It’s not easy to get one up on the big man. Comedian and Actor Marlon Wayans found out the hard way during his appearance on Shaquille O’Neal’s podcast. During the episode, they discussed the comedian and his jokes at the expense of NBA legends Shaq and Magic Johnson. But in the recent clip from the episode, fans have their attention strictly on Adam Lefkoe.

The co-host of ‘The Big Podcast’, introduced the comedian like he always does. “Our guest today has laughter in his DNA. The youngest of 10 forget school close they were passing down punch lines after I saw this man in ‘Requiem for a Dream’ my world was no longer fine. This man taught us not to be a ‘Menace’ especially while drinking juice in the hood to take a longer look at a ‘White Chick’ because it might not be all good. He helped paint our world ‘In Living Color’ and let us feel alive because me to go to school and say can I get a high five.

Speaking about Wayans’ and his career graph about his movies and TV show appearance. However, after the introduction, Shaq was quick to remind Wayans about the joke and his beef. Wayans’ latest special ‘Good Grief’ had a joke about the Lakers legend having a heavy tongue. Plus also joked about O’Neal ‘dying’ so the Big Aristotle offered him a ‘Liquid Death’ can so the comedian could feel the same.

Talk about a sense of humor from the 4x NBA champion. In the clip uploaded on Instagram, fans did enjoy the banter between the two. But fans also noticed Adam Lefkoe’s contribution, which did not garner any appreciation from Shaq or Marlon Wayans. Yet the fans did their bit and gave flowers to the media veteran.

Shaq and Marlon Wayans take a back seat for fans

After a well-collated introduction, it was obvious that the fans would take notice. The clip was meant to talk about the Shaq and Wayans’ beef, as the caption stated, “When you make jokes about people who can KICK YOUR ASS… @thebigpodwithshaq.” But the introduction felt personal for a fan. “Can we talk about how buddy introduced Marlon!? That was amazing! I got emotional and it’s not even about me…. Marlon deserves ALLLLLL of the things! 💐

Doing roles since 1992, Wayans did leave a significant mark. Requiem for a Dream and Living Color are his highest-rated projects by IMDB. So a fan appreciated the inclusion of popular titles and other significant projects. “The introduction was literally everything & facts😍👏🏾.” Some even suggested that the podcast co-host could be part of the Tour group for the comedian.

What an intro…u need to take this guy on tour with u!” Lefkoe did indeed hit it out of the park the way he did his introduction, but the fans couldn’t help themselves from cracking jokes at Shaq’s expense. Maybe because of the attire that the legend was wearing. “Absolutely nice Intro🔥🔥and Shaq 😂😂😂

Lefkoe and Shaq did work Tuesday nights on TNT, alongside WNBA legend Candace Parker and Heat legend Dwyane Wade. The show gave many moments of funny instances when Parker would roast Shaq, or vice-versa. So when he joined as the co-host for the Big Podcast, the synergy was already there. For the contribution, a fan did not forget Lefkoe as the GOAT alongside the guests. “THEEEE GOATTTTTTT 🔥.

So what do you think? Did Adam Lefkoe justify the reaction? Or did he overshadow Shaq and Marlon Wayans?
