In his first nationally televised talk show appearance in the US, Filipino boxing sensation and the current pound-for-pound the best boxer in the world Manny Pacquiao had a guest stint on the American primetime television talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC last November 3.
Manny was all smiles as he enters and the crowd starts to chant his name prompting host Jimmy Kimmel to say he don’t want to think he’s in a fight.
Asked if he has ever played Pacman, Manny replies “No” and that his dog’s name is Pacman. I think Manny is having trouble comprehending some of the questions.
Jimmy then shows a mini-poster of Manny’s upcoming movie Wapakman which Manny says is a superhero who can do everything. But when asked if he can get invisible and Manny replies “No”, Jimmy replies back, “Then he can’t do everything”. It elicited laughter from the crowd. To which Manny says, “It’s mixed, like Superman and Spiderman”. Oohh..
Manny was then asked, “You’re like the most popular guy in all of the Philippines right?”
He went silent and laughed as the crowd applauded.
Jimmy Kimmel then proceeded to ask questions ranging from Manny Pacquiao’s entourage and their “assignments”, to how many people he lived with, to why he named her daughter Queen Elizabeth and to his training with a stick.
The interview was in a light mood and Manny was relaxed and seems to be enjoying himself. He always smile and the audience laughs with him all through-out the interview.
Just watch for yourself the video of the interview:
Never to shy away from any challenge, Manny Pacquiao sings “Sometimes When We Touch” by Dan Hill.
Check out the video below to hear Manny’s golden voice:
I hope Manny’s bout with Miguel Cotto on November 14, 2009 will not be as disastrous as his singing.

Manny Pacquiao is naturally funny. He has some trouble expressing his thoughts in English but I enjoyed his interview. His voice is so-so though.
Congratulations to Manny Pacquiao.
