The host called on 7-foot-1-inch Shaquille O’Neal to go head-to-head with Hugh Jackman in a game of “Phone Booth” on Monday night’s episode of _The Tonight Show_. Jackman and O’Neal are both given their own phone booths and told to get inside. If either contestant answers a trivia question incorrectly or their opponent gets a question right, another person will be added to the opposing player’s booth. Both the actor and the former NBA player answer their first question correctly, resulting in _Jeopardy_ host Alex Trebek climbing in with Shaq while a member of the Blue Man Group joins Jackman. The game only gets crazier from there, with several other celebrities being forced to cram themselves into the crowded boxes. The biggest takeaway from this segment? Shaq and Trebek definitely deserve their own buddy comedy. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4062608/hugh-jackman-shaquille-o-neal-phone-booth-trivia/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4062608/hugh-jackman-shaquille-o-neal-phone-booth-trivia/"},"headline":"Watch Hugh Jackman and Shaq Get Stuffed Into Phone Booths with Some Surprise Guests","datePublished":"2015-10-06T15:03:24.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:38.065Z","description":"Don't watch if you're claustrophobic","url":"https://time.com/4062608/hugh-jackman-shaquille-o-neal-phone-booth-trivia/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","jimmy fallon","Hugh Jackman","entertainment","TV","Late Night Television","The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4062608/hugh-jackman-shaquille-o-neal-phone-booth-trivia/","name":"Watch Hugh Jackman and Shaq Get Stuffed Into Phone Booths with Some Surprise Guests"}}]}] ```
