Usually bronze medalists for Team USA don’t get invited as a guest to “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

But Stephen Nedoroscik had such a compelling story at the Olympic Games Paris 2024 as the nerdy, controversial pick for the United States gymnastics team only specializing in the pommel horse. But “Pommel Horse Guy” came up clutch and secured a Team USA bronze for the men, and then another one individually for of course that same discipline.

It also helped that just like Clark Kent took off his dorky glasses to become Superman, Nedoroscik always takes his off too before turning into his own version of a pommel horse superhero.

So of course “The Tonight Show” had Nedoroscik recreate Clark Kent going into a phone booth to become his alter ego.

“Pommel Horse Guy” thought it was a perfect 10.

The self-proclaimed nerd also showed off his Rubik’s cube skills, solving one in an astonishing 15.42 seconds. Not surprisingly, he’s also a stellar gamer.

And if you missed it, “The Tonight Show” had a little fun paroding Raygun with Rachel Dratch.

So, which one was funnier? You be the judge.
