A Comcast Voices operative was able to snag a couple moments of Shaq and Ben Stein’s time recently. Since they were handcuffed to each other at the time it was easy to ask them both a couple of very quick questions:
Comcast Voices: Hey, guys. Thanks for talking with me. You guys seemed to have a great time on the set. Was it as much fun as it looked?
SHAQ: We had a blast. LA was hot but Ben Stein was real cool Waa… wa… Good times with fun people. And I’m telling you, SHAQENSTEIN… watch for it…
STEIN: It was an absolute pleasure to work with a talent as amazing as Shaquille O’Neal. A genuine thank you to Comcast for putting it all together in a wonderfully professional manner. And not a bad deal either!
CV: Thanks, Ben, we try. So I heard a rumor that a special question was left on the cutting room floor…
SHAQ: Ben, you think at all on that marriage proposal….
STEIN: Shaq, I don’t think that made it into the actual commercial. So no one reading this will really know what you’re speaking of. And I might be thinking about it.
SHAQ: You accept and I might forgive you for not eating the carrot or sandwich I offered you when we broke for lunch…
STEIN: I apologized for that, but the carrot was half eaten! And with us being handcuffed for 12 months, some things like that are bound to happen.
SHAQ: hahaha! I was just kidding… maybe…
