‘SNL’s Colin Jost To Cover Olympic Surfing Competition From Tahiti For NBC
Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost has snagged quite an assignment for the 2024 Olympics. The Weekend Update anchor has been tapped to cover the surfing competition from Teahupo’o, Tahiti, part of French Polynesia, for NBCU. This will be the second-ever Olympic surfing competition after the sport debuted during the Summer Games in Tokyo in 2021.
Jost, a surfer himself, will travel to Tahiti in advance of the competition, which begins on July 27, where he will preview the waves and interview athletes.
“Colin Jost hit the NBC Sports jackpot with an epic assignment covering surfing in Tahiti for the Paris Olympics,” says Molly Solomon, Executive Producer and President, Production, NBC Olympics. “Although the setting is a little different than the Weekend Update desk in Studio 8H, Colin, an avid surfer, is going to bring his unique flair to reporting on the competition, athletes, and beautiful surroundings in one of the most breathtaking Olympic venues ever.
