously mentioned Malta's history of bubonic plague outbreaks, all in good fun to lighten the situation.

Jost expressed his gratitude towards the Tahitian people for their hospitality and their occasional whispers of "Chupacabra!" when talking about his foot. Despite the setback, Jost remains optimistic and grateful for the experience.

During his coverage, Jost shared photos on Instagram documenting his foot injury that occurred on the coral reef. The injury resulted in a staph infection, necessitating regular visits to the medical tent. Jost quipped about spending more time there than the athletes and even joked about the medical staff knowing his name and allergy to penicillin.

Looking ahead, Jost has a busy schedule. He will be returning to "Saturday Night Live" in the fall, entertaining viewers with his comedic talent. Additionally, he has been appointed as the host of the "Pop Culture Jeopardy!" spin-off, which will be exclusively aired on Amazon Prime Video. This collaboration with Sony Pictures Television aims to combine the academic rigor of "Jeopardy!" with the excitement and unpredictability of pop culture.

Despite his unexpected departure from the Olympics, Jost's coverage was well-received, according to NBC. The network mentioned that Jost stayed longer than initially planned due to the competition's extended duration caused by adverse weather conditions.

With his trademark humor, Colin Jost addressed his foot injury and assured his fans that he is doing fine. As he continues to pursue his comedic career and ventures into hosting a spin-off show, Jost remains grateful for the support he has received during this unforeseen turn of events.
