Last night, Grantland editor-in-chief Bill Simmons returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he chatted about his unlikely friendship with NBA Countdown co-host Magic Johnson, Magic's idiosyncrasies, and how he tricked his daughter into hating Kobe Bryant, who hates golden retrievers.
Here's Part 2 of the appearance:
Louis C.K. describes his horrible experience on The Dana Carvey Show, how you learn more from failure than success, and why he does everything himself on his own TV show.
Bill is joined by comedian Nathan Fielder to talk about his new show on Comedy Central, how he got into the comedy business and why magic is making a giant comeback.
