The basketball legend will be the latest
personality to enter the late night talk show arena
starting next January. Magic said that he likes the
camera, and he hopes to stay on the air as long as Johnny
Carson did. Jay then proceeded to give him some important
tips. First, he showed Magic a special pair of glasses
with eyes painted on the outside -- they come in handy
when a guest tells a boring story. The next area covered was
the monologue. Magic and Jay went to the front of the
stage, and each took a turn telling the same joke. Magic
got a great response and proclaimed, "That's why I
have five championship rings." Another key component
to any late-night show is the band leader. Magic
announced that he was looking to steal the Tonight Show's
own Kevin Eubanks! Jay replied that Kevin was tied up for
a while, but his brother Bob Eubanks
was available. At that moment, game show legend Bob
Eubanks came out a displayed his ability lead the band
and fake laugh at Magic's jokes.
Jay's next guest, Justin Cooper, plays Jim
Carrey's son in the new hit movie Liar Liar. The 8
year old Justin recently had a run in with the Easter
Bunny. The Easter Bunny knocked on his door the night
before Easter and left a message for Justin to go to
sleep so he can fill up his Easter basket. Justin went
right to bed and woke up at five o'clock in
the morning to begin his hunt for some Easter eggs. Some
of the eggs he discovered had money in them, prompting
Jay to remark, "Only in Beverly Hills." After a
deep discussion concerning the old chicken-and-the-egg
debate, Justin talked about his recent encounter with
supermodel Cindy Crawford. Last week, he was on the Live
with Regis and Kathie Lee, and Cindy was
sitting in for Kathie Lee. Justin agreed with Jay that
Cindy is a beautiful woman, and he also bragged about how
she kissed him on the lips! This, however, was not his
first kiss. Justin has had a girlfriend named Amanda for
a year, which Jay pointed out is a large percentage of an
8 year old's life. Jay wondered if his girlfriend got
upset about the kiss. Justin replied that she didn't
complain to him, but she told his mother that she was
mad. Justin shrugged his shoulders and stated,
"Girls."
Melissa Joan Hart, Jay's final guest,
stars in the popular new television show Sabrina, The
Teenage Witch. Melissa is extremely happy that the
season of Lent is over. She gave up salt for the 40 day period, which
was extremely difficult, as she likes to put salt on
almost everything she eats. Melissa admitted that she did
give in to temptation once while she was at a restaurant
with her boyfriend. She ordered mashed potatoes, turned
her head, and had her boyfriend sprinkle some salt on the
potato. Jay stated that she'll burn in hell. Melissa
recently met Justin Cooper at the premiere of Liar
Liar. She tried to set him up with her little sister
who is only two years older than Justin. When the young
Casanova seemed intrigued, Jay scolded him saying that
his girlfriend Amanda is probably crying right now.
Justin looked to the camera and said, "No offense
Amanda!" Besides acting, Melissa writes an advice
column for Teen Beat. One question she often gets
is from girls asking her how to get a boy's attention.
Melissa's sound advice was that this is the 90's and it's
all right for a girl to ask a guy out. In fact, that's
how she started dating her boyfriend. Sabrina, The
Teenage Witch is on Friday nights on ABC.
