Jennifer Hudson is a great host. Oprah is shady to her black guests.. Jennifer gives them the proper dignity and respect. God bless Magic Johnson and Michael Jackson.

[@allbasicbicthy]

just the fact that she defends Epsten and crosses Michael, we already see out there what kind of person she is

[@DJaySplitSecond]

Oprah and Gayle are poison

[@yvonneasante3331]

Yeah she's sweet 😊

[@jabowja]

Love them both

[@TheAlkebulanTrust]

[@crazyconer1985]

Michael Jackson......what a legend. I wish I knew what it was like to live in his era!

[@BelfastManUtdTherapy]

[@MichaelJackson_lisaBP]

MichaelJackson 👑❤️‍🔥✨🤧😮‍💨

[@simonbarre-brisebois4684]

Such an awesome story. As Prince and Michael Jackson were both great friends and got along really well, it would have been nice to see them having fun at such an evening which Prince organized. And as for Magic Johnson, his work on Remember the Time was memorable; and so was Michael Jordan for Jam. Thank you for telling us these stories Magic Johnson. By the way, for anyone who wants to know more facts on Michael Jackson and his life, check out the podcasts called "Michael Jackson Case for Innocence", "Red Jackson Dance" (on KZbin), "The Mjcast", & the documentaries "Square One MJ", "The Lies of Leaving Neverland”, “Michael Jackson Private Home Movies”, “Michael Jackson Take Two The Footage You Were Never Meant to See”, “Michael Jackson The Humanitarian”, & “Loving Neverland”. These multiple documents are precious & rich in information that the media & certain pop culture websites refuse to adequately broadcast on their airwaves.

This is- Such an honor to witness an extra peek behind the curtain of Michael Jackson. I had the feeling of what Michael was going to eat but I didn’t want to think too much ahead of it…I was smiling like crazy when he revealed his fry chicken. 😂😂 I’m happy that he loved his animals, but I’m glad that Michael wasn’t afraid to admit his guilty pleasures when it came to good food. Oh!- for crying out loud!! I thought it was Michael and his Son, Prince having the pajama party! I mean- can you really blame me?! 😅😂 But let me just say that- I had No flippin idea that Prince was That kind of guy!! HELL, I WANNA HAVE A PAJAMA PARTY WITH HIM!!! 😆😆🤣😂😂 Not trying to be all egoistic here. But - Yes….No one. NO. ONE. Will EVER be as MAGNIFICENT As Michael Jackson…Humble at heart. Loyal to the World. Courageous soul. Beautiful endless love. 💖R.I.P Michael Jackson💖 Forever Alive In Our Hearts

[@zazagirl3373]

I just wish he had stayed with us longer.. Michael was simply the greatest of all time

[@darienwilliams6070]

Go head JHud! Remember when Magic had a talk show and Whitney sang to him. He was so grateful!

[@ccoleman2801]

I wish more celebrities and others would come out with their stories about Michael Jackson. It is so refreshing to hear. I was with my mom at UCLA Ronald Reagan Hospital they day MJ passed and I will never forget RIP Michael you will alway be in our hearts

[@amir3992]

Always love to watch his interviews he's a good storyteller

[@jaylaward5992]

Magic Johnson brings some pictures of these events. We would like to see them, you should have spoken,up for Michael, ( Touching moments). Thanks for sharing Magic, share some more memories, Peace

[@stelios3589]

Great one!

[@nwalker7289]

This was a great touching show. I appreciate Jennifer's realness and vulnerability at times. She's not trying to be like anyone else. Magic is a living legend. I love his humility! Black excellence looks good on them!!❤❤🎉😊

[@nicolasc7063]

I never get tired of hearing from Michael's true friends who really loved him and continue to love and miss him, and that Magic confirms something that fans know for which they don't know him. Michael always worried that his recorded voice sounded exactly the same as it did live on albums and videos

[@jaylaward5992]

Jennifer Hudson, where are the pictures and making of the video. Where are the pictures of Prince PJ party . Show the pictures, I know Magic Johnson have pictures of these events or videos

[@christinebryant8354]

Love ❤️ Magic 🏀🏀🏀

All I hear and see (halfway) is WIZARD KELLY!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@aaronfentress8141]

Magic must have meant the premiere or Ghost because Thriller came out in 1983 when Magic Johnson was early into his career with the Lakers and didn’t own theaters.

[@AnusuyaThinaharan]

💙💜💚

[@jyce7375]

I wish Jaafar Jackson would’ve man an appearance in Winning Time as Michael interacting with Quincy Isaiah’s Magic Johnson! That would’ve been so cool!

[@Tare1129]

I miss Michael

[@chaunceemotivate4250]

I hope they put this story in Michael's movie

[@aaronfelton4540]

Damn, Magic really was the man in the 80’s and early 90’s

Zeke my favorite basketball player of all time

[@simonejackson4494]

Of course this wasn’t Michael. He didn’t sound like that! 😂

[@KB-xp6dq]

I LOVE Magic, but at least one thing he said is just fantastically untrue (and it's ridiculous that he even tried to pass it off as true lol). The "Thriller" video came out in December 1983. Magic's theater in L.A. didn't open until summer-ish 1995, so it's not even close to being possible that his theater debuted "Thriller." I ditched school to see the "Thriller" video when it premiered for the first time (it was quite the adventure for my friends and me), and I was Chris Tucker's +1 at the party when Magic's theater in L.A. opened (we were friends before he was famous). Those two events are things that I truly remember... and they were clearly eleven and a half years apart lol. Even if you don't believe my participation in this comment, just look up when "Thriller" premiered and when Magic's theater opened in L.A. EDIT: For the record, MJ was at the party for Magic's theater opening, and his HIStory CD was in the gift bag that everybody got 😁.

[@privatoist]

He must hadn't talked to Mike since the BAD Tour for him to hang up on him twice. 🤣

[@2001paegh]

I love you sir #lwhaa

On Nov 11 2023 the ambulance arrived five hours after request and 40 minutes after the la fire dept and nyfd notified all persons that a booking id face sheet is unnecessary to identify the personal information..unfortunately the exact blood type is on this paper and if altered I can write a name on the blank line under booking officer .September 6 at ten am myself and the female I offered a container to were allowed to testify on the sentence..

[@rayspruce1]

Mike's could DEFINITELY use his voice

[@7wolfman78]

Waaaay better than evil Oprah

[@raheem94king86]

Y'all Michael Jackson impersonations 😂😂😂

[@Rayal1979]

How many stories of this have we heard of this when Michael cold called people and they hung up on him? 😂

[@debmye6959]

I think he told somewhat of the same story when he was on her show already. It's the same people over & over.

[@MISHKAJAI]

How in the Hell did Michael Jackson premiere his Thriller at Magic Johnson's theater? Thriller came out in 1983, when Magic Johnson's theater began only in 1994??? C'mon Magic stop with the Fish Tales!!!

[@michaelajayi8546]

He is talking about thriller 25 anniversary

[@MISHKAJAI]

Ahhh Big Diff.. nice of Magic to leave the tiny little detail out!!! lmfao@@michaelajayi8546

[@MISHKAJAI]

I met Magic btw.. he loves me because I am an MJ as well...@@michaelajayi8546

[@MISHKAJAI]

He's definitely a Talker.. I saw him live and in person at the learning annex at la convention center a while ago and he overspoke his time share by like an hour and a half and all the other people on the panel that were supposed to speak were livid and pissed off because Magic went so much over his own time and was not being considerate of the other speakers.. lmao@@oneluv72

[@NuFo]

Magic meant that the Thriller Video premiered for his grand opening theater in 1995

[@ayaanbretmitchell9830]

**Let me guess before I watch video** MJ calls and says (in squeaky voice) hi it's me' CHECK. Every video says this. MJ did not, and will not, talk in his stage voice around friends. False story

[@CharliArmstrong]

It’s so bizarre when these people do this because we all know what MJ actually sounds like when speaking in a relaxed voice. It’s annoying because it’s mocking him which shows how they may have liked him or loved him but did not really respect him. As a person, I mean, not just an artist. What makes it REALLY stand out as odd is Jackie and Michael actually sound pretty similar. I would say Jackie’s voice is slightly higher because he used to do most of the high notes in the group. Yet he doesn’t mock Jackie’s speaking voice. He respects Jackie.

[@user-er3ri6sc3j]

Did Prince have a pajama party at Neverland ranch? Did Magic show up?

[@hannahackerman5017]

Sooo fake
