The Milwaukee Bucks forward was a guest at the show and talked about his family, his father's foundation, and his love for sweets, finishing the episode by trying to talk trash to Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James.

Minhaj tried to make Giannis more confronting toward the other league superstars but it went hilariously wrong.

For example, he said 'Joker, how are going to make it through the Finals when you look like you could barely make it through a Burger King drive-through?' about Jokic but things quickly turned when Giannis had to trash talk Kevin Durant.

Immediately after reading the pre-prepared sentence, The Greek Freak started talking about how much he admires KD's game and how he was his idol growing up.

When it came to LeBron James, Giannis didn't even read from the teleprompter and just straight up started praising the Los Angeles Lakers forward, once again proving that receiving a harsher word from the Bucks superstar is sometimes impossible.
