Jimmy Fallon playfully honors Raygun, the Australian breakdancer who became an online sensation.
American talk show host Jimmy Fallon recently gave a playful nod to Australian breaker Raygun, who took the internet by storm with her unique dance routine at the Olympic Games. On The Tonight Show, Fallon brought out comedian Rachel Dratch to imitate the cult-hero's signature dance moves, including her now-iconic kangaroo pose.

During his opening monologue, Fallon asked Dratch, who was dressed in a gold and green tracksuit reminiscent of Raygun's, how she was feeling after her infamous performance. In response, Dratch broke into a dance, playfully mocking the Aussie's moves. "Raygun, I can see that you express yourself through your dance moves. Is there anything else you'd like to share with us?" Fallon added before the two broke out into Raygun's signature "kangaroo hop."

At just 36 years old, Raygun made history as the first Australian to compete in Olympic breaking. However, she failed to advance past the round-robin stage due to receiving a scoreless result card. Despite this setback, her performance gained her a huge following online, and she went quiet on social media shortly after.

It was later revealed that Raygun had received mental health support from the breaking federation due to the intense online criticism she faced. In the midst of all this, Fallon's playful tribute was a lighthearted reminder of the power of Raygun's dance moves and their ability to capture the world's attention.
