from NBC Colin Jost is just seven feet under water in his Olympic defense in Tahiti — the “Saturday Night Stay” star has been dealing with a nagging injury after a nasty encounter with a reef.
The “Weekend Replace” anchor — who notably ditched his sneakers while working the surfing competition for the 2024 Paris Games — probably wanted his dogs to be extra protected upon their arrival in French Polynesia … because he just showed off three of their gauze-wrapped feet on Monday.

Jost joked about the illness on Instagram… saying, “You know you’re doing well when you’ve been to the Olympic medical tent more than any of the athletes.”
Jost confirmed his piggies for the first time on Friday… revealing that “the reef was excited to welcome me” as soon as he touched down in Tahiti.
Jost’s coverage was met with mixed reviews… with some of us praising the man for injecting humor into his assessment, while others called for a more legitimate reporter to shine the light on the athletes.

Another criticism was Jost’s lack of footwear during his TV hits… leaving his feet fully exposed for the entire nation to see (although some aren’t so against it).
We’re likely to see Jost sporting the shoobie look as he continues to recover… so expect some Crocs or water sneakers to be added to your wardrobe ASAP.
