John Henson is now the proud papa to a bouncing baby boy, and he didn't even need the help of any big red balls, either.

The Wipeout cohost and his wife, Jill Benjamin, welcomed their first child on March 7, Henson's rep confirms to E! News.

Weighing 7 pounds, 11 ounces and measuring 22 inches long, son Jackson Wright Henson was born at a hospital in L.A.

Of course, we can't help but feel a little familial pride ourselves at the good news. After all, Henson hosted Talk Soup (before it became just The Soup) at E! back in the '90s.

Congrats!
