Recently, Shaq spoke out about his brief career on Saturday Night Live. While he was never part of the cast at any point, Shaq was one of the many celebrities that have been given the honor of hosting the show over the years. According to TMZ, he says that he should be considered a legend after his appearance on the show.

When he was on the show, Shaq was part of a sketch called "Big Bernard" with Tracy Morgan. He says that he thinks that the sketch is one of the five best sketches that the show has ever done.

The sketch was pretty funny. It aired in 1998, and it depicted Shaq as the son of Morgan's character. Shaq is obviously much bigger than Morgan, and the showed played up the difficulties that Morgan's character was having while trying to discipline his enormous child.

Saturday Night Live has been on the air for more than 40 years now, and there are a long list of sketches that could be in the conversation about which are the best five or ten ever to appear on the show. But Shaq's mind is made up, and he thinks that "Big Bernard" deserves to make the cut.
