Colin Jost appears to have suffered a line-of-duty injury while reporting on the 2024 Paris Olympics.
On Monday, the Saturday Night Live The Weekend Update host shared a graphic photo of his bandaged fingers following the incident.
“You know you’re doing well when you’ve been in the Olympic medical tent more times than any of the athletes,” Jost wrote.
Alongside the caption was a photo of Jost’s foot with bandages on three of his toes. The comedian did not share what happened.
Jost, 42, is reporting live from the Olympics in Tahiti, where, in a nod to the French territories, the French Polynesian island is hosting the surfing events. The events are set to be some of the most intense yet, as the island is experiencing some of its biggest waves.
O SNL The star’s injuries come after he arrived in Tahiti and shared a photo of his welcome gift — another injury. In the photo, Jost exposes his bloodied foot and reveals that the injury was caused by a reef.
“This might ruin my WikiFeet score but I just arrived in Tahiti for the surfing Olympics and the reef was excited to welcome me #paris2024 #showfeet,” he wrote.
On Sunday, Jost had some fun with his coverage while wearing what has become his signature uniform from the Paris Olympics — a blue Olympics blazer over a festively printed beach shirt and a white button-down. Partly explaining why he went to the medical tent to treat foot injuries, Jost revealed that he wasn’t wearing shoes while reporting live from the beach.
Missing from the action is Jost’s wife, Scarlett Johansson, and their children. Before his time at the Olympics, ET spoke to Jostwho told how he got the job.
“Everyone’s like, ‘How did you get that?’ I don’t know who else was volunteering,” he told ET. “I was like, ‘I’m going to love doing this,'” he said. “I love surfing, I’m going to be a pretty average surfer trying to figure out how to surf in Tahiti and they were like, ‘Great.'”
The 2024 Paris Olympics have been packed with star power and celebrity support, including Snoop Dogg — who is also serving as one of NBC’s special correspondents — and other A-list stars like Serena Williams, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen and more who are there to watch the games. Celine Dion and Lady Gaga kicked off the events with performances during the Opening Ceremony.
