Elsewhere in Jost's podcast interview, he shared some of his favorite activities to do with his son Cosmo, 2.
"One thing that's really important with [Cosmo] is I take him swimming a lot whenever I can — like pool or ocean," Jost, who shares Cosmo with his wife Scarlett Johansson, said.
"He's only 2 and he's a pretty good swimmer actually, like he's almost independent swimming, which is kinda crazy. He's a smart guy, too, such a fun kid," Jost added. "I didn't always love the competitive part of swimming, but I did love being in a pool and I'm very happy around water all the time. And that's something I'd like to share with him in different ways."
