I’m a big Ohtani fan that’s why I now watch / go to dodgers game but Mookie, you are an awesome person and player. I know the interview was little disrespectful but you handled it perfectly. I cloud tell you responded with honest thoughts and what type of person you are. I hope you and the team have the greatest postseason. Go Mookie! Go Dodgers!
I'm a shoei Ohtani fan but how tf is your second question about Ohtani when you have Mookie in front of you? Yeah Ohtani is amazing but Mookie is also one of the best players in the Dodgers. This is so disrespectful
I totally agree, Mookie deseves his own praise as he is also amazing! I even thought he’d ask about his own records or as a team but not to create rivalry… so senseless 😒
Mookie often talks about Ohtani on his podcast & how humbling it is to play with him & how that makes him a better player. Instead of viewing Ohtani’s talent as a threat, he openly praises him to help maintain his confidence - cause when Ohtani plays his best, his team wins & helps them get to the WS. Also, the questions/topics discussed are all predetermined & approved by both parties, & the guest usually suggests the topics. So, this is all coming straight from Mookie himself.
Mookie Betts, future hall of famer and deserves the spotlight! While I love Shohei Ohtani, I feel like the constant comparisons can sometimes overshadow Mookie's incredible talent and contributions to the game. I appreciate both of these legends!! Here's to hoping they both shine in the playoffs and winning the world series!! 🏆
To the casuals Markus Lynn "Mookie" Betts is an eight-time All-Star, a six-time Silver Slugger Award winner, a six-time Gold Glove Award recipient, a two-time World Series champion, and was named the Most Valuable Player in the American League in 2018. He is also second in Wins Above Replacement (WAR) among active position players, behind Mike Trout.
Mookie often talks about Obrani on his podcast & how humbling it is to play with him & how that makes him a better player.

i’m sorry but this entire interview is disrespectful. Mookie is an amazing ball player and for you to undermine that with asking questions about shohei like come on…
These comedians must've thought it'd be a good bit to embarass him by comparing him with Shohei. Just rude and lame tho it wasn't that funny, mostly awkward.
Mookie often talks about Ohtani & how humbling it is to play with him, but that makes him a better player. Instead of viewing Ohtani’s talent as a threat, he openly praises him to help maintain his confidence. After all, when Ohtani plays his best, his team wins. Of course Jimmy is going to ask about Ohtani - he’s had a superhuman year & has set the bar to an unbelievable high. No one has ever seen a player like him before. I love Mookie, but let’s not forgot that Ohtani carried that team while Freddie, Mookie & others were out for most of the 2nd half of the season. Ohtani rarely takes a day off, not even the last few days when they had nothing to play for. Don’t hate the player.😉
@@Colleen-pr3qh don’t get me wrong, witnessing shohei’s greatness is amazing. I love that he’s a dodger for the next 10 years but if you’re going to interview an athlete come prepared with their achievements and no open the interview being disrespectful
@@chanzgolding9621 Shohei has been my favorite player since he came to the MLB, but this interview was supposed to be about Mookie. I turned it on to learn about Mookie not Showtime. It was disrespectful in my opinion as well.
With all due respect, inviting Mookie while pitting him against a teammate whom he very much respect is just not it. Both can be great at the same time, not sure why you don't ask him more of himself instead since he has a lot of materials to be asked about. Also, Ohtani has never been absent to give Mookie his flowers on lots of Japanese interviews. This is a very classless interview. I feel sorry for both Mookie and Ohtani cause this kind of BS gotta be so mentally exhausting for both of them.
As an Angels/Shohei fan, this is what Mike Trout kinda had to deal with as well. It bums me out because it's not Shohei's fault he's a once in a generation talent, but asking his MVP teammates endless questions about another athlete's feats is just awkward. I definitely understand how both of them would feel weird answering the same questions over and over.
Perfectly said what I was thinking, feel like Kimmel is trying to cause drama or tension right before the playoffs...They're teammates who obviously respect each other a lot and Ohtani has used every chance he gets to praise Mookie even before they were teammates (ie: when asked who impressed him the most last year Ohtani answered Mookie). Just lame to embarass your guest by using his teammate.
@@mikayocc Nah I think its the manner in which Kimmel did it in, he was comparing mookie to Sho and putting him down basically. It's fine if he just asks him about Sho (bc everyone is curious for good reason) but there's no need to compare their stats and purposefully putting Mook down.
@@Heybrotruthhurts I agree with you, there is a way to bring the subject on, but not like Kimmel did.... so disrespectful, you can see how uncomfortable that makes Mookie
I hope Mookie doesn’t have any underlying resentment from being forced to praise Shohei all day with these interviews. He’s a super star in his own right and should be given the respect and flowers he deserves.
This is awful, Jimmy Kimmel and the writers of this show deserve to go to hell. So freakin disrespectful towards Mookie. This is also one of the reasons why Shohei Ohtani keeps getting unnecessary hate. They don't deserve this.
I dont think this is a valid reason why ppl hate on ohtani though, this is the first time that someone has used Ohtani to put another player down by comparing their stats like this. It's fine to ask questions about Ohtani since everyone is curious but don't embarass the person you're asking by comparing them.
I grew up in Southern California. I remember watching the Dodgers and Yankees in the World Series three times. I was 11 the last time they met in the WS. I would love to see them go at it at least one more time while I’m alive.
Chill people, they prep Mookie ahead of time, he knows every question that will be asked and Mookie is cool af he doesn't have a huge ego, he knows they also wanted Ohtani on the show but he doesn't speak English so he's helping him out just like Magic did.
I felt a bit off when Jimmy suddenly asked about Shohei Ohtani. Mookie had already accomplished an incredible 30-30 season in the past, but the conversation quickly shifted to Ohtani hitting 54 home runs, stealing 59 bases, and how he’s supposedly faster than Mookie. Still, I thought Mookie handled it really well and showed a lot of maturity. It was strange to hear Ohtani questions when the focus should’ve been on Mookie. Let’s go Dodgers! Keep it up, Mookie!
Day after the Dodgers parade Mookie was at the bowling alley in my town competing in a tournament with the locals. Got to thank him for the amazing series and parade and then watched him bowl. Such incredible luck and good vibes. That's LA, all ❤️!
With so many pros in sports like football and basketball that have unbelievable physical upbuilds, it is a pleasure to see Mookie who looks like an "ordinary" fit person. He does wonders with physical ability. He is also very well spoken, I wish that his fans would strive to speak as well.
I'm Japanese. The Japanese media also keeps asking Dodgers players questions about Otani, and Japanese people are calling him a shame for Japan. There are similar people in America too. I hope Betts doesn't feel bad.
Jimmy Kimmel, is it too challenging for you to show respect to Mookie, the audience, the show, and probably, yourself? Ever think about how terrible this interview is conducted? I admire Ohtani, Mookie, and Dodgers, but I hate this interview.
Mookie Betts is my favorite player, hands down, but have most of the commentators never seen him before? Any awareness of his multiple appearances on Kimmel? (For his charity work, for Jackie Robinson, bowling, etc.). Or that the topic and questions were discussed with Mookie and approved by him before the show? This is what makes Mookie so special. He loves talking about Shohei. He’s no different than fans and is openly in awe of what he’s doing. It’s sincere, and with a huge smile. He loves this game, appreciates greatness, and isn’t like many who are insecure and driven by ego.
Everyone in these comments mad about the questions is hilarious. Mookie is a PRO and also an Ohtani FAN.. he has said it many times. Just laugh at the jokes and enjoy Mookie being himself as always💙
I don't like how everyone takes advantage of Mookie's humility. He has never been shy about saying how Shohei is the greatest, but everyone just makes him repeatedly say it in interviews when it should have been about Mookie. I believe the only reason these interviewers don't call Shohei for their shows is because Shohei refuses to speak English in public. So a teammate with such ready humility is the next best thing.
He kept cutting off Mookie, poor guy seemed like he wanted to give thoughtful responses and just never had the chance with Jimmy interrupting him constantly.
Reading the comments i thought this was gonna be a rough interview, but they literally talked about Ohtani for 60 seconds, mostly in a joking manner, then he was never brought up again. They spent just as much time taking about pickleball. Something tells me a lot of these commenters came from some dark hate hole on the internet.
This is a disrespect to Mookie Betts. He is one of the greatest players of all time. Stop comparing him to Shohei. They play different positions. They are both great players.
This is just too disrespectful. Betts is a superstar, and he has a great relationship with Ohtani. They are fantastic teammates, and we’re heading into the postseason. They are supposed to help each other and aim for victory, so why make Betts feel uncomfortable?
i watched the whole thing on my tv. am i the only one that felt like kimmel is trying to downplay mook? he's also a stellar player. we dodgers fans are happy to have both mook and sho on our team, discussions about whos the greatest and all that is very very lame when its only their first year playing together.. couldve worded so many things better but it seemed like youre only asking questions to offend mookie on purpose. hope mook doesnt take it to the heart. sucks too when ive seen shohei repeatedly gave mookie his flowers on media times. youre messing with these players chemistry.
This season I wanted to see one of the Dodgers or any other MLB players to be interviewed but I don’t want that anymore if the hosts are going to be disrespectful. Yes, Othani is great and I’m a big fan but that doesn’t mean that you have to be like this with his own teammates. Mookie deserves praise as he is one of the greatest as well. Hope Mookie just forgets about it and doesn’t take it to heart 😢
Jimmy, have you ever invited Harrison Ford and asked him in person if Tom Hanks is a better actor? I’m a Dodger fan Mookie fan, and Shohei fan, you broke my three feelings.
you have to have a gold heart to be working with Ohtani. everyone will continues to ask about him on YOUR interview. Trout has many of these during ohtani time in the Angels, now Mookie and the other Dodgers stars have to have the same experience, probably for the next 10 years. Good luck
Wait, I'm Japanese and of course I follow everything Ohtani does, but I like Mookie, too, and that's the first question you ask your guest?? You are great but Ohtani is better what do you think??? Nahhh that's rude and I mean the fact Mookie doesn't get offended and answer those questions calmly makes me like Mookie even more but c'monnnnn. It's ruddeeee. Mookie, you are awesome! I'm a big fan. I wanna run into you at a tennis court one day where you are playing pickleball!!!
those were very weird first questions lol. why did you have mookie on just to tell him that shohei is better than him? kinda strange to try to pit them against each other like that. i dunno.
He shouldn't even be doing this interview. He is still slumping and need to take some Batting Practices. He is a known choker in the playoff. You don't see Shohei doing these kinda interviews when these times could be used to getting ready for the next game.
@@ayydubs987 10 minutes? Are you that gullible? People don't just wake up and go there. It takes time to decide what to wear, get a clean haircut, shave and everything. It takes at least a day for all the planning. The choker is already planning to play with his bowling team after he drags down the team in the playoff. Why else do you think the Dodgers continue to get eliminated early year after year. This is why Shohei and Teo was brought in, to carry this chump and show gullible fans what it is to win.
@@JohnSmith-nj4zq To be fair, Mookie hasn't performed well in the playoffs over the past 2 seasons, however, if it weren't for Mookie's postseason performances in 2018 & 2020, the Red Sox and Dodgers would never have won the World Series those two seasons. Mookie is due to come through in 2024!! Go BLUE!!
After reading most of the comments below, you have to realize that it's the Jimmy Kimmel Show. Jimmy asks questions to his guests all the time to see if he can get them off balance. He wouldn't be Jimmy Kimmel if he didn't. Mookie, being who he is neutralized him and caught him off guard by answering the question(s) honestly. We all know the saying: "Game recognizes Game". Mookie is an amazing talent that recognizes that Ohtani is somewhat a freak of nature and an amazing player also. That's just the kind of person "Mook" is; you heard him, he goes to public parks to play pickle ball because he LOVES it! Mookie is also a very humanitarian type of guy. After winning his 1st Championship ring with Boston when everybody was out on the town celebrating, he was out on the town feeding the homeless. His acumen on and off the field is a testament to future Hall of Fame status. Ya Betts Believe It!!
Guys, there’s no crying in baseball. You take the chops and go harder next game. Ohtani is currently the topic and face of the game and collecting hobby. Love to see Mookie take it like a baseball player and keep rolling, now hit more homers so your cards go up too😁

Yes Jimmy needs to think before he does these interviews… He tends to do these awkward interviews I am noticing with a lot of people.
Mookie is a realist and very grounded person. He recognizes amazing talent and regardless of his statistics, he gives credit where credit is due.
ネタ。
If this host is more interested in Ohtani, he should have invited Ohtani for the interview and not pick Mookie's brain about Ohtani.
Such a horrible way to open up this interview talking about someone else n saying he’s better than the interviewee. Do better man cmon.
That man showed up wearing sunglasses indoors. If Snoop Dogg can go on that show without wearing sunglasses then so can he

@@Yordal それはわかるけど、ムーキーに対して大谷が現れたからドジャースの顔では無くなった的な言い方をするのは、聞いてるこっちも嫌になる
大谷の54-59を称賛するのにどうしてその前にムーキーが30-30だって言う必要があるのだろう？
大谷の話をするのなら普通にスーパースターであるムーキーが大谷のことを称賛しているのを視聴者は聞きたいのでは？
もしくはベンチ裏の面白い裏話とかさ
対立を笑いに変えるにはあまりにもデリケート過ぎると思った
Mookie's a class act!
Red Sox legend Mookie Betts!
We love mookie Betts
just curious which team Jimmy support?
Mookie Betts is one of the best players in this league, just saying
Oh stop! Jimmy and Mookie are both having light fun.
People are so sensitive
Mookie mookie mookie...huge fan Sense he was in Boston 💯
I like both Mookie and Shohei, but I don't want to make Mookie feel uncomfortable right from the start.
The opening question is very rude.
Come on Jimmy! Give Mookie some respect. He could have been the MVP himself. Let’s give him some props.
Mookie is great player/human being
those were very weird first questions lol. why did you have mookie on just to tell him that shohei is better than him? kinda strange to try to pit them against each other like that. i dunno.
As a dodgers fan, this interview concerns me…
Do you think there's tension there?
He shouldn't even be doing this interview. He is still slumping and need to take some Batting Practices. He is a known choker in the playoff. You don't see Shohei doing these kinda interviews when these times could be used to getting ready for the next game.
@@JohnSmith-nj4zqthis interview is less than 10 minutes. you think that's gonna affect his playoff performance? really? you bozos are so annoying.
@@ayydubs987 10 minutes? Are you that gullible? People don't just wake up and go there. It takes time to decide what to wear, get a clean haircut, shave and everything. It takes at least a day for all the planning. The choker is already planning to play with his bowling team after he drags down the team in the playoff. Why else do you think the Dodgers continue to get eliminated early year after year. This is why Shohei and Teo was brought in, to carry this chump and show gullible fans what it is to win.
@@JohnSmith-nj4zq To be fair, Mookie hasn't performed well in the playoffs over the past 2 seasons, however, if it weren't for Mookie's postseason performances in 2018 & 2020, the Red Sox and Dodgers would never have won the World Series those two seasons. Mookie is due to come through in 2024!! Go BLUE!!
I won’t be surprised if Mookie never comes back 🤣
After reading most of the comments below, you have to realize that it's the Jimmy Kimmel Show. Jimmy asks questions to his guests all the time to see if he can get them off balance. He wouldn't be Jimmy Kimmel if he didn't. Mookie, being who he is neutralized him and caught him off guard by answering the question(s) honestly. We all know the saying: "Game recognizes Game". Mookie is an amazing talent that recognizes that Ohtani is somewhat a freak of nature and an amazing player also. That's just the kind of person "Mook" is; you heard him, he goes to public parks to play pickle ball because he LOVES it! Mookie is also a very humanitarian type of guy. After winning his 1st Championship ring with Boston when everybody was out on the town celebrating, he was out on the town feeding the homeless. His acumen on and off the field is a testament to future Hall of Fame status. Ya Betts Believe It!!
Yeah Mookie! 👏👏👏❤
Some really tough questions Jimmy.
I love this guy.
Luv Mookie!
Guys, there’s no crying in baseball. You take the chops and go harder next game. Ohtani is currently the topic and face of the game and collecting hobby. Love to see Mookie take it like a baseball player and keep rolling, now hit more homers so your cards go up too😁
Really jimmy Kimmel wow 😯
This is so unlike Kimmel to interview his guests like this. What happened?
He sucks
Sadly, it's not. He does this to actors and athletes all the time. It's cringe- worthy.
The dancing is from ohtani and the coach playing dragon balls at the dugout😅it’s starting from Ohtani when he got onto bases😎
OG Mookie Betts!
Class act
"I'm pretty sure everybody in here is familiar with ghosts." CRYING
this is gonna spark something in mookie.
Mookie did a lot for the Dodgers this year; he covered SS and RF.
Bro didn't even mention Miguel Vargas as a friend in the White Sox😮
Such a cool guy Mookie! You could’ve asked about his comeback from injury.
I agree with the comments about Mookie being disrespected but side note: Why did Mookie show up to a late night interview wearing a cap and shades?
Mookie mookie mookie!! That my bro I his fan 💯🥇#1
Mookie Betts do entertain us🤙😅
