    Colin Jost’s hosting duties got off to a rough start.

    The “Saturday Night Live” star sustained a nasty foot injury after a run-in with a reef while covering the 2024 Paris Olympics from Tahiti, where the surfing competitions are taking place this year.

    The funnyman shared a picture of his bandaged and bloodied wounds on Instagram Monday, joking that he has “been to the Olympic medical tent more than any of the athletes.”

    In the photo, three of Jost’s toes were covered with gauze. Meanwhile. his other exposed toes seemed to have minor cuts on them.

    Colin Jost makes rare comment about being stepfather to Scarlett Johansson’s 9-year-old daughter

    Shortly after arriving on the French Polynesian island, Jost took a dip in the crystal-clear water — yet the experience wasn’t as magical as he planned.

    “This might ruin my WikiFeet score but I just arrived in Tahiti for the surfing Olympics and the reef was excited to greet me,” he wrote on Instagram Friday alongside a photo of his torn-up toes .

    It’s unclear if he reinjured his feet or if the gauze was recently added to accelerate the healing process.

    It’s likely the comedian could have reopened his wounds while doing most of his reporting barefoot.

    Scarlett Johansson said she ‘blacked out’ when she heard Colin Jost’s ‘SNL’ joke about her body

    Jost’s go-to Olympic look has consisted of a navy blazer, festive beach shirts, khaki shorts and, of course, no socks or shoes.

    NBC announced in June that Jost, 42, would be covering the surfing competition nearly 10,000 miles away from the other sporting events in Paris .

    His wife, Scarlett Johansson, didn’t join him for the games — which she previously said was more like a vacation than a work opportunity.

    During a July 8 appearance on “Today,” she and host Savannah Guthrie wondered how the comedian even got the “boondoggle.”

    “I’m like, ‘Is this a job? How is this?’ When they announced the Paris Olympics, he immediately found out that they were doing the surf competition in Tahiti, which is so cool,” Johansson said, noting that her husband “loves to surf.”

    “Somehow the dream became a reality and now he’s going to be in Tahiti for two weeks. I’m like ‘poor you,'” the 39-year-old added, mimicking a tear rolling down her face.

    The “Black Widow” star said she had been teasing Jost about how lucky he is.

    “He’s working — he’s like, ‘Poor me, I’m going to be all over the place.’ I’m like, ‘Are you?’ I think if you can have a piña colada on air while you’re working, that’s not technically work,” the actress joked.

    The couple wed in 2020 and welcomed son Cosmo one year later. Johansson is also mom to 9-year-old daughter Rose Dorothy with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
