On Sunday, Aug. 11, after receiving many concerned messages, Jost shared a “feet alert” by recording the humorous news posted on Instagram.
” ‘Dude, are you okay?’ “That’s the number one text message I’ve received in the last 48 hours, usually followed by ‘I hear your foot dropped,'” Jost said in the video, which was filmed in front of the ocean.

“Well, I’m actually fine. And despite the great media conspiracies that would have you believe, I wasn’t ‘sent home’ from the Olympics. NBC just looked at my foot, declared me legally a leper, and banished me here to the island of Malta!” he joked about the European country.
“Now Malta doesn’t have many Olympians competing this year, but there are thousands of 15-year-old British kids competing to pass out the fastest, and somehow they all win,” Jost, who had to stop covering the Olympics due to injuries, continued in the recording.

“There’s also this casino behind me where I’ve spent hundreds of dollars I’ve earned as a surf correspondent. But the real reason I’m in Malta, of course, is because it’s been the site of 10 separate outbreaks of bubonic plague. So they thought I’d fit in well,” he added.
During the video, Jost also joked about spending “some time in the local dungeon,” sharing a photo of the (animatronic) woman he was “sitting” next to, as well as poking fun at Peacock and his coverage of the Olympics.

“Be assured, my foot is almost completely fine, although I won’t let you look at it,” Jost continued.
