While the series does not debut on the streaming service until next Friday, April 22; and the series had its first public showing at the SXSW Festival in March, Johnson hosted a premiere screening of the first episode last night, Thursday, April 15, at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood. Below are his opening remarks, delivered to an audience of luminaries that included former "Showtime"-era Lakers teammates Michael Cooper, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Norm Nixon, Jamaal Wilkes, and A.C.
