Usually followed by, \u2018Heard your foot fell off&#8217;. Well, I\u2019m actually fine, and despite what big media conspiracies would have you believe, I wasn\u2019t \u2018sent home\u2019 from the Olympics. NBC simply looked at my foot, declared me legally a leper, and exiled me here to the island of Malta.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now, Malta doesn\u2019t have many Olympians competing this year, but it does have thousands of 15-year-old British kids competing to see who can black out the fastest &#8211; and somehow they\u2019re all winning. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It also has this casino behind me where I\u2019ve blown the hundreds of dollars I earned as a surfing correspondent.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But the real reason I\u2019m in Malta, of course, is because it was the site of ten separate bubonic plague outbreaks, so they thought I would fit right in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nColin was forced to quit his role with NBC, after sustaining a foot injury, and then suffering a staph infection and an ear infection.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe comedian &#8211; who is married to movie star Scarlett Johansson &#8211; was based in Tahiti during the Games, but injury and illness meant that he left the role prematurely.<\/p>\n<p>\nA rep for NBC recently told USA Today: &#8220;Colin stayed longer than originally planned. The competition ran long due to weather.
