This guy who got away with smoking on TV.Twitter: @perriprevostTwitter: @perriprevostPhew, crisis averted! This dude&#39;s five (or six!) seconds of fame on TV extended for an additional fifteen minutes on Twitter, with the close one going viral.That was a close one @espn pic.twitter.com/rQJBnEtKHo&mdash; PerriP (@perriair_) June 28, 2017 Regardless of the results of the LSU-Florida game, this guy won.1. Tom Holland, because he arrived at the Spider-Man: Homecoming premiere in character and backflipped off a car. With great power comes great stunts. GiphyMany people say that there have been too many Spider-Men, but I say, not enough Spider-Men (The ill-fated Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark musical was too much, I&#39;ll give you that). Tom Holland, the third dude to play Peter Parker on screen in just 15 years, already makes Spidey his own with his boyish charm and real-life acrobatic skills.BRING ON THE SPIDER-MEN!

JAY-Z, Mika Brzezinski, and Spider-Man are killing it.
