The 'Danger Swig' was the Kiwi comedian's signature drinking move performed by many celebrities including Sir John Key.

Seven Sharp co-host Jeremy Wells managed to pay tribute to amateur Kiwi stuntman and comedian Johnny Danger Bennett by taking a "Danger Swig" of his water at the close of Wednesday's show.

Police confirmed today that it was Bennett who died in a motorcycle crash at 2.30pm on Dairy Flat Highway near Lucas Heights, Albany, on April 25.

Wells said he had met the colourful character on a number of occassions and seemed to have a good handle on the 29-year-old's signature move the "Danger Swig".

Danger died after crashing during an Anzac Day tour of the Auckland region.
