Colin Jost Demoted from 2026 Olympics After Surfing Stint in Tahiti (Video)

At the Paris 2024 Olympics, in which the surfing portion of the games was held 10,000 miles away from the City of Lights, Saturday Night Live comedian Colin Jost was sent to Teahupo’o, Tahiti to cover surfing. But now, it appears he’s been demoted.

For the 2026 Milan Cortina winter Olympics, Jost was not sent to Italy – nor one of the many auxiliary locations for various sporting disciplines.

Instead, he was sent to Lake Placid, New York. Nowhere near Europe or the 2026 winter games, for that matter.
