Imagine you're interviewing one of your heroes and in the middle of that, the person says you're carrying on the legacy of a sorely-missed juggernaut of your field. The minute she got some privacy, I bet she either cried, screamed, or both at the same time. Anyway, I hope that hearing from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar about activism helps more folks get involved.

Sarah is completely star struck and I love it!!! Kareem is so rare.

Top Notch choice in requesting Mr. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to speak. He certainly embodies humility, respect, reverence, honors History, intelligence in every category shown, joviality, and clearly kindness. I have not been a person familiar with his life and that has now changed. What a worthy person to learn from and support.

Side note. Everyone should watch his classic scene in Airplane! For a non-actor he had the perfect line delivery, and that very brief moment of him looking around before grabbing the kid by his shirt collar was comedy gold.

And I'm sure he knew what she meant by "mitzvah". What a mensch. What a gentleman.

I love the banner under his name: *NBA LEGEND* That's all you need to know about this man. I had the privilege of watching him scrimmage some of my team (the Suns) and the rookies/tryouts during a hot summer day in Phoenix at Veterans Memorial Coliseum as a kid. They would hold Rookie Camps there, because (I'm dating myself) it was one of the newest facilities of its kind. This man created so many amazing memories for basketball fans. I know now that I was lucky to watch him play.

Such a kind soul you can hear it in his voice , see it in his eyes and smile and most of all in his example for generations of young people .. and now I have chills after what he said to Sarah about Robin .. he’s pretty right on , and not just about that about the hate and the planet too ! He is a true sports hero from an era of true hero’s!

Wow the way he talked about Robin Williams and complimented her unexpectedly hit me right in the feels. So heartfelt and just shining with humanity and admiration.

Yes! Thank you for asking about Bruce. Those two were freaking amazing.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar! Always admired him! He's an amazing individual!

This interview is so sweet and adorable and also thoughtful. I love seeing Sarah being a total fangirl without forgetting why she's there. And Kareem is his usual amazing self. Gracious, sincere, and thoughtful. So glad this happened.

Two of my favorites…. Loved how Sarah wanted to put her face in Karem’s hand. It was obvious there were honest feelings there.

KAJ is a really great American. I love and respect him even more now. What a gracious man!

Wow! ! 😃 Kareem telling her that she has: "... revived the spirit of Robin Williams", brought tears to my eyes. . . 😅😢😁

Trinidad 🇹🇹 American basketball 🏀 goat 🐐 Kareem-Abdul Jabaar! So thankful I watched his career & activism

I love the way he spreads positivity all around ever since he was inspired by the death of Emmett Till. That's what we need more of in the world

"Should I end it?" I'm so used to them being all sad a regretful and saying how they have to end it here, being able to just continue talking is beautiful. You can really see that she's meeting her hero and she doesn't know where her hands should go and it's adorable.

I met him in Eugene Oregon in the 70s playing at Mac Court I just remember he's so tall and very kind

Kareem is the best!!! He was my favorite player and it's wonderful to see him talk with Sarah (another favorite of mine) about growth life, being human and his role as an activist. Thank you guys!!!

She asked some great questions! I love this interview.

I am deeply touched by this, and wish it could've gone on even longer. But thanks to Sarah for getting this interview, and being so geeky respectful. What a great, kind, gentleman, and what a cute and thoughtful in terview.

I got to meet KAJ as a teenager and he was so gracious and down to earth. He signed a T-shirt for me and held his hand up and we compared hand sizes. My lady hand wasn’t even as big as his palm. At the time I didn’t really know what a big deal he was because he was so nice and chill.

He is a treasure.

As a 64 year old..I remember his USLA dominance..and what he went through..and I was a Celtic fan..what an amazing man.

This is a most delightful, insightful, touching and meaningful interview. Sarah's genuine excitement with his charm, heart, and humility was magic. More of this Daily Show! 💜✊

Sarah took this champ and turned him into a normal person who just took what was given to him and made the best of it. And it was just enough to make him a hero to many people. We can all be just as important to someone.

At one point, the caption read, "NBA Legend". Sorry, but Kareem is an American Legend. He is so much more than a basketball player.

Smart, gracious, what a man!

What a great guy. Also, RIP Mr. Rogers. I've never seen Sarah star-struck before.

Sarah is great, love her genuine interest in the guest and how open she is about preparing for interview, making notes so on and so forth

Great man! Sarah is so cute, gushing over Kareem.

Glad someone (network) took the chance to interview Kareem. We all know the major networks wouldn't take a chance since they think most wouldn't when we actually really would tune in. Great interview!

My man, I still remember the sky hook during those Championship games against the Celtics. What a great man. and Sarah what a joy to see on the Daily Show

I've watched all of the guest hosts - Sarah is the first one who actually gave me shives in this interview. I hope she gets a more permanent gig here!!

I haven’t seen any interviews with Kareem and I’m happy that he’s a gracious dude, even when he’s off the court.

Absolutely stunning, what a deep, emotional and honest interview, I’am really impressed and touched

It was absolutely adorable how enabled she was with him. Like a high school crush. I really hope she gets the gig full time.

Kareem also wrote some incredible Sherlock Holmes novels. The man has so much depth and breadth! 💜♾️

What an incredible interview at an incredible time, after Lebron made his milestone and talking about Airplane with Sarah! Really amazing!

This is so genuine from Sarah

This is one of the very best genuine interviews I have ever seen in my life!!

Kareem is a legend and a philosopher

I am 68 but was not a ball fan when he was young and in college but was very aware of him and as his professional life progressed and i was still unaware of how cerebral he was but my attention was always piqued with every mew revelation of depth and ease he had doing it all including movies and his complexity was on fire! Anyway, from Lew to Kareem, all his life was a great display of "poetry in motion"! Thank you Kareem, you are beyond anything else i can offer and thank you Sarah, i really enjoyed this!👍🏼

The very best interview I have seen in a very long time. THANK YOU SARAH AND KAREEM! ❤️

As odd as the interview was they both did an amazing job.

Wow, Sarah, there was a lot of heart in that interview. Thank you for bringing him.

Love everything about this interview. It’s so moving. And yes, We’re so different but the same! Thank you!! Why is that so hard to see for so many?? Like Bob said, “One love! One heart! Let’s get together and feel alright!”
