- The Magic Hour was an American talk show hosted by basketball player Earvin "Magic" Johnson. The series aired in syndication from June to September 1998.
Soon after its debut, the series was panned by critics citing Johnson's apparent nervousness as a host, his overly complimentary tone with his celebrity guests, and lack of chemistry with his sidekick, comedian Craig Shoemaker. The series was quickly retooled with Shoemaker being relegated to the supporting cast which included comedian Steve White and announcer Jimmy Hodson. Radio Personality and UPN Sports host Kenny Sargent was considered for Johnson’s new Ed McMahon styled side man but finally comedian and actor Tommy Davidson was brought in as the new sidekick and Johnson interacted more with the show band leader Sheila E. The format of the show was also changed to include more interview time with celebrity guests. - wikipedia an American talk show hosted by basketball player Earvin "Magic" Johnson.

This show was so ahead of its time. Magic taught us the existence of the word cringe before everyone else!
🤣🤣🤣 that's about right
I'll always applaud Magic for stepping out and taking risks. His dreams were always bigger than him.
True that, the show was terrible and he wasn't good at hosting, but definitely give him props for trying something outside his comfort zone
@best I'd hate to think what that then makes you
@best He has HIV, you ignorant idiot.
ME AND MY LIL SISTER USE TO STAY UP LATE TO WATCH THIS SHOW, AND THA SHOW AMEN!!!
All i can think bout is aries spears making fun of him 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember those Mad TV bits! Hysterical!
@@xxxYouTunesxxx yes sir too funny
@@vintageeagle8853 The thumbnail alone is like a mad TV sketch
Just watched it on Mad TV. Lmao
@@repyatwar how ??
22:38 Magic reading the prompter 🤣
*Still better than "The Chevy Chase Show"*
Watching a blank screen is better than the Chevy Chase show
True, but that don't mean much.
Maybe not.....but thank you
Definitely the late night talk show of all time
So bad it was good
@@FreightlinerFLD lolol
I remember this talk show very well,watched til the very end.
I used to watch this show every night when I was 13
I never saw Magic play basketball but seeing him as a late night host for the first time, I thought he did really good 🙌🏽
No, he was terrible
Get your head examined, pronto!
Us 80's-90's babies were so blessed to have grown up in this era
Even Howard couldn’t save this train wreck!
Miss Shelia E a true legend!!!!
Not really.
She’s still alive whatchu mean, and she’s great!
Miss Earvin"Magic"Johnson One of the G.O.A.T. to ever touch a basketball.
I assume the show came to fill the void left by the cancellation of the Keenen Ivory Wayans Show.
MadTV did a parody of this and it’s hilarious
They nailed it too
This show aired on South African free-to-air TV station "e-tv" the very same day e-tv launched
(1 October 1998)
I'm surprised everybody didn't burn their tapes upon cancellation.
I remember this 😆 😆
LOL, he doesn't know what to say... look twins lol
great magic hour (1998 ) with magic johnson !!!
Searched this after watching the Magic Documentary on Apple TV+
thats alot of guest for one episode .
They were trying to do whatever it could possibly take to save the show as it was tanking at the time and that's why they had all those guests. However, this strategy bombed as the show ended in August of '98.
Unfortunately he can't keep up with the white late night shows, it wasn't bad but white people didn't like it.
@@adamsamuel8593 The only people who liked it were those watching it as a parody of Leno
In 1997, Magic Johnson and his production company Magic Johnson Entertainment signed a deal with Fox. In 1998, Johnson hosted a late night talk show on the Fox network called The Magic Hour, but the show was canceled almost 3 months because of low ratings. I know watching The Magic Show when it was aired syndicated on UPN affiliate WMMP 36 during the summer of 1998 (when the show debuted in June 1, 1998, it was after the end of my 5th grade year at Black Street Elementary School in Walterboro, South Caroling) during mid 1998. The short-lived syndicated talk show was hosted by basketball player Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
As bad as this is, The Chevy Chase Show was still MUCH worse.
Sheila E. and Lela Rochon were supa-dupa sexy!!
Lela Rochon looks like the actress Theresa Randle in this interview.
Wow this show was a disaster. Magic was wooden as an Indian. Howard Stern did some good material on the show.
I came here because everyone said this sucked and he was super nervous. He seems fine to me. I mean he isnt a comedian or something. I think he did fine considering. Idk
Didn’t last so many black host trying to keep arsenio legacy alive of late night television kenan wayans, magic, sinbad just didn’t work but I remember this as a kid
At the time white people had all the main say brother
I remember watching this when it aired, I was 9yrs old
Man to see a young Kobe Bryant with the Afro is such an amazing & yet a depressing piece of footage being that he just recently passed in 2020.
Who would’ve known that 22 years later he would be murdered in a helicopter crash with his daughter.
Love your family & enjoy your family everyday because we never know when we will be saying a long good bye
Kobe wasn’t murdered. He died in a helicopter crash.
Can you explain why you said murdered?
@@jpc.598 There is NO EXPLANATION for poster saying something THAT misinformed about a tragedy known WORLDWIDE🤦🏾♂️
We’re full circle now because Lela Rochon’s husband is directing/producing the upcoming Showtime Lakers project.
Damn Sip Kobe 5:23
The show sucked, but they had the best band leader ever.
I remember the Magic show
Love this show.
2:15 - 2:18 is definitely my favourite part of this show! Unbelievably cringe!!
The problem with the black talk shows are:
1) Ebonics.
2) Too much grinning teeth.
3) Too much dancing.
4) Not enough intelligence.
5) Endless mutual appreciation society - never objective if it's a fellow AA!
You certainly are opinionated when it comes to black people. How does feel to hate yourself?
@reelblack Do you have any Usher footages from talk shows?
Not that I can put my hands on. But u never know...
Wasn't there another theme song??? I remember I used to jam tpt that shyt
God....what a train wreck! And what a corny ass theme song. Thank god Stern crashed the hell out of this, then went on the show.
I don't think the music sidekick guy gets blamed enough for how awkward he was
honeslty Magic sitting down talking with the guests wasnt bad, he was a natural at that
its the other 15 minutes of bullshit that made this show hard to watch
Dude I was alive and well watching TV in 1998 and I do not remember TV and commercials being this bad lol. WTF
Well, i'm happy to find out that Lila Rochon has been married to Antoine ever since!
I know somebody who worked on the set and they didn't tell anybody the show was over. They showed up and the door was locked
LMAO!
My condolences.
Montel was definitely 6'8". He's eye to eye with Magic.
Tbh Mad Tv got me here cause I never heard of this show till Mad tv did it lol
Magic did not deserve Shelia E. and that band.
This is real cool
@Frans Delt that's what made it so funny..
Magic hour😮
Are you ready for Magic?
YOU'RE CANCELLED
I DON'T believe in Magic.
Still as Cringe as it was. i thought it would age well but no, lol. E for effort Magic. Comedy really is an art form
this show was soooo lame
This was one of the most awful shows in tv history. I remember when Howard Stern used to constantly make fun of him and his terrible show. I was hilarious. Back then you could make fun of someone without being called a racist. Oh wait, no you couldn’t.
If you couldn’t figure out that it was meant to say IT was hilarious then you are more stupid than Joe Biden giving a speech. Tard.
Still not over yet douche tard. I’m not surprised you voted for him.
What the hell is this lol
The twins thing was certainly bizzare
lets give it up for our twins!
Biggie Smalls,Tupac and Bruce Lee
heh... he was pretty natural at this ......
No disrespect please, but a shitload of money,gets you great health care.rp
Kid uncle smart using nephew to get the date
@5:23 young Kobe
✌☮ to the God's and the one nation crew 🌐
Way more Charisma than Kobe. Who has the clip of Magic saying he was cured.
No one could help him. There weren't enough Aid(e)s.
So edgy
Cringe hour
Very
Wow this is a train wreck
This was my jam in middle school!
R kelly on a mobile gas commercial?
This was 🚮🤣
4:36 is that Argyle from Die Hard?
From the start to the 6:40 mark is the worst comedy I've ever seen. Worse than Chevy Chase show, worse than Diff'rent Strokes when Sam joined the show.
OUUUUCH 4:35
What an embarrassing show.
God awful show
Let's be honest, producers,director, writers,all responsible for this mess,ps better then chevy.rp
Magic Johnson -- great basketball player, great guy, shrew businessman ... but lousy talk show host.
How long it lasted 3 months lol
Would you drink a cup of magic Johnson’s blood for a $1000?
A 1000?????
It would be the quickest $1,000 you ever spent.
He was just boring ironically since he was so entertaining on the court. But he did a fine job. Just isn’t a comedian. That was the template certainly that people were used to in late night shows. Magic isn’t that funny is all. Buuut he sure is RICH. Hell yeah! Da man.
Great basketball player... HORRIBLE host. I was embarrassed for him.
I can only find 2 episodes of this show on TH-cam I want to see another episode
Are you ready for Magic?
