Shaquille O'Neal Takes The Colbert Questionert

[@wittymartin]

Shaq’s list of favorite songs 5:43 1. Since you’ve been gone - Kelly Clarkson 2. Broken wings - Mr. Mister 3. Karma chameleon - Culture Club 4. True colors - Cyndi Lauper

[@EnglishMike]

Or he's a big fan of Glee...

[@amietedeschi3203]

He’s a child of the 80s!

[@GregTidwellS]

and farts

[@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!

[@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.

[@salihbbas]

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.

@@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.

Unlike some of the other guests, it doesn't feel like Shaq is trying too hard. :)

[@professorsprout3382]

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

[@jamesmcinnis208]

I loved that too. It's a wee glimpse into his joyous spirit.

[@SickoXXII]

"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: 😐

That's no brag. That's, "I need a damned sofa at all times, son! Especially from coast to coast! Sheeeeet!"

He's too big

[@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.

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]

It really is 😊

[@Rgonzo143]

Ooo

[@tonymiller6847]

Ringo's was also good.

[@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 😅

[@jeffclement2468]

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

[@odinson4364]

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

[@michaeljimenez8747]

Just shows how dope Steve is. He actually made Shaq laugh laugh. Shaq usually stays collected but he couldn't help it.

[@marydonohoe8200]

Shaq is hilarious! He and Stephen are so natural together. Great fun!

[@eldiablo1000]

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.

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

[@lightbox617]

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

[@rikkiechambers4959]

Oh Shaq is so much joy in a big big package 😊 he always makes me smile and I am not a sports person at all but I watch him now every time he’s on anything !!

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