Magic Johnson’s Mom Doesn’t Like His Nickname | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

[@LeLemonade1]

Magic has a Santa Clause aura 🎅🏿 very jolly 😁

[@advaitnamboothiri975]

Which bill or treaty does that clause pertain to?

[@juanairbag]

What a terrific smile.

[@JprimeWorld]

Thanks man I really appreciate that I needed that

[@danieljung3807]

Your welcome

[@ikuep]

One of the more entertaining interviews I've seen in a while.

[@HigherPlanes]

Dude this came out like 20 years ago.

[@NuttyMongrel]

it's great when Conan has chemistry with random celebrities

[@BernardMarx95]

HigherPlanes We’re aware.

[@HigherPlanes]

​@@BernardMarx95 How about the OP

[@ikuep]

@@HigherPlanes I'm aware. I just haven't seen every interview Conan's had in his almost 30 years of interviewing people :)

[@Monoplacophora]

His laugh and smile is a 10 out of 10. I love you sir, you got me into the game of Basketball back when I was a kid in the 80s

[@JJJameson.]

Magic is so charismatic that even his hiv got excited and left

[@starfire6764]

I know little to nothing about basketball or Magic but he seems like an amazing human and a great friend to have around.

[@CheerSeeds]

The scoreboard thing was funny 😂 Magic seems like a genuinely decent guy!

[@LycanLink]

Gosh, Magic seems like such a sweetheart. Just the nicest guy. And what a laugh. ^_^

[@jimmylittle9393]

Magic was having a great time in this interview.

[@saynotop2w]

Magic and Kobe made me love Lakers. Thanks for the wonderful times.

[@Afrimusican]

*sigh* and I was doing so well today without crying

[@MegavettE]

Best talk show in the world!

[@GunnerGbi]

Everybody always have fun being interviewed by Conan!

[@jackquigley14]

I was laughing so hard when conan said he thought the score board was going to fall on them lol

[@LycanLink]

Magic Johnson's height: Ni'ce"

[@seanmeade2364]

I got him beat. 6'11"

[@alhoward4099]

Happy, Healthy Birthday Mr. Erving Johnson...may God grant you many more

[@sebw89]

Don't know, if you made a Dr. J reference on purpose or just don't know Magic's really called Earvin...

[@dgrgnd]

8:25 If you've seen that clip when Conan was a kid intervieweing his siblings, this is exactly how he sounded. Haha

[@traffic2678]

Man oh man this is a great interview

[@Margerysharp]

Magic is the nicest person. Bless.

[@Kp-pk9nl]

What a charismatic man

[@emmachoplin6761]

I love IRVIN’s laugh!!!!

[@turvus2]

What an amazing personality!

[@roniieeem5031]

Magic was an apt nickname Much better than Junebug, ej or Buck 😂

[@martinadrianarcenas867]

i wish he got to explain why the Lakers called him.Buck🙂

[@landonmiles97]

Even though this was 2003, his trash talk explanation is still the same today. In the fact that guys talk the talk but never walk the walk. I would say in most sports.

[@deveraux32]

Greatest player and guest ever!!

[@MisterWileyOne]

You don't pick your own nickname. Your family and friends do. Be nice to them otherwise they'll be unflattering. 😆

[@yvonneyvette2631]

When was this originally aired? Both Conan and Magic are beeeeauitful! Magic is such an incredible amazing person, for real. He is hands down a legit good hearted person. Umm..yeah you too Conan..😏

[@nathanwalker6360]

2003

[@yvonneyvette2631]

Nathan Walker thank you. Wow, it was some time ago. We’ve all aged about 17 years. 😔

[@nathanwalker6360]

@@yvonneyvette2631 Yeap the grains of time, in the hourglass that is life haha.

[@jamesliu8101]

Still waiting for the Eartha Kitt interview from 1993.

[@prajwalmeshram32]

Whatta beautiful person mr. Magic

[@MonsiourPotatoHead]

conan is just slaying him! lol

[@zoperxplex]

When Conan downloads a video from the past I am always frightened that the guest on the show had died.

[@vika0194]

Uploads

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

@@vika0194 to be annoyingly pedantic, Team Coco is _almost certainly_ downloading each video before they re-upload it, given that even loading data off a DVD/flash stick backup counts as "downloading". But to be more serious, yeah, you're right, uploads.

[@plushpuppy32]

They seem to be doing it around the celebrities birthdays

[@myattdyaimon3635]

What a sweet soul 💓

[@Boricua3lions1985]

This aired right before I graduated high school. El Puente Academy Class of 2003!

[@SOUNDINTHECITY]

@4:57 When your friends are roasting you, and all you can do is laugh the pain away...

[@TheRealUcanUwill]

NBA champion Jason Williams was called White chocolate, one of the flashiest players ever in the league.

[@hotdamndan9892]

That chair is too small for Magic. Lol

[@Kat31017]

such an underrated classic interview

[@AlanFree]

This was so funny! And informative. Love these two!

[@RudieObias]

Conan "White Chocolate" O'Brien!

[@therealjayz8036]

7:00 this was 2003 so he was probably talking about Paul Pierce

[@LaPotraBellaca]

If Magic was on the same ride as me AND holding it up, I wouldn't care

[@mickeyrube6623]

I thought he was gonna say his mother didn't like his nickname because she was religious.

[@anthonygordon9483]

Although there maybe religious people out there that believe in anything. Not all religious people are like that.

[@nicoarcenas]

Earvin-who-works-at-the-shoe-store when he watched this: ಠ_ಠ

[@__Andrew]

Welp... i thought "Magic" was his real name.

[@VideoGameStupidLC]

Everything is a lie. All these years I thought hi sname was really Magic Johnson. What's next? People gonna tell me that John Cena isn't his real name or Randy Orton is just an alias?!

[@pravakarpatra5132]

It's all like Conan is soo tall... Until someone like magic shows up.

[@no127]

Have you seen conan interviewing Big Show? Conan looks like a small kid😂

[@pravakarpatra5132]

@@no127 yeah! Also when the great Khali was on with Adam Sandler during his Kate night show.

[@GaryTurbo]

I want to play Magic Johnson, but i can't find anyone who can play Larry Bird

[@LaPotraBellaca]

I was today years old when I found out that Mother Johnson didn't like his nickname

[@melvinjohn6240]

Wow! Just wow😂😂

[@paulinemockler3736]

Why tf do I think this looks like a black vin diesel on steroids

[@chrisspiers6310]

June bug? 😂😂😂

[@theobaldlolworth4717]

I bet that Magic Willy would have been better

[@remnant24]

7:00 Kevin Hart in a nutshell.

[@johnokeeffe3096]

Fun fact: smallest player to ever play NBA was.... 5'3 ... look it up!

[@vika0194]

We know. Muggsy.

[@vanz681]

I'm 4 inches taller than him and I have no talent

[@Inthatgoodway]

@@vika0194 lol I am a muggsy fan. We had his basketball growing up instead of Shaqs or Jordans

[@hanschouwman4536]

Magic and Bird he thinks the high of Larry

[@deepelements]

Larry Bird and Michael Jordan "~G.O.A.T.S~"

[@smittyboy13]

His finances must be getting destroyed with this virus thing going on. Hang in there Magic. You'll pull through hopefully

[@alarmmclock4460]

This episode was released the day I was born

[@chrisspiers6310]

Loved this interview, and I love Magic Johnson! 💖💖💖

[@intersanctum]

Magic Johnson is a perfect nickname for a porn actor.

[@virus2003]

Fooled again. Thought he died, had to Google his name.

[@marisagesualdi8163]

It's his birthday today!

[@mickeyrube6623]

Isn't he FAMOUSLY alive???

[@bowlchamps37]

06/17/03 - Even know what I did this day. Feels weird.

[@serbonkers4130]

Did Conan ever got Larry Bird on his show?

[@jc2333]

Coco

[@eddietdead]

Here I was thinking it was because 'Johnson' is a word for a penis.. maybe I should get that checked out.

[@mcsportslover]

Never had AIDS!

[@Karll541]

True

[@johnjancar6152]

I don’t know how people can be that way. Magic is right. You got to bow down to greatness lol I mean that’s so natural, to honour talent. Skill. Smarts, ability. Even looks lol Just you have to admire people who got things, they have something. To be great, you have first learn how to honour greatness in others. That’s the truth. Like I watched this, and it never even occurred to me. But it’s true, a lot of people get like jealous of great people. Or people with talent, or smarts, or anything. I was never that way, I see any great anything, I’m like wow look at that guy lol He’s great. Even a real good looking or muscular guy, I go wow look at that guy lol Even chicks. I see a hot chick I’m like wow check her out, she’s great. Just it seems so natural to do that. Never was driven by jealousy, or envy, or avarice. I don’t understand why people are that way. You got to honour greatness. Then go for greatness yourself. But got to honour it first, don’t be jealous. Honour it, then strive to get to that level yourself.

Conan would more likely be the funniest little guy😂

Love him now didn’t like him in 1976

[@piranyak6712]

Good day! I'm a big fan of Conan O'brien, from Russia. But your videos don't have Russian subtitles. Can you add russian subtitles, I am ready to translate your videos into Russian even for free. I want other people in Russia to be able to look at Mr. o'brien. Or let me create a channel with your videos translated into Russian. Please answer me if you are interested.
