Gabby Douglas joined America’s Got Talent host Nick Cannon Wednesday night to help co-host. Douglas appeared after an introduction from Cannon at the start of the show. The audience cheered, at one point chanting “USA.”

Douglas brought home the women’s gymnastics team gold as well as a gold medal for the individual all-around competition, and described competing for Team USA as an “honor.”

The 16-year-old, two-time gold medalist wore a stylish outfit, complete with heels, and wore her hair down. Douglas wore both gold medals on stage, and Cannon jokingly calls her “2 Chainz,” in reference to a popular rapper.
