Todd Rixon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Todd Rixon was a contestant on the 1980's Australian Television talent program Pot Luck. He is famous for a routine where he appeared dancing to "Baby I'm a Star" by Prince, but injured his hamstring approximately thirty seconds in and despite a valiant attempt to carry on regardless had to be helped offstage by host Ernie Sigley.

The footage has since become extremely popular on the internet, and in television bloopers shows, and Todd has become something of a celebrity. The footage was most recently seen on the Nine Network's 20 to 1 program where it was voted the 6th most embarrassing moment in Australian TV history (however it was downgraded to 20th most in the show's repeat).

An American TV show early in the decade invited him to don the suit again and complete his routine.
