As a New Yorker, this feels really special and I teared up when Crazy Legs talked about the Olympics and how far breaking has come. It's been such a treat to see these skits hand-picked for the guest hosts. I loved hearing about this history and wouldn't ordinarily expect to see this on TDS. The food looked so delicious and felt familiar. I wish both the dancing and the conversation had gone on longer. It felt bittersweet due to the length but also so valuable.

I met crazy legs at a rave like 20 years ago and he was just the most charismatic and down to earth people I’ve ever met. I mean he really shows his passion for his people and he really spreads the love of breaking in dancing in such an amazing way😊

So impressed with JL’s contribution to the Daily Show. Makes me feel proud to be Latino and I’m a South African. 🇿🇦😂

Probably wasn't kidding about the ambulance on standby. That was pretty impressive considering their age.

That meal looks delish!

It's awesome that breaking is now an Olympic sport!

All of Crazy Legs' documentaries should be put into one whole documentary.

When I heard a couple years ago that they were adding "Break Dancing" to the IOC, I thought it was due given how it's a spinoff of floor gymnastics. I know people don't like to think about that relationship between the 2 because of classicism but it's true. The skills needed just to do a fraction of the moves breakers do with their bodies is on par with gymnastics.

Beautiful culture, represent!

I met Crazy Legs in the early 90's at the peak of house dance and breaking, in a Zulu Nation convention(San Francisco). My man still had it. A true legend in the culture indeed.

Before you get into anything related to the history of break dancing we must accurately state that break dancing was created by Foundational Black Americans and Puerto Ricans were the first students that learned this style of dance from us. All of the dance moves that went into breaking predate any Puerto Rican presence in America and can be found in America amongst Foundational Black Americans as far back as the 1920’s. We have to learn to respect Foundational Black American culture because we don’t need other non white groups in America behaving like colonizers.
