3:43 Magic must be absolutely thrilled, grinning ear to ear, now that his golden picks, Ohtani and the Dodgers, have triumphed in the World Series. Mission completely accomplished, Magic!
I’ve never smiled bigger watching the show than when I smiled at the end of the video when you finally got the invite. Seeing those Photoshops is one of my favorite pastimes, but it’s about time and you deserve it jimmy!
Ohtani is on 🔥! He had a slump for a min, but he’s on another level right now going for 60-60! I hope he gets it, even tho I’m a Dbacks fan. Because of him, there will be many more Asians in the game the next few years. He’s giving them that opportunity! Let’s go!
From what I heard, Ohtani asked his agent: 'can I defer it all?' And his agent said 'well, you have to take at least the league minimum.' So Ohtani said, 'ok, how about 2M a year?' And the rest is history.
Magic has the most infectious laugh! 😂 I was having a very rough evening emotionally and that entire interview lifted my spirits for a bit as I was headed to bed. ❤ You can see his growth/wisdom over the decades. Just a great man in general. One of my favorite Lakers ever 💜💛
HOW FUN! I am old enough to remember Magic back in the 80s. I graduated HS in 82. I had Bulls tickets too. I saw him play the Bulls many times. Im so glad he fought so hard to stay healthy. He has a very bad disease and he is one of the first to fight and live with it. He is an American Treasure. Jimmy, you are gonna have a blast next summer!💙🇺🇲🤗
magic johnson got hiv in early 90s...in time for triple combination meds discovered in 1996...people who got hiv way early were usually not able to hold on till late 90s (96/97/98) in time for triple combination and got fatal aids, no matter how rich or poor they were...magic johnson was also lucky enough to meet the discoverer of triple combination david ho by chance...any other rich patients who met with other unaccomplished aids "researchers" weren't lucky...its david ho, not other unaccomplished aids "researchers", lets say for example anthony fauci or robert gallo (who stole from hiv virus 1st and real actual discoverer montagnier)...look times magazine person of the year 1996 and david ho presentation in 1996 aids conference in vancouver...
5:55 to 6:37. This is why I love Magic man, he's such a great champion. He seems very pleasant to be around, but not afraid to speak the truth in a professional way at the same time.
Chinese fan here, me and my parents started watching NFL last season, and we saw Ohtani at Chargers' home game and then heard the commentator mentioned his record-breaking contract so we decided to give a try learing watching baseball. Now we see why these two sports are so prevalent in the states. The rightest decesion ever made I must say.
Good to see people getting into sports from other countries! They've got the NFL playing a couple games over in the UK and Europe the past few years and they are very successful.
Oh my gosh!! That was the best interview ever! My face hurts from smiling and laughing the whole time. AND......Jimmy got the invite. That's spectacular. This was pure joy.
@@brynneholt1990 Thanks to Curry and LeBron. Also, Magic, Bird, and several of the other 'skilled' players from that era also have Olympic gold medals.
Magic is easily Jimmy’s best guest. Dude is always soooo happy. How can anyone ever hate this man? So happy Jimmy finally got invited! Seeing Magic laugh is priceless.
‘Magic was banned from his own mountain’ 🤣 Johnson is truly an icon! Dude is a humble man. Jimmy and Molly are headed to the yacht finally! Very cool!!
I love how straight up magic is, anyone else in his position wouldn’t have commented about Bronny or Edwards that way. Kudos for saying what we’re all thinking.
Magic seems to be a genuinely good man, with a great sense of humor...It is GREAT to see him still around and so full of life after being diagnosed with Aids back in '93.🙂
Magic. Great business decisions made over the years. Late-night talk show didn't do so good, but props to him for giving it a shot. No risk, no reward.
Another off-the-charts Magic Johnson interview. So great. Very happy for Jimmy's no longer having to photoshop himself into Magic's vacation photos!!!!!
That laugh and palpable joy from a man that made his dreams, counting his blessings while paying it forward. He shared some wise advice as did Jeff Bridges. Happy for the Magic man!
Ohtani and LeBron are both the best all round player ever, in baseball and basketball. They both are strong and athletic, they both play against modern players, which means their opponents are bigger faster stronger, jumping higher, pitching faster, more versatile. They are the GOAT.
Magic has the best laugh!! He is such a joyful soul! ❤😂😂
Fake laugh. He is a cunning man.
He is now a part of So Cal culture. The championships, Showtime, the '80's Lakers Squad...we will always remember.
I love Magic! He’s got such an amazing smile! I get guff for being a Lakers fan in Indiana!
Sounds like RuPaul is stuck inside him
Magic is my favorite Lakers. He was Showtime in the 80s and 90s. And now we have Sho-time with the Dodgers! LA rocks!
Shotime made me a baseball fan.
same here
HE GOT AN INVITE!!! AHHH. He's so happy he's literally crying, special moment for Jimmy.
Yeah to be onboard with other rich couples....wish it were me and mine.
I bet his wife is more thrilled :P
Jimmy is always about to cry. Only here to see Magic
@@averagecommentguyI watch every night. I have no idea what you’re talking about.
@@corgising5606me too
I love Magic so much.. Always humble and laughing!
Let’s gooo Jimmy. Persistence pays off my boy 💪
I havent got to that part yet, but I already know what y'all are talking about. Spoiler alert!!!!
That's epic for him!
It's obvious that Jimmy absolutely loves Magic 😅
For Jimmy’s generation, Magic was THE MAN. Especially for Angelenos
Jimmy loves little children
Thank God we still have Magic with us...🙏🏿
The ' Magic Man', always put smiles in people's faces. ❤
That Magic infectious laugh never gets old. Legend!
Magic Johonson laughing makes me feel happy every time I hear it....
Kimmel and Magic are the best together. They’re so comfortable and funny, you can tell they’re legit friends.
I actually screamed when I read the title. Congrats Jimmy! It's about time😂😂😂
Magic Time!
It’s not like he pressured him on TV or anything. Ha. Whatever you gotta do. Can’t wait to see the pics. 😊
Magic is actually a big fan. Twice this year already hahaha.
Same but I need evidence like pics while in the yacht

how many more games does he have left?
3. They play their last series in Colorado, so you know he’s gonna hit some HRs! 😃
@@b-dub6865 nicee really hope he reaches 60/60
Corbin Carroll is half asian too!
@@b-dub6865He already got one tonight
Ohtani was the one who proposed deferring $680m until year 11 to free up cap space for the Dodgers. His desire to win is 2nd to none.
From what I heard, Ohtani asked his agent: 'can I defer it all?' And his agent said 'well, you have to take at least the league minimum.' So Ohtani said, 'ok, how about 2M a year?' And the rest is history.
@@ttman1233that’s way Magic laughed so hard
@@ttman1233
And the rest sure is history now that Dodgers and Ohtani are WS champions!!!
@@Zagirusthe fact that that they can sign a max fried level player next season is insane as well

Thank you Jimmy, loved seeing Magic Johnson. The time spent with him was so much fun!
💙
Big respect that magic gives ohtani a lot of praise and recognition for playing hard in baseball !!
Jimmy finally made it 😂😂

@ And that London series in July between Phillies and Mets. The stadium was fully loaded.
He's been an inspiration for so many kids!
He was already my inspiration when I was kid in the 80's here in GERMANY😂. Dam I'm old
Ohtani is big here in the Philippines, I've seen alot of Dodger jerseys and baseball isn't even that popular here
Kababayan!
Count me in!
Many not even a fan of baseball knows about him
baseball is popular
Don't tell such lies.
Otani is in a class of his own.
@@leonkincoln-dp8vs That's not it
Otani is a superstar in the sports world.
What baseball fans don't know
I don't have the right to watch baseball.
New fan here 🙋🏻♀️ … got into baseball because of ohtani ❤️🥰
What an informative interview. I love watching Magic. Great energy.
Million dollar smile this guy. Magic is the best I could listen to his stories for days
Magic definitely loves Jimmy and I love it. They've definitely got a strong friendship!
Thank You so much "Magic" Johnson for being a wonderful and intelligent man that represents "US" Super awesome. ❤
Jimmy Fallon just interviewed Shaq, and now Jimmy Kimmel interviews Magic. Laker legends are taking over, aren't they!
Byron Scott babysat me once when I was a little kid.😂
@SVUE-jj9jc
That's pretty cool. You're one of the only people in the world who can say that, and it is true!
Well, they made a documentary about the greatest of all time, Michael Jordan...
Nahhh
@@SVUE-jj9jcdoubt it
What a great guy and an amazing gesture.
Can't wait to see the pictures Jimmy Happy for you
Ohtani probably makes more money outside of his Dodger salary, 10x.
He makes nearly 100 millions with endorsement deals this year alone.
@@Shakazulu6.1 well, that’s about $100M more than I make from endorsements. 😞
Isn’t he going to be the first billionaire player in baseball?
@@davidh7832 according to Forbes he’s already 1/10th the way there,.
Shohei Ohtani is the Michael Jordan of Baseball.
And finally, at the end, Jimmy didn't need to ask (beg, shame) when Magic is going to invite him on his yacht.
Oh my gosh!! That was the best interview ever! My face hurts from smiling and laughing the whole time. AND......Jimmy got the invite. That's spectacular.
This was pure joy.
What a sweet man......even though i was a Celtics/Bird fan back in the mid 80s, living in the States(L.A.)!
When Jimmy vibes with a guest he is really quick! That Magic Mountain joke was spot on.
Magic johnson is the best. And to invite jimmy to his ship next summer, it brought me to tears. It was like he was inviting me.
Magic took it to Anthony Edwards"""TALK TRASH WIN YOU HAVE WON SOMETHING""" keep speaking TRUTH MAGIC.
Well, he does have an Olympic gold now.
@@brynneholt1990nah he meant an NBA championship let’s not digress 😅
@@brynneholt1990 Thanks to Curry and LeBron. Also, Magic, Bird, and several of the other 'skilled' players from that era also have Olympic gold medals.
@@brynneholt1990olympic gold pay you millions of dollars?
Jimmy has been waiting for this for years. I am so happy for him.
Magic is easily Jimmy’s best guest. Dude is always soooo happy. How can anyone ever hate this man? So happy Jimmy finally got invited! Seeing Magic laugh is priceless.
Yay to Earvin from Lansing. MI, his hometown.
I envy my older brother. He graduated from MSU in 1980, and got to see Magic at Jenison a lot. I STARTED at MSU in 1980 - just one year too late.
Go Green!!!
Go White!
‘Magic was banned from his own mountain’ 🤣 Johnson is truly an icon! Dude is a humble man.
Jimmy and Molly are headed to the yacht finally! Very cool!!
I love Magic, his laughter is so contagious!
I just love the Magic chuckles.
I love how straight up magic is, anyone else in his position wouldn’t have commented about Bronny or Edwards that way. Kudos for saying what we’re all thinking.
I saw Ohtani and clicked.
Just love Magic laugh. I could listen to him laugh all day.
FINALLY!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 I‘m so happy Jimmy gets to go on holiday with them. 😂
Jimmy's tears of joy werer so legit. He probably cant wait to get home and tell his wife about it!!!
His wife is a producer on the show. She's right there in front of the audience every episode, so she already knows. 😊
Congratulations !!! I'm so happy you got the invitation to join Magic. No more photoshop.
A great athlete, very smart with extraordinary sense of humor!!
Let’s go Dodgers with Ohtani MVP!
Magic seems to be a genuinely good man, with a great sense of humor...It is GREAT to see him still around and so full of life after being diagnosed with Aids back in '93.🙂
“He’s like a modern Babe Ruth”
No…he’s no Babe Ruth. That there is Shohei Ohtani.
His name stands on its own - he’s earned that.
"FO REAL" hit different when it's genuine!🤜🏾🤛🏻
Magic WAS wearing goggles at the celebration in the locker room at Yankee Stadium. 😁
As a baseball card collector, Thank you Magic and Ohtani..collecting going bonkers right now.
Magic is such a wonderful person! ❤
Love Magic. The invite was so sweet. Jimmy looked sincerely happy lol I hope he goes after all these years.
Magic Johnson is a legend and one of the GOATS of basketball.
Ohtani is great and potentially the GOAT of baseball(needs to win).
I see Magic I click I laugh & be happy😊
I am new fan of baseball because of Shohei
Magic. Great business decisions made over the years. Late-night talk show didn't do so good, but props to him for giving it a shot. No risk, no reward.
Love Jimmy Kimmel Live!!!!!
Always great to hear Magic on your show!
He is right Ohtani brings baseball watchers coming over the world to watch baseball including me
There is nobody like Magic! So personable, an excellent businessman, and awesome NBA legend. Great interview!
I’m a Celtics fan but I love Magic. His smile is so infectious.
There is nobody like the Magic Man. Such intelligence, humor, and charisma. Plus he could play a bit. 😊
Magic is still the Genuine Magic! Pure heart! ❤
From NBA To MLB NOW BECAUSE OF SHOHEI🎉🎉😂😂
Magic will always be the man.
Greetz from Germany.
Next summer can’t come quickly for Jimmy & Molly. It’s gonna be a helluva journey. Go Jimmy , you earned it. Magic is the greatest!!! ❤❤❤

Magic is very well spoken and always seems so happy.
😂 I’m so happy for Jimmy. Finally getting the invite!! Don’t eff it up
Jimmy
"You might wanna talk trash when you won something.." That is a flamethrower burn right there!
That laugh and palpable joy from a man that made his dreams, counting his blessings while paying it forward. He shared some wise advice as did Jeff Bridges. Happy for the Magic man!
Lmaoo watching for years and having Jimmy finally get an invite is insane lmaoo
I'm a simple man. When I see Shohei Ohtani, I click.....
Still has that infectious laugh. Never change Magic. 🪄✨️
Ohtani and LeBron are both the best all round player ever, in baseball and basketball.
They both are strong and athletic, they both play against modern players, which means their opponents are bigger faster stronger, jumping higher, pitching faster, more versatile.
They are the GOAT.
Lebron is a cry b, no where close to Ohtani
@@Iverson8811Come on now. They're both my favorite players.
why are you puuting a sheep with a goat in the same sentence? lebron? lol more like Kobe or Jordan. Those two people played offense AND defense
Sho hasn't won a thing, what are you talking about?
LeBalco James, the Balco King of the Los Angeles Lebrons!
When you got Magic interested in you like this...that's a big thing. -;)
And "can't get ahead of yourself.." - awesome
Decades…he always makes me laugh. ❤😂. Mirthful. So glad he’s still alive. Thank you scientists and doctors!!!
Amen!! And he looks great now. Remember at first he was all swollen? Now he looks really healthy!😊
Share your trip you and Molly take with Magic Johnson next summer 2025 on your show! I love each year how you try to get yourself on that boat!!!
Harris-Walz go BLUE 💙 Go Jimmy and Magic
Magic Johnson has a great smile 🤣❤❤ love this dude man 😁
Magic looking great these days!
