After working alongside Shaquille O'Neal for the last few years, Ernie Johnson has picked up in some of the big fella's mannerisms and pace of speech while working on the set of NBA on TNT.
He's caught onto it so well that he's even developed the innate ability to speak just like his coworker on command.

“He's looking at his phone and he looks at me and he says: ‘Ernie, if you sing this song with me right now, it'll get like 20 million YouTube hits,'” said Johnson. “I got a show to do Shaq — ‘OK, maybe when we get done.'”
While he's probably skipping on the wheezing out of respect, EJ's impression is spot-on and he's truly taking a liking to his coworker's fun-loving persona and his YouTube-obsessed ways.
