Colin Jost's Shocking Ryder Cup Joke: Golf Legend Stirred!
Colin Jost Steals the Show with Scorching Penis Joke, But Will it Help Team USA's Fading Hopes?
In a brazen bid to boost morale for Team USA at the disastrous Ryder Cup, Saturday Night Live icon Colin Jost took to the airwaves on Sunday morning with a cringe-worthy yet hilarious opening monologue that quickly went viral. The 43-year-old American TV host, who is known for his biting wit and irreverent humor, didn't hold back in his attempt to keep spirits high for the struggling home team.
As he began his live stream for T-Mobile Breakfast at Bethpage on YouTube, Jost couldn't help but poke fun at the dire situation. "Well, there's no sugar-coating it, folks," he said with a mischievous grin. "The Ryder Cup has been rough for American fans to watch. Like hair-dos at a Long Island prom, it's been a gigantic blow-out!"
But Jost wasn't done yet. He took aim at Team America's chances of winning, quipping: "Team America is in deep trouble today. The odds of the US winning are longer than Arnold Palmer's penis. That's just what I heard from the President of the United States." The punchline sent shockwaves through social media, with many fans cheering and laughing while others were left cringing.
The joke refers to a infamous incident last year when Donald Trump made comments about the size of golf legend Arnold Palmer's genitalia during a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Trump infamously boasted that Palmer was "all man" and claimed he could remember seeing him disrobe in a locker room. The remarks sparked outrage from Palmer's family, with his daughter Peg slamming Trump for being "disrespectful and inappropriate."
This isn't the first time Trump has been accused of making lewd comments about Palmer. A book on the president published last year claimed that Trump bragged to guests at a 2020 rally about seeing Palmer naked in a golf locker room.
On Sunday, Jost continued his monologue, saying: "The mood here has certainly shifted. It's changed each day as the US fortunes have changed. On Friday I would say the vibe was electric, on Saturday it was nervous, and I'd say the vibe today is more like... 'Hey, want to see a dead body?'"
The stream quickly cut to black due to technical issues, but not before Jost's joke had already been trending on social media. The move may have been intended to avoid controversy, but it only added fuel to the fire. The question on everyone's lips is: will Jost's outrageous humor be enough to lift Team USA's spirits and turn their fortunes around?
As the final day of the Ryder Cup gets underway, Team USA trails Team Europe by seven points, with the visitors needing just 3.5 points to retain the trophy. Will Jost's bold joke be the turning point the team needs, or will it prove to be a costly distraction? Only time will tell.
