Laugh Track: Law And Order?

NBC’s Jimmy Fallon said Shaquille O'Neal “wants to become a sheriff in the next few years. As part of his training, he's actually been working as a dispatcher answering 911 calls. I'm not sure it's going to work out, though. Take a look at how it's going so far.”

The broadcast then aired fake audio of O’Neal talking to a caller.
Shaq: “9-1-1. I’m Shaq.”
Caller: “Wait, what?”
Shaq: “It’s 9-1-1. I’m Shaq. What’s the emergency?”
Caller: “I just got back to my house and it smells like gas.”
Shaq: “You think it smells like gas in your house? Try coming to my house. Not good.”
Caller: “What?”
Shaq: “Especially this week. We got Taco Tuesday. That's on Thursday. I like to mix it up like that. You can come if you want. I'm Shaq” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 5/9).
