Colin Jost’s Disney World Jokes Spark Theme Park Fan Debate

Colin Jost, co-host of *Saturday Night Live*’s Weekend Update and *Pop Culture Jeopardy!*, has recently sparked a wave of discussion among Disney theme park fans with his recurring jokes about Disney World. Jost, who has referenced the park multiple times in his comedy bits, revealed his deep connection to the theme park during a recent appearance on *Pop Culture Jeopardy!*.

During the show, a question about Tiana from *The Princess and the Frog* led Jost to make an off-the-cuff joke about Splash Mountain, the iconic Disney ride that was recently rethemed to *Tiana’s Bayou Adventure*. The quip, which poked fun at fans nostalgic for the original Splash Mountain, showcased Jost’s familiarity with Disney Parks lore. A clip of the moment quickly circulated on social media, with fans debating the merits of the retheming.

Jost’s connection to Disney World runs deep. In an interview on *Late Night with Seth Meyers*, he shared that Disney World was an annual family vacation destination for him growing up. He even skipped a trip to the Playboy Mansion during college to visit the park instead. Today, Jost continues to visit Disney World with his wife, actress Scarlett Johansson, and their children.

While Jost may not identify as a ‘Disney Adult,’ his frequent references to the parks and their ongoing changes suggest a genuine interest. His recent jokes have resonated with fans, many of whom are divided over Disney’s decision to retheme Splash Mountain. Some argue that the change erases cultural history, while others applaud the inclusion of Tiana, Disney’s first Black princess.

Disney fans are known for their passionate opinions, and Jost’s comments have only added fuel to the ongoing debate. Whether he’s poking fun at the parks or reminiscing about his childhood visits, Jost has proven himself to be a relatable figure for theme park enthusiasts.
