Australia's Family Feud host lost it after receiving a personalised tweet from none-other-than '90s superstar Vanilla Ice.

Grant Denyer smashed out the rapper's hit "Ice Ice Baby" midway through a segment on the popular game show. He was asking a team to name terms beginning with 'Ice,' when he made them "stop, collaborate and listen!"

Breaking into an off-by-heart rendition of the classic, he was cheered on by the crowd. "To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal, light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle," Denyer eases in, before getting his groove on. "Dance, go rush the speaker that booms, I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom."

Following the outburst, the pint-sized star was generally ignored online for his number, until Vanilla Ice gave Denyer a hat tip on Jan. 5.

Being a cool, suave individual, Denyer acted calmly upon receiving the news that his name had been typed by Vanilla Ice.

I can die now. The REAL @vanillaice just shared my 'ice ice baby' rapping video from @FamilyFeudAU !! No serious, I just died . Like dead,— Grant Denyer (@grantdenyer) January 6, 2015

In case you were wondering, Denyer just died. No like, dead, seriously. And then in case that reaction wasn't sufficient, he followed up with a tweet saying nothing compared to this star-studded moment in his life. Yep, even being a Sunrise weatherman.

I've done some stuff: raced cars/Guinness Records/TV. But having @vanillaice pay tribute to this rap today...AMAZING! http://t.co/atOz3C2AJ1— Grant Denyer (@grantdenyer) January 6, 2015

It is nice to witness someone's dreams come true.
