FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — “College GameDay” meets “ManningCast” live from the first tee at the 2025 Ryder Cup to create “Breakfast at Bethpage,” a two-hour show streaming on the Ryder Cup YouTube channel and Peacock hosted by “Saturday Night Live” comedian – and avid golfer – Colin Jost.
A “big sports fan” in general, Jost is back in the sports spotlight after serving as the NBC’s celebrity correspondent at the 2024 Summer Olympics covering surfing.
“The same way going to the Olympics in Tahiti – it’s like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Jost said the day before the competition and his show started.
Omaha Productions, Peyton Manning’s production company, is the creative group behind the show. Eli Manning is one of Jost’s favorite athletes, and the two were paired together during Wednesday’s “Celebrity Ryder Cup.” Peyton Manning and Jost have known each other for a long time because of Peyton’s involvement with “SNL.”
“I feel like we have enough trust between us,” Jost said of Peyton. “He’s got such a great team at Omaha.”
Jost said he hopes “Breakfast at Bethpage” appeals to golf fans while also being “beginner-friendly.”
The show has guests lined up for the three days across all sectors of culture – most unrelated to golf.
“We’re trying to appeal to everyone,” Jost said.
Nate Bargatze, Bobby Flay, Druski, Robert Pattinson, Niall Horan, Michael Phelps and Christopher McDonald are expected to make appearances. Jost’s “SNL” teammate Marcello Hernandez, Hannah Berner and Roger Steele are serving as correspondents.
Jost wants to feed off energy at Bethpage from the fans, whether they’re in the grandstand behind the set or roaming around the course and finding their way to his correspondents’ microphones. He fully expects to attract a crowd screaming at him or doing weird gestures in the background. That’s the business of being live for two hours (the show will stream from 6-8 a.m. ET on Friday and Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET on Sunday).
“SNL is live, but you’re rarely interacting with the audience unless something’s going really wrong,” Jost said. “So I would love to use that energy.”
Putting on his golf analyst hat, Jost predicted the Americans will do better than anticipated during the team formats over the first two days and the Europeans will fare better than expected in the singles matches on Sunday. His player to watch is USA’s Cameron Young, a New York native.
“I’m optimistic that it’s going to be a dramatic finish,” Jost said.
T-Mobile is the presenting sponsor of “Breakfast at Bethpage” and is Omaha Productions’ “first-ever end-to-end 5G-connected broadcast.”
