Jorma Taccone, a former “Saturday Night Live” writer who’s also in the comedy trio The Lonely Island, is recovering from a shattered pelvis and other injuries after falling 20 feet from a ladder while painting a birthday mural for his daughter.
Taccone, 48, shared his terrifying health update when he phoned into “The Lonely Island & Seth Meyers Podcast” from his hospital bed during the show’s Sept. 2 episode.
Taccone, who described himself as a “very active guy,” said he was painting the mural on a barn at his family’s farmhouse in Connecticut ahead of his daughter’s fifth birthday.
“I’m using this ladder that my neighbor let me borrow, and he was like, ‘Hey, this ladder is bad, like, you shouldn’t use this ladder. This doesn’t have a footing thing.’ I was like, ‘It’ll be good.”
