Watch Shaquille O’Neal Interview Mila Kunis About Christmas

While Jimmy Kimmel takes the week off for his son’s surgery, a slew of guest hosts will be taking his place. Seven foot tall former basketball player Shaquille O’Neal kicked off the week Monday evening with an adorably charming Mila Kunis interview.
Kunis is undeniably the more charismatic of the duo, inserting joke after joke to offset O’Neal’s awkwardness. But in the end, the contrast between the actress and the athlete, both physically and behaviorally, makes for decent entertainment as we wait for Kimmel to return.
Watch below as they discuss Christmas gifts (Kunis’ husband, Ashton Kutcher, celebrates the holiday), the Dodgers, and Kunis’ Halloween costume.

Why I became the Forward’s editor-in-chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
