Bass was accompanied by gymnast Simone Biles, who was in a walking boot after injuring her calf earlier in the Olympics, as the two were onstage to hear H.E.R. perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" in front of the crowd at Stade de France.

Then actor Tom Cruise rappelled down from the rafters of the stadium onto the grounds and received a big kiss from a woman there. He then received the Olympic flag and started his cinematic trek from Paris to Los Angeles on a motorcycle.

The TV feature showed Cruise racing through the streets of Paris onto the back of a cargo plane. He then somehow made it to the Hollywood sign, which was decked out in the Olympic rings. Pro mountain biker Kate Courtney went down the steps of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and gave the flag to former U.S. sprinter Michael Johnson.
