www.vladtv.com - For those who didn't know, in 1991 Earvin "Magic" Johnson revealed his positive HIV status to the world on the Arsenio Hall Show, and during a recent interview with VladTV, Arsenio reflected on the emotional struggles he dealt with while being present for the announcement with Magic. Arsenio explained that because of his close friendship with Magic, he wasn't thrilled with the idea of the basketball star making the announcement on his platform, and urged him to instead reveal his HIV status on a different talk show. However, Magic insisted on addressing the public on Arsenio's show because he felt "comfortable" there. During a phone conversation between Magic and Arsenio the morning before the show was set to shoot, Magic made a very important request to his friend. "You got something else you got to do dog. You got to help me live forever, man." Be sure to tune into the Arsenio Hall Show on the WPIX channel in New York, KTLA in Los Angeles, WGN in Chicago, and other varying channels across the United States, late night, Monday through Friday.
