Overview
- Serving as an NBC correspondent for the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, Colin Jost rode with Team USA driver Bryan Berghorn in Lake Placid and said he thought he would die during the bobsled run.
- In NBC’s video of the ride, Jost can be heard screaming as the sled barrels through the track, underscoring the segment’s viral appeal.
- In an interview with Mike Tirico, Jost joked about following the so‑called Crotchgate controversy, quipping about hyaluronic acid and making a playful reference to his wife, Scarlett Johansson.
- The allegations center on claims that some ski jumpers enlarged their crotch area to alter suit measurements for aerodynamic gain, with FIS official Sandro Pertile noting that even small increases in suit surface can extend flight distance.
- WADA president Witold Banka said he will look into the matter, and no athletes have been identified or formally accused at this stage.
