Jimmy Kimmel is living his best life on vacation with Magic Johnson — thanks to a little photoshop!
On Tuesday, July 2, the late-night talk show host, 56, found a creative (and hilarious) way to join the former NBA star, 64, in Ibiza, Spain.
“¡Buenos Días from Ibiza! #MagicSummer,” Kimmel captioned an Instagram photo of himself with Johnson and his wife Cookie Johnson.

At first glance, it might appear that Kimmel was actually in attendance enjoying some fun in the sun on the couple’s boat, but the double shot shows the comedian posing for the photo.
Kimmel even took things up a notch by wearing a T-shirt with a photoshopped image of him and the Lakers’ living legend riding a jet ski together.
It’s also worth noting that the original photo can be found on Magic’s social media account.
“Thank you for leaving me so much space on the left side of the photo,” Kimmel commented, hinting at future antics.

On Magic’s Instagram carousel, he showed photos from his and Cookie’s travels with their friends, including other famous faces such as Samuel L. Jackson and his wife LaTanya Jackson and Cedric the Entertainer and his wife Lorna Wells.
The group had lunch on the beach at Juan Y Andrea.
“We ate the catch of the day, fresh sea bass and lobster… So delicious!” she wrote Magic.
Before Kimmel’s photoshopped broadcast on Wednesday, the famous pro athlete shared another set of photos on Instagram, announcing, “We’re officially on vacation!!”
Jackson, 75, and Cedric, 60, also appeared in a group shot with their spouses — as did Kimmel and his wife, Molly McNearney, in their own version of the television personality.
“Another #MagicSummer begins!” Kimmel captioned the fake photo.
The post prompted a response from Jackson, who joked about Kimmel not paying his travel expenses.
“@jimmykimmel still has Alligator Arms when the check arrives!!” Jackson wrote below the altered image.
The NBA legend and his wife, who is almost 33 years younger, became known for their luxurious annual vacations.

“Met so many amazing young fans! I’m thrilled because none of them were even born when I was playing basketball,” the basketball star wrote of their stop in Capri, Italy. “We were in the store today and everyone was chanting ‘Magic, Magic.’ ”
While in Italy in July 2023, Magic and Samuel posed for a selfie after “bumping into” legendary musician Clive Davis.
