"Window or aisle ?" "Private." Damn.

[@Markle2k]

He has a difficult time fitting behind the wheel of a car, even the first-class version of the emergency exit row is probably a tight squeeze.

[@FrankBenlin]

And not a bit of brag either.

[@classictalkies]

The environment: 😐

[@Sharonmxg]

I always forget how gigantic Shaq is until I see him sitting in a normal chair next to an average sized human. Just such an impressive presence. And he is such a gentle giant!

[@bostonspartan4194]

I shook his hand once at half time when he was playing against the Celtics. I felt like i dunked my hand in the ocean. Great great dude though.

[@layne721]

yeah! it's weird because you like see him on TV and since he's just big all over he almost look like an average guy. then you put him NEXT to an average guy and your brain breaks a little.

[@supernotnatural]

He is actually less taller cause he aged. With age you lose some height

[@bingbongbang8895]

Yeah, I know right? I was noticing the size difference between their hands. Stephen looks like he's 8 years old.

[@mldrfan]

@@bingbongbang8895 holy crap, I never noticed the difference in hand size until I read your comment! 😮

[@jeffclement2468]

The man certainly knows how to work a crowd 😻 "Barkley's goin' to Hell" 🤣

[@CRA5YINTENT]

The most fun questionnaire I have seen so far

[@Purbinder03]

You mean Questionert

[@CRA5YINTENT]

@@Purbinder03 fair point. Although if I were playing a lawyer on TV I didn't specifically say Colbert questionerts and could have been a time when I interviewed a clown while high on bath salts.

[@oneirishpoet]

@@CRA5YINTENT it was pretty awesome!

[@007Julie]

Shaq’s just a gentle giant, he’s smart, kind and super sweet. Conan O’Brien interviewed him for his podcast and it was very impressive, I have huge respect for this man.

Hes adorable.

[@mayormanstown7903]

Colbert: "whats the one thing you own but should really throw out?" Shaq: Charles Barkley.

[@whyhatestrangers]

Shaquille singing a bit of “True Colors” was truly heartwarming. He always puts people in a good mood. We’re fortunate that he isn’t evil and he hasn’t decided to destroy us all.

[@donjosue1000]

lol at the last part, reminds me of that new doctor strange movie...

[@h3artands0uLL]

🤣🤣🤣 he could easily take over any city. Be our weapon of mass destruction. Our American nuke. But he chooses peace.

[@caracker1276]

@@donjosue1000 bibi

[@JaesWasTaken]

He's a really cool guy. When he was playing for the Phoenix Suns, he'd just random send out Tweets saying "Hey, I'm hanging out at this place downtown for a bit, come on over!" I was working in downtown Phoenix at the time and happened to come across one of his little "get togethers." Was just chillin with folks and talking about whatever.

[@brinsky809]

Sounds to me he would have really liked Vice City's Emotions

[@christinemaney2294]

I was about to say, “Best questionnaire ever.” and when I opened the comments, BAM the first comment I see says exactly that! Bravo!!!

[@slyasleep]

It really is 😊

Ringo's was also good.

An American Icon. I don't even like basketball

Hilarious! From "Barkley's going to hell!" to farts, then jams classic greats... You're one of a kind Sir😄👏🔥

[@Webster132]

That joke made me cry ahaha

[@professorsprout3382]

The sweetest thing I've ever seen is Shaq singing those songs. What a beautiful human.

[@anamariaguadayol2335]

Shak's was the best "You are known" ever!

[@oneirishpoet]

I think it's hilarious that when Colbert asked Shaq about his favorite song, he went on this long riff singing with Stephen for like four or five different songs, and especially when he's singing Boy George and Cyndi lauper songs that's freaking hilarious! I don't think anyone who's taken the questionnaire has done that before 😅

[@batgurrl]

Questionert my absolute favorite segment and Shaq the most entertaining , funniest guest ever. His reaction to Mayo on Fries was spot on, he punched a shark and didn’t name just one song for song for the rest of his life.

[@bingbongbang8895]

I went to Europe in my twenties with a buddy and a tent. Turns out they charge money for ketchup! So I learned to eat them with mayo, still do and that was 40 years ago.

[@RedDevil_Joe]

@@bingbongbang8895 where did you go? I’m from Europe and didn’t know this was a thing I’ve never seen anyone eat fries (or chips) with Mayo

[@bingbongbang8895]

@@RedDevil_Joe. .Belgium, France and the Netherlands. But, it was 35 years ago, sorry to hear Europe has allowed mayonnaise to be replaced with a sugar and tomato paste that is much cheaper for McDonalds to produce.

[@rozaw4288]

@@RedDevil_Joe Definitely still mayo here! (NL) (you can order a bunch of different things too though, like ketchup)

[@calebcain4729]

After all these years Colbert finally gets to try the Lord of the Rings perspective effect, making him look like an average sized hobbit sitting next to his human guest...

[@WiseOnion]

Personality as well.. he was in shaq's shadows at his own show

[@doggytheanarchist7876]

He punched a damn shark. 😳 This man is incredible.

[@TheloniousCube]

This was one of the best questionnaire segments

[@JerkzCrewInc]

Dude Shaq is always a treat and such an inspiration to do more for your community. I aspire to be like these two men!!

[@PigsNsPace21]

Bro when Steven asked, “what happens there?” In reference to worldstar and shaq stone faced says, “a lot” I was in tears

[@DaellusKnights]

This is by far the BEST one ever! 🤣 I got to meet Shaq a number of times when he was at LSU (I'm from nearby) and he will ALWAYS be one of my favorite humans 🤩

[@ita40200]

This is by FART the best one ever....

[@ericmiller93]

Sucks you have to live there though.

[@oneirishpoet]

Gotta admit that I'm not a big sports fan but Shaq is pretty awesome! 😅

[@shirleyrombough8173]

From LSU? Really? Me too. I saw Joe Burrow win us the national championship. Geaux Tigers.

[@ichristianrodriguez]

I watch all of these and his is def the best one yet.

[@odinson4364]

I said it once and I'll say it again. Shaq is one of the most realest people you can ever see

[@HayTatsuko]

I was _not_ expecting that answer for "favorite smell"!

[@sirtainlee8725]

I have seen Shaq many times. Lately with Charles a lot. I have never seen such a big and lovely smile, all teeth, as when Steve compared his fart detection skill with that of a master sommelier's. Pride and Joy.

[@Jlemus01]

Shaq is By Fart one of the best 😂

[@RedRoadWoman7]

"Barkley is going to hell!" LOL!

[@merlapittman5034]

Not being a sports fan,I didn't realize that Shaq has such a great sense of humor!

[@eternyti]

Stephen: Favorite smell? Shaq: Farts. Stephen: Least favorite smell? Shaq: Limburger cheese. Sir they have the SAME SMELL!

[@HellHunter00]

Since Shaq's a connoisseur, I wanted to know how he liked Limburger cheese based farts.

[@japhyryder66]

How dare you question Shaq! 😂😂😂

Even if Shaq hadn't been one of the most dominant players the NBA has ever seen, undoubtedly, he would have been an extremely successful entertainer. Comedy is right up his alley, and he has one of the greatest genuine personalities in the world.

I live in Newark, NJ. He was born here and has returned, in great measure, everything he got from growing up in the City. He builds things. When he builds housing, he always reserves 10 to 15 % of the apartments for below "market rate." He has preserved iconic art deco pieces to re install in his structures. Gotta love Shaquille

Vladimir Putin would be terrified by Shaq and American power. He would fill a room with charisma and size! Long live Shaq.

You should watch some Shaq highlights from from his career. You'll be more impressed. Guy is hilarious but he was a monster on the basketball court. Like a true freak of nature.
