NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is one of the best basketball stars turned entertainers. Even during his prime, O’Neal showcased his talent for entertainment with his music and acting. Now he is one of the funniest guys on TV and also a very popular DJ who travels around the world to perform. DJ Diesel is currently on his tour of Australia and will perform at different venues. He also has multiple other appearances and DJ performances planned during this tour.

On Tuesday, Shaquille O’Neal appeared on “The Kyle and Jackie O Show” in Australia. During the show, he apparently flirted with TV host Jackie O Henderson. “Is that the lovely Jackie O? I don’t want to talk to you Kyle. I only want to talk to Jackie O,” O’Neal said.

O’Neal also hilariously said that when he moves to Sydney, the title of the show would be “The Shaq and Jackie O Show”. To this, co-host Kyle Sandilands asked him to do it and said that he needs a holiday. Later in the show, when Sandilands was speaking, Shaq joked that he is not even looking at him and is only looking at Henderson.

Sandilands started laughing and said, “You are just looking at Jackie, I’ve only just noticed now. It’s quite uncomfortable.” However, Henderson admitted that it was not uncomfortable for her and that she is loving it.
