If there was a medal for “Having the Worst Time” at the Olympics, SNL’s Colin Jost would win gold.
Jost is out in Tahiti covering the Olympic surfing competitions and it is safe to say he is not enjoying his time in a place many would view as paradise.
A few days ago, Jost joked he was “being set up for failure” as he checked in among Tahitian chickens as ants crawled all over his feet.

Turns out his feet were much more of a concern than anticipated as a few days later, Jost reported he has a staph infection on his foot.
Safe to say Jost will not be adding “surf correspondent” to his list of future gigs.
