Colin Jost’s Ryder Cup TV debuts, glimpses behind curtains
Farmingdale, NY – Golfer fields on the Ryder Cup shrank to one at 7:30 a.m. in the middle of a downpour of Bethpage Black.
While the rest were waiting for the rain inside, one stood under a temporary tent on the practice green side, imitating his golf swing. One slow, one arc after another. Finally, after a while, the golfer was interrupted by the voice. He caught the attention and turned his energy to the TV set on the other side of the makeshift tent. A few feet away, it was one of the few passersby who had realized the awareness of cutting off the rainwater in the rainwater.
“Hey! That’s Colin Jost!”
For anyone outside the golf media bubble, it is not clear why Jost is the SNL actor and successor Jost Weekend update The throne held by show legends such as Seth Meyers and Norm MacDonald stands in the rain at the Ryder Cup.
The most famous live performer in the Ryder Cup is a famous Billy Joel Cover band (Mike delguidice of of Mike of Large lens)Jost’s decision to add a week’s TV work seemed trivial. By most common definitions, he is an A-lister, married actress Scarlett Johansson and participated in the most coveted daily routine in modern comedy. also SNL Celebrity, who claims to have nearly 900,000 Instagram followers, a bestseller, and occasionally vice president as host Pop culture is dangerous.
Why is Colin Jost in Ryder Cup? The long answer is boring: his friend and T-Mobile at Omaha production company, who lends his hand to bethpage, which holds an “alternative pre-match show” at Bethpage College events and Manningcast. The show is called Breakfast on Bethpagewill be a new way for golf fans to enter the Ryder Cup led by familiar celebrity faces. Mission meeting return Giving Jost the opportunity to show off another tremor more broadly than 30 Rocks in comedy tricks has given Jost a second major sports hosting show for Jost after the 2024 Olympic surfing competition in Tahiti.
But why Joster herePractice swing thoughts in the pouring rain on Thursday? The shorter answer is more inspiring.
“It’s a small thing for me, but it makes sure my club is the first thing, not my hand,” he said. “I’m working with this great PGA teacher Ivan Foster, who I think is quoting Bobby Jones. He said, ‘If you’ve seen someone with a hand moving in front of a defender club, you should always bet.'”
Jost’s paper on the nuances of his swing tendencies lasted for a few seconds, then he paused and flashed with a lightning-fast smile.
“I think I’ve lost my room,” he said.
whether. The truth is, I’m closer to a Rocket scientist than a swing coach, but I Have done it Watch Jost and Eli Manning completely tear down their opponents in a game in the Celebrity Ryder Cup the afternoon before. And me have Seeing his unique claw grip with a long putt, this is more or less a scarlet letter for golf crazy. And I know that golf has a fabulous power in people’s superior and ruthless work ethics. So, yes, he lost me in the details, but he attracted my materiality.
Why is he in Bethpage? Because he loves golf, and because for a person who loves golf, the chance to hang out on Bethpage Black is a quote you don’t refuse. Salary, TV shows and the opportunity to fake names in sports media? This is also very helpful. But the biggest deal wasn’t him Colin Jost Weekend update From SNL;This is his 8.1 Colin Jost at Rockland Country Club.
There is something deeper than rock and sticks that makes Joest love golf. He may have informed this for twenty years as a writer and an actor. SNL Staff, almost constantly tide over the new show, new hosts and a whole new set of ideas every week. Joest says he’s seeking wisdom About WritingThe legendary tome of Stephen King’s “Tome”. What he learned from reading is that good writing is actually not very complicated.
“There is no shortcut. You can’t work part-time. Or whenever you want to do that.” “You just need to Do it. ”
Jost also knows (maybe a little good) that good writing has inherent humility. Mainly, this is going from a lot to a little bit.
“Writing is just rewriting,” he said. “Making things short always makes it better.”
Of course, recognizing that this worldview can also be applied directly to golf does not require genius—the sport has humility, few shortcuts and most dangerous paths to score. Jost did not make such a connection Thursday at the rainy Ryder Cup. Maybe he didn’t.
Or maybe it’s the TV star at Bethpage Black’s Practice Green Center, which is obvious. No one ended at the Ryder Cup by chance. It’s all you give up on doing…even in a downpour.
