on this show Dikembe Mutombo [Applause] [Music] [Applause] oh man so much to talk about first of all how tall are you exactly 72 73 72 73 no one's been able to measure you they'd even airplane things we're getting to the feet we are getting to the feet let me let's do it now that you bring it up let's do it now sorry that's okay not the gun but no that's all right you were frightened speaking of losses what what how big are you oh my god how big is it can you take me have this shoe how big is your foot how big out what size of you do any good what you're at this is a 22 [Applause] those of you who don't know I've got a really big head I've got a big Ted Kennedy Irish head and this is I could get inside this thing and live for the winter this is giant may I have this here you go you take that back so you don't get those just you don't get any shoe store and just buy those right you just have to that's something you have to go through a special store oh okay I'm sure where you pick out your own alligator yeah now I want to I want to ask you about your name and then I may go back to your shoe just because of the gravitational pull would it your name dikembe mutombo by our standards in america that's a complicated fairly long name but it's not your it's not your whole name that's just part of your name what is your whole name my name is dukale Mutombo Poornima comedy Ken Jong's I wonder say it one more time please the camera thumb over under will come at the King John's at Wellington it's only nine names now what was it like in in roll call in homeroom in your high school it went on for five days I'll repeat are you here dikembe what does it mean sir I'd say Dikembe Mutombo dorm will come by the Kings Anzac want to forget it okay I can't do it why do you have so many names what why how does that happen it does each name have a significance they do in Africa where I'm from in Kinshasa como especially on my might why look at what people have a tendency to have a long name they come from when the child is born and the people who come to visit at the hospital and they have a chance to give the child a name they want to does that mean that pretty much anybody who comes in visits the child becomes part of the name so anybody I mean do you have a daughter because I heard that you have she's like 11 months old if I had come and visited and you don't even know me but if I had barged in and visited would Conan have to be part of her name if I knew that close it on my list you would give my child a name so if you have another child and I barge in and you know me now will cone and be part of her name just say yes that's just amazing to me that's incredible did you have trouble remembering all that all your life and does anyone there occasions where they use the whole formal name or you hardly ever use that name are only there for your passport it folds out many times that's amazing to me now you mentioned your tribe yes when you grew up there you were a fan of of television in America The Three Stooges I heard about this you were a big Three Stooges fan yeah I just like the way they acted a so silly what is it you liked you like the you like the the way they would hit each other and the way they hit each other under control and they have no sense than they are is that how you learned how to block in basketball it's pretty much part of your special technique what is it you want you mean because we got some stuff here and I was just curious if you what you liked when they would hit people with now is that right so this you enjoyed [Applause] what about this right here you don't like that one what about who was your favorite of the Stooges all three of them it was great I didn't like well Besser towards the end in dorita they weren't my favorites Andy you weigh it on this right yeah well I mean you know the curly Joe was alright but yeah right but curly did you like curly I like you now it must be hard for you because I liked curly when I was a kid but I have a voice that enabled me to do curly like sanely but well I just did it that was it talk about in here hey do you do a curly impression I don't know you want it's wire yeah well your voice is so deep fry I just say search soitenly and II almost gave you the Heimlich there I thought this might happen so we have some helium here I'll give you this and then just say soitenly all right Oren yep yep yeah whichever you prefer you're well over six feet taller than me I'm not gonna quibble in wha well here we go you have to suck it all in [Music] [Applause] that's the best impression of curly getting shot I just realized right now if you're not able to play in the all-star game because Conan O'Brien made you suck some helium I'm in so much trouble you can sue me yeah I think worst guy in showbiz is to go after you for the cash but go ahead before we go I guess I should I'm required by law to ask one legitimate question anyway the finger wag yes now tell me about the finger wag you used to do the finger wag after you would reject a shot you would do the finger wag at a player and they said you can't do that anymore I can't do it and at the beginning I said that there was a little bit of conspiracy you know because there was something that was giving me a lot of Fame's and the fan was
