Ellen Plays Matchmaker for U.S. Open Champion Naomi Osaka and Michael B. Jordan 

Akshat Pande amen everyone always focuses on the wrong thing

Such an excellent point of recall!

Well said❣️

Japanese culture

I think that if you didn't do that it would have thrown her off her game.

So truee

That koala in Wild cartoon movie?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

She is hinata

J C i loge her too

J C right the honesty was like aww

"awesome sauce"???

You dont talk much but write entire letters huh?

It's her boot lip, you know her big hanging lower lip

Not for long

COZ SHE IS BLACK,

Black Chinese

Shy but she might be humble too

@@greatomeister675 wrong Haitian Japanese

thats her Japanese side most people are like that in Japan children learn to respect elders and are humble

theabstrakt84 nah that’s just her period lmaoo plenty of white, Hispanics, asians , black & etc, have shy..down to earth and considerate people...it’s not a asian thing to be shy & down to earth but continue.

@@yomommastupid what do mean Japanese dude I'm haitain I'm the same way

Black velvet Is the Revolution yea, nobody has any culture because all cultures matter/same, so let’s not acknowledge any distinction whatsoever

theabstrakt84 Her Japanese side disowned her mother because she had a child with a black man and she left Japan when she was 3 years old...then she moved to Florida with the haitian side of her family and THEY raised her..so not only does her get her manners from her Haitian side..shes also gets her athletic ability from her BLACK side...so nice try

Gotta thank her father :)

hahaha nice seeing you here after seeing Yuta's video and yes she is a just so sweet right .

If only she could talk

apex sam Dude she is far too shy.

I like how humble she is. She's not bragging about her success and the money. And she is a very sweet girl 🤗

3.8 million.

...Ellen's cut is .2

😁 lol ...

100,000

I mean... she knows how much she made. She was the one who got the check....

🙋🏽‍♂️

Exactly Y I'm here lol

Here Iam

LOL

🙋🙋

emxne What do you mean on another level?

Christina Leon just know another level, if you don’t understand it can’t be understood

Kelly_Yoncé I mean is it a good thing?

She's too cute huhu

@@christinel2569 yes

Demi S1606 You have a big nose

No she doesn't

Ellen is a player -- but this little girl is too young for the dating world.

She is just teen -- the guy she likes is in his 30s. Too damn old for her --- typical teen love

😂😂😂

Devabrata Saikia , too sad that her biggest moment is ruined by that giant SERENA WILLIAMS which she could have done after the match in press conference.

Shame on your mother for having you

@@ig6894 You are not knowing

Ig 😂

49jubilee obviously not a literal giant, genius

I thought so too

Yeah lol. Adorable

Great interview ellen! I'm glad you clear things up for her and the crowd, it wasn't her she's being booed on.

Just imagine she has probably been watching Ellen for years overseas. Flies to the US wins the Open and then meets her, she has every right to be a bit starstruck. Ellen is one of the most famous chat shows in the world

😍❤️

globalcitizenn I agree with you wholeheartedly. Naomi is very rooted and down-to-earth, which is TOTALLY un-Hollywood. Congratulations Naomi👩🏽🏸

I couldn't have said that better!

100% I'm hungry for more like her and PRAY that they don't PREY on her. I'm actually glad Adidas is a sponsor vs. an American brand that will try to sexualize her or boost her ego and convert her into what Serena is now. I also hope, like most Asian moms, Naomi finds herself a 'nice Asian' boy or some 'normal' kid (regardless of color) who doesn't know anything about Hollywood. That's the best way to stay sane.

VisualDisplay07 😂😂😂

Actually it's honesty and integrity..! Naomi Osaka is the best role model for the mellennials..!

Manning Bartlett No one deserved the controversy.

And she won it again this year!

Have you been to Japan? 🙄

For real

thank god

She was raised the Japanese way, hence the manners and grace in comparison to her opponent who had lost hers along with the tornement.

im bored

You sound ignorant. You act as if you've NEVER gotten upset nor angry in your ENTIRE life. She was being accused of cheating, getting bad calls on her, doing something she wasn't doing, so she had every right to get angry about it. John McEnroe and Andre Agassi had tsunami level temper tantrums, did you say the same thing about them?

@ So you can call white people "devil" now?

Tonia Johnson This is not the first time Serena loses her cool when she is losing. She has no grace, loud , potty mouth. Ugly too.

Yeo Kenjjo, Naomi is a lovely girl , her Japanese culture is her heritage, I love Japan and people, to be like Mr. Williams she would have to take a lot of Testosterone ( male hormones ) It is unfair to match Williams with real girls. , hello from Canada ヨオケンジョョ、ナオミは素敵な女の子、彼女の日本文化は彼女の遺産、私は日本人と人が大好き、ウィリアムズのように彼女は多くのテストステロン（男性ホルモン）を取らなければならないウィリアムズと実際の女の子 。 、カナダからのこんにちは

Of course she ain't. Japanese athletes are humble and are not know for steroid abuse.

When you compare their playing style. Maybe watch Serena's first grandslam wins to get perspective. There's nothing wrong with the comparison, both are incredibly inspiring women. Also Serena and Venus have been through an ordeal as black women and really paved the way for other women of colour, like Naomi, Even Naomi recognizes that.

Serena is her idol. Her father has said he watched videos of Williams coaching his daughters and modeled Naomi's play on the Williams' game.

Supermelanin different personality and Japanese athlete are more humble and they have culture

Very Asian.

oh yeh

Yes!

Yeahhhhh

moi

Me

Somebody please give the president the same advice. :-)

Karen Gutloff that’s normal not interesting

It's the culture

It's call minding your business I believe.

thats her Japanese side ! most Japanese are like this humble besides she is hafu/mixed

@@yomommastupid lol, true. But many ppl r like tht, not just Japanese (take me 4 example)

As a Japanese person, I agree. Although it is true that Japanese value humility, that does not mean that by being Japanese you are automatically a humble person. All races have their respectful people and I'm sure both her parents, who raised her exceptionally well, are proud to have her as their daughter

@@yomommastupid absolutely not, she was raised in America so her parents did a good job, beside if she was raise in jappan they would destroy her self-esteem over her skin color.

Lmao its her japanese blood that makes her that way. Name 3 more ppl from haiti that have the same calm personality like her. I will wait. Besides the average american ( like Ellen ) are too hyper.

I do think that she is a sweetheart

Ellen is very skilled she knows how to deal with curve balls and draw people to her

Not just that, shows will feed guests alcohol backstage to get them to be more chatty. As an athlete she probably avoided all the free drink :)

No way your britt johnson.

Naomi talked enough. She's just shy and quiet.

Agreed :)

Same! I couldn’t help but watch this smiling!

O SNOOPY SNOOP COLEMAN I watched it twice 😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️♥️

Ellie Bellie Watermellie You Smellie It is refreshing to see someone so humble... She inspires me and I'm in my 50's!! Lol

Chuey Lopez You’re right it’s very hard to find nice Americans. And I’m American and I can be nice ✌🏻♥️

Ellie Bellie Watermellie You Smellie Me too!!! I mean I was giggling the whole time like I'm a teenager :)

Michael B Jordan***************

Michael B Jordan is said to already be dating someone ..I'm glad she's not trying to disrespect another female.

Ellen disrespected her, putting her at the same level as a Hollywood bum.

She's just mumbling 'no' in protest as Ellen continues to text MBJ LOL

Kay Em Serena or Michael??? I think you’re talking about Serena but just to make it clear lol 😂 I think I’m slow

🇭🇹

wow what about serena? she lost due to racism

@@Rhyme905 Serena is supremely great to me. This is a video about the new queen.

I predict at least 2 or 3 more slams and a rivalry/friendship between sabalenka and her...

@@Rhyme905 she lost because she wasn't the better player

@@Rhyme905 Serena, who will do anything to make it about her, even when she's getting her ass kicked all over the court.

Exactly, just like Trump.

+blameitonablackstar I'vе spеnt *9 dаys, 13 hᴏurs and 45 m𝔦nutеs* on YouTub𝗲 s1nc𝐞 14.5.2018! Ch𝗲ck y𝞸ur stats: acpts.viewr.stream

Yes That's true. Thanks to Ellen

@Josh White , the ones I saw asked Osaka 10% about herself and then 90% Serena and what happened with her.

Watch the one she did with teen vouge, that was good too

@Josh White , well I answer. Ellen asked very little about Serena. She asked about what Osaka felt about the match. She is here because she won the US open. None of the other interviews asked personal non-tennis questions.

No offense, but it would be a lot more proper if she hadn't brought up the "controversy" that happen on the court and asking her about it. I haven't seen one interview where someone didn't ask her about that crap.

Jewell Smith yes ❤️

Haitian parents, yeah i know the feeling

Truth

yeah! and shohei ohtani , her favorite baseball player, Nishikori revealed what he heard from her.

i think Naomi would have a heart attack!

Is that you in the pic tho?😍😍😍

Sabrina flebert 😂😂💀💀

Sabrina flebert we are all dying laughing to your comment hahahaha great

Hahaha good one

more like a cougar

Boy from Compton*

"Misunderstandings" 🙄😂

@Summer Treneal Was thinking the exact same thing. This interview really exemplifies how good Ellen is at her job because she was able to ask the questions in a way that completely gave me a different perspective and more of an insight into who Naomi is. I've been binge watching lots of her interviews after her win and it's so true that the majority of interviews focus on the drama. I was so cringing at the MBJ stuff but it was really fun at the same time.

Ellen. Leave the poor girl alone! You making her feel uncomfortable. Trying to hook her up with MBJ and embarrass her on national tv. He doesn't even date dark girls. And nice thing with the payola crap. By giving her a Free TV.

Masta P What does payola mean?

Ellen that was hilarious. I am dying laughing, the selfie, the TV, the comments about the money. new Naomie fan here. HaitianJapanese girls rule!

lenzaa j hahahahaha

Danielle Alabi being shy doesn’t mean innocent 😂

Only if she can match his life

Cesar Gonzalez They are both private people.

Faxx

what she doo babyyyyy

Kwahi is on another level.. At least she got social media, watches tv...

That is also the discipline and attitude of someone raised by a Haitian parent. Some of you are disregarding her very Haitian father and beautiful Haitian culture and my spirit does not sit well with that. 🥴

Or maybe thats her regular personality

She looks in the mirror every fucking day... no chance she doesn't think she's pretty.... that would be impossible.

Wow ur so judgmental. I would hate to know u.

I am more than an American who migrated after killing all Indians, I have been regular in Japan for a long time The Japanese are I think that it is good. Human rights

That's Japanese moral

That's Japanese norms though

' but she is a champion she should feel like one

Serena Williams tried to make her feel like a champion. Serena was very nice and gracious toward her.

@@mewho6199 too bad sje wasnt to the ump lmao

James Baldwin exactly 👏🏽💯

Kap_DP ‘Cause confidence isn’t cute.

Yh cause everyone has to be shy and act like her 😂

Both are refreshing

You sound insecure?

@@SupernaturalLove100 ikr. Confidence intimidates him. I see

She's just shy and humble....and shut up, Kayla.

Serena acted more like a 7th grader. Naomi was mature beyond her age given how big the occasion was

@@Kayla4217 oops, I didn't get the joke...

@@common_inconvenience9924 oh, the joke is that OP is marveling at her shyness and humility and called her an angel. So I said sarcastically if you're into girls with a 7th grade mind, which is meant to say that girls between the ages of 11 and 14 typically behave the same way that Naomi does, therefore Naomi has sort of an immature, naive disposition, as if she were a minor. Hope that helps.

Kayla4217 Serena has no class. She acted like 7th grade. You Americans act crazy. Naomi is so humble . She acts like 20 years shy girl

What, do you mean when Ellen (like all the news reporters) asked her for her true feelings about playing against her opponent or the parts where Ellen offered her free stuff and pressured her to take a photo for a boy when her culture clashed with it?

OBiWan, Don't feel bad! A strong competitor she is. And it is probably one of the best experiences of her life! She wona grand slam! She played her childhood hero Serena! Her hero Serena told her she was fantastic! The only bad thing that happened was that she is misunderstood the tennis crowd for a few minutes--- she mistakenly thought she was being booed, but then she quickly learned she was NOT being booed, the umpire was being booed.

Obi-Wan Kenobi come on man ya ya people booed and she is the shy type...don't lose sight of the fact that she beat the best player of all time that's 16 years older than her, she is a world champ at only 20 yo. She is a celebrity and a millionaire... A lot of opportunities ahead... Why would you feel bad??!

Me too Obi Wan

Yaaa-YWG Third Eye she’s not a “world champ”, she won the US Open

What about her dad? What did he do?

@@joshuakiniram7812 Lol teaching her tennis, being there for her!

@@catastrophegirl8029 Ik that, but no ones gives credit to him.

@@joshuakiniram7812 Well I believe Naomi have mentioned her father a lot but then again maybe people just wanna talk more about her Japanese side.

Serena and Venus did an interview a while back saying Naomi was a good kid and that her level of play made her “dangerous”. Had the match been distraction free I think Serena would’ve been better at congratulating her in front of the world.

Me too...

I cried when she does that.

+Montae Williams Serena deserved what happened, she stirred up the drama to deflect from her losing, shift the blame to the umpire, she pulled the sexism, mother, feminist cards. She became the victim rather than losing gracefully, this is the second time she has lost to Osaka btw. last time it wasn't on a big stage. Her ego got the better of her!

Bad?? Why?? First of all it was silly of her to do it made no sense..and second of all it was fake no way she was sorry... But totally unnecessary in any regard... Just thank ur opponent for a nice match get the trophy and money and run...

Sarah Absher hhh kkiwoooo

I was saying that ellen did an excellent job interviewing her. This poor girl went to several interviews where all they could do is ask her about serena. She won and the interviewers should've made it about her.

@@sarahlee988 She was disrespected in this interview, and it wasn't just about that cheap gesture of giving her a TV set.

Totally agree with u 👌

I agree!

she was raised in the United States?

@@MadameTime1 She's japanese.

@@tubeee87 she was raised in the united states

No drama or “ermahgerd” like most other girls at her age.

I think you mean "abnormal" because it would be hard to find a centered, down to earth, humble, gracious 20 year old out there. She is so refreshing!! Unfortunately all the abnormal girls have become the "norm" which SUCKS for society.

shy lil teen on a show ofcourse she will be shy

im hoping hollywood doesn't corrupt her.

What Hollywood, people? 😄 You’re making it sound like she’s an actress. She’s not exactly on TV, she’s a professional athlete and this is like her second TV appearance. A lot of professional athletes are down to earth and normal because they just work hard all their life.

have a seat drama queen

In the name of Jesus, Amen!

She doesnt need protection you twat. She's a champion and a warrior.

Sincerelyy Eccentric --💯

Richard Ralph Roehl exactly what?

Yeah not at all the personality I expected from a competitor at her level, she seems very sweet

She's half Japanese...so her personality actually matched their culture to be honest. She's so sweet. :)

Jekyll and Hyde shit lol two different personalities

She doesn't really open her mouth when she talks and that adds to the kid-like voice.

She’s so shy. She sounds like a kid. Yet, she’s great on the court*

Agreed!

i read you comment too fast and thought you wrote 'a world chess player who's not desperate for attention' lol

It's the Japanese culture

@@user-dh1mc2nj5z she's not Japanese you dumbfuck, she Chinese

@@judleythegamer2555 ...she's japanese

@Jeremy Davidson "do you prefer to be called Jen or jennifer"? Jen Brady - "jen" Naomi - "ok. I would like to congratulate jennifer... " 💀😂😂😂😂

A precious spirit, indeed...

@Clay thats because shes half Haitian (black)

Huh?! She is black and Asian. She is both.

I wish everyone had Japanese characteristics. The world would be a better place. I identify myself with Japanese people more than my own Canadian culture. Born in the wrong country

tHiS iS nOw we Japanese are not friendly and really shy

cem_cem It’s the second time she beat Serena

Virtual Soul that’s true, and she played so well there too. That match in Miami likely was the cause of Serena’s frustration, but it was only first round and majority of ppl only watch the finals. Naomi plays well not only against Serena but all her matches. She will be around for a while if I had to bet

Virtual Soul also, I think being a champion is not about scoring, it’s about being a good role model to all the kids around the world that look up to you and get influenced by your behavior. You can be a great athlete but you will never be a champion

cem_cem roasted!!! U go

fooloof for starters majority of the audience booing at the ceremony I don’t think they were booing to support Naomi, I mean even if you disagree, that was not the place or time to do that Besides the comments saying Serena got robbed, if it wasn’t for the drama, Naomi wouldn’t stand a chance, when I posted my comment I could see these remarks, they got pushed back cause everyone is a Naomi fan now, bullying is getting worse by the day because we have such good MEGA role models lately

K.S. Tokyo 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹

@wendy louis she's half Japanese/Haitian

+titine tililine Born in Japan 🇯🇵Raised in America so no she’s not Haitian. She just has Haitian blood in her.

japanese parenting

More relatable than Jennifer Lawrence that's for sure. 'Regular person' smh

I giggled throughout her interview like an idiot:)

Okay they're both relatable, why does everything need to be a competition? :/

I bought myparents a tv i also bought my parents a new bed its all about the parents in asian cultureci always buy them food too

@@princessliuz916 Haitian too, and it's explained why she so shy cause in Haitian culture we shelter her children untill they're married.

Anzi Dong Nothing wrong with being called a young Serena!

I know let her be her fuxing self. A young Naomi.

When Serena is the GOAT in your sport, being called the young Serena is a huge compliment.

She has a much better personality then Serena.

When you are a young tennis player, your skills being compared to the superior skills of Serena's is a genuine compliment. Since Serena is Naomi's idol....she appreciates that compliment it in all the positive ways that it was extended. smdh!

Ellen is a very evil person

Donald Maxey you're always the good person I agree

A. Cammy I agree! Ellen did a very good job helping Naomi to be more comfortable and expressive! Gotta love Ellen!

Yes you are correct i love both of them

Yep. That’s why she’s a big star and has her own talk show.
