There’s no arguing that Ryan Seacrest is a person of many skills. The person has been employed for a number of the largest internet hosting gigs on the market, together with American Idol (which returns to the 2025 TV schedule March 9) and as Pat Sajak’s substitute on probably the greatest recreation reveals of all time. There could also be a restrict to his abilities, nonetheless, as a result of he not too long ago confirmed off his breakdancing, and it bore a powerful resemblance to Raygun, the viral Olympic dancer.
One factor you must admire about Ryan Seacrest is his enthusiasm, and he had that in spades throughout a latest episode of Wheel of Fortune, when he actually hit the ground with some impromptu dance strikes. The clip must be seen to be believed, so fortunately the sport present shared it to their Instagram:
That looks as if sufficient to make Vanna White drop one other F-bomb! Actually, although, props to Ryan Seacrest for being so spry at his age. Not that fifty is tremendous previous or something, however I’m youthful than that, and there might be no spinning on my again over right here, thanks very a lot. He did admit that showcasing his breakdancing “lack of abilities” resulted in his taking greater than a pair aspirin.
The unscripted Wheel of Fortune second additionally betrayed the truth that the American Prime 40 host tuned into the Paris Olympics this previous summer time or was no less than conversant in viral breakdancing sensation Raygun. Australian Rachael Gunn was one of many largest figures to come back out of the 2024 Summer season Video games. Inform me you don’t suppose Ryan Seacrest (aka RyGun, aka the Ryan-stone Cowboy) took inspiration from the epic strikes beneath:

What I wouldn’t give to see Ryan Seacrest hit that kangaroo pose or do these toe touches!
Sadly, everyone knows that going viral is commonly not a superb factor, and Raygun opened up about getting “a lot hate” for her efficiency on the worldwide stage, wherein she misplaced all three rounds of her dance battle and was swiftly eradicated. The truth is, the entire ordeal — notably the general public’s merciless response — was so “devastating” that Raygun retired from aggressive breakdancing within the aftermath.
It seemingly hasn’t been all unhealthy, although. For higher or worse, the dancer grew to become one thing of a family identify throughout the globe, and that could possibly be an actual profession increase for Raygun. I imply, Ryan Seacrest is way from the one individual to strive their hand on the Australian’s dance strikes, in any case — although Minnesota Viking Cam Bynum’s shoutout to the Aussie was extra apparent than Seacrest’s.
Sadly for the Wheel of Fortune host, breakdancing won’t be a part of the 2028 Summer season Olympics, which might be held in Los Angeles — aka Ryan Seacrest’s yard. What a missed alternative that’s.
