Former Duke basketball star Jayson Tatum appears on The Tonight Show

Jayson Tatum, the former Blue Devil fresh off his first NBA title and second Olympic gold medal, went on The Tonight Show on Wednesday.

The summer of [autotag]Jayson Tatum[/autotag] continued on Wednesday night when the former Duke basketball star appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Tatum, now a star with the Boston Celtics, won his first NBA title earlier this summer after leading his team in points, assists, and rebounds throughout the playoffs. He broke Kobe Bryant’s record for postseason points before his 27th birthday, then went to Paris and won his second consecutive Olympic gold medal with Team USA, becoming the first former Blue Devil with two of those.

Fallon also pointed out that Tatum’s new five-year contract with the Celtics, worth $315 million, was the largest in league history, and the former Duke star was even named the cover star of NBA 2K25.

“That might be the coolest thing,” Tatum said about the cover. “Every kid grew up playing NBA 2K and, first, you want to dream about being in the game, and that happens, you know, your rookie year. And then, the top of the mountain is wanting to be on the cover…Just seeing it right now is still a surreal feeling.”

Tatum also promoted his new children’s book, “Baby Dunks-a-Lot,” which he dedicated to his mother and son.

Raygun the Australian breakdancer gets a Tonight Show parody courtesy of Rachel Dratch

Raygun is everywhere.

Raygun continues to be the Australian breakdancer we loved from the 2024 Paris Olympics, despite the fact that the memes of her performance in breaking are still rolling in.

This time, we got a parody from the great Rachel Dratch on The Tonight Show, who played the Aussie Olympic star, but she doesn’t say a word to Jimmy Fallon, who asked a few questions to her before the pair of them started doing Raygun’s patented dance moves. You had to see this coming now that the Olympics are over.

Take a look and see the quick cameo from Dratch, who definitely nailed some of the moves:

Tiger Woods tells a very funny story about why he wears Sunday red thanks to his mom

This is a funny story.

I’ll be honest: I don’t think I’ve heard this Tiger Woods story before, which is a bit strange given that it feels like we all know so much about the golf legend.

While promoting his very expensive Sun Day Red collection that’s available for purchase, Tiger was on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, who asked why the golfer wears his customary red on Sundays (that’s Sunday red, not to be confused with the apparel from Sun Day Red).

He said that his mom told him that red was his “power color,” and that he wore blue to spite her when he was younger, but he didn’t win those tournaments, so red it was.

Very funny!
