Los Angeles Lakers legend, Magic Johnson was one of the most well-performing point guards the NBA had ever seen. With his uprising fame in the late 80s and several accolades already under his belt, Magic quickly and swiftly established himself in the world of basketball. Late in his career, the 5-time champion’s immense popularity gave birth to the talk show, ‘The Magic Hour,’ which Johnson anchored himself. Though the talk show didn’t last long, it had a moment of magic with the appearance of its first guest, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
