Shaquille O’Neal, on a recent episode of “The Big Podcast with Shaq” played host to comedian Gary Owen, the American stand-up comedian and actor known for his role in the Screen Gems comedy movie “Think Like a Man.” A clip from their conversation recently emerged in which, Gary made a joke and referenced Dwight Howard, which made the Big Man laugh uncontrollably.

Dwight Howard, the former Orlando Magic basketball player, faced serious accusations when a person named Kitty filed a sexual assault claim against him. In denying these allegations, Howard was compelled to publicly acknowledge his non-heterosexual preferences. Persistent rumors surrounding Howard’s relationships with transgender individuals had circulated for some time. In one instance, he addressed the speculation on his Instagram, adding to the public discourse on his personal life.

Y'all can stop with the nonsense and worrying about all this bull crap. Y'all are worried about who people spend their time with. Whatever I'm doing in my bedroom is my damn business. That ain't for everybody and everybody don't need to know, y'all just weird.

Coming back to Shaquille O’Neal and Gary Owens. Shaq was responding to a story of Charles Barkley talking about him, and said:

My response to that is I don't want Charles Barkley talking about my beauty. I don't. I don't want Charles saying I'm attractive. Save that. Save that for somebody else.

Gary Owen responded:

Save that for Dwight Howard.

At this point, Shaq couldn’t stop laughing at the Dwight Howard joke. Of course, the two NBA legends were previously known to have a longstanding feud due to Howard’s use of the ‘Superman’ moniker, which was previously associated with O’Neal. Shaq had previously even questioned Howard’s HOF credentials.

Shaquille O’Neal once hosted a show called All-Star Comedy Jam

In addition to his much-lauded basketball career in the NBA, Shaquille O’Neal has hosted a popular comedy show, ‘The All-Star Comedy Jam.’ And going by its name, it brings together the best of comedians all under one roof, just like the NBA All-Star.

His comedy show has featured prominent comedy icons such as Kevin Hart, Mo’Nique from “The Mo’Nique Show,” Bill Bellamy known for “Insecure,” Earthquake from “Everybody Hates Chris,” Michael Blackson seen in “Coming 2 America,” and DeRay Davis from “Barbershop.” The series had also seen major names gracing the stage, including hip-hop legend Lil Wayne, the official Super Bowl pregame DJ Zedd, and DJ Diesel, Shaq’s alter ego.

The primary objective of the series was to spread joy and laughter. Shaq took immense pride in this initiative and wanted it to be a hilarious and uplifting experience.
