Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal left the audience divided with a kindergarten photo while hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Shaquille O’Neal is, aside from his obviously successful NBA career, a beloved television personality. Of course, he is many things. He is a DJ, Sherriff and businessman, among others.
But watching Shaq be in his element while speaking on television has to be one of the most entertaining things. He’s funny by nature and his deeply humble nature further helps his cause.
O’Neal’s date with television is nothing new. A fairly successful actor, Superman has acted in several movies like Grown Ups, Uncle Drew, and Scary Movie 4.
In fact, he has had his own shows. Remember when the 7’1″ center started that ‘Shaq Vs.’ to show? Although the show was an absolute disaster, the Lakers legend met and competed with some of the biggest stars in the sport.
But his best moments on television, short of his continued presence on Inside the NBA, have been on talk shows.
The superstar has some of the best stories to tell. Coupled with her narrative style and quirky sense of humor, it’s a real joy to watch her tell stories.
Shaquille O’Neal shared a photo of his ‘kindergarten’ with Aisha Tyler
One such moment occurred when the 15-time All-Star was hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live and had Aisha Tyler as a guest.
Aisha, who is the current host of ‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ has worked with O’Neal on multiple projects. The comedian played Shaq’s girlfriend on an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm and also faced him in Lip Sync Battle.
So when the $400 million star took over as the guest host of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Aisha was naturally chosen as the guest.
The two looked extremely comfortable on the show and had a funny joke. Tyler, reacting to a picture shown by O’Neal, claimed that the 4-time NBA champion had a disproportionate butt.
Aisha: “Well, I’m excited that we have photographic proof that you’re a big man but your butt is normal size.”
Aisha then reacted to a photo of her as a child in sixth grade. Archer’s voice actress, who is reportedly 6’0″ tall, acknowledged standing out above everyone in her age group.
Shaq immediately responded with a photo of himself showing a group of kids playing basketball. O’Neal claimed that the photo was taken while he was in kindergarten.
Diesel’s hilarious response to Aisha discussing her height had the entire studio cracking up.
Do you think Shaq should have his own talk show?
