Jorma Taccone, the acclaimed comedian and filmmaker best known as a founding member of The Lonely Island and his work on Saturday Night Live, has disclosed a severe and painful injury that has significantly impacted his life and career.
The accident occurred in New York, though specific details of the location were not shared. Taccone described the incident as a sudden and devastating fall that resulted in a shattered sacrum—the large, triangular bone at the base of the spine.
A Life Put on Pause
In a candid conversation on the Mega podcast with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, Taccone revealed the extent of the setback. The injury was so severe it forced him to abandon his directorial duties on a significant, yet-to-be-announced project.
"I fell and I shattered my sacrum," Taccone stated, highlighting the severity of the incident. The recovery process has been arduous, requiring immense patience and completely halting his professional commitments.
The Long Road to Recovery
The nature of a sacral fracture means a long and challenging rehabilitation. Taccone's account suggests a lengthy period of immobilisation and pain management, a trying experience for anyone, let alone a prolific creative professional in the midst of a project.
This unexpected health crisis serves as a stark reminder of how quickly circumstances can change, putting even the most exciting career opportunities on indefinite hold.
