It is no secret that Magic Johnson is one very successful businessman. He tells Jay that he only made $400k per year when he was playing basketball for the Lakers. After retiring Magic had stock in the Lakers, over 100 Starbucks stores, his own theater chain, and several restaurants to his name. Magic famously sold all his Starbucks chains and divested himself of much of his stock to invest in bringing a football team to Los Angeles. Magic teamed up with one of the richest companies in the U.S., AEG Live to bring football to LA. Jay Leno mentioned that Magic quietly also purchased Soul Train, the TV series and brand. Jay wanted to know if he did that to destroy the footage of a young Magic Johnson dancing on the Soul Train floor. We all know by now that if Jay brings something embarrassing up he must have acquired the footage as well. Jay doesn't disappoint, Jay shows the footage of Magic on Soul Train in the 80's. Magic laughed but apparently he is trying to resurrect the Soul Train brand and bring it back to TV.
