US basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal (Shaq) has become the new face of a 'Breaking News'-style digital campaign to promote events for the Abu Dhabi Calendar, according to the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi).

Shaq made a surprise on-screen appearance in front of a live audience at the Abu Dhabi Calendar winter season launch event, ahead of his visit to the emirate this month for the highly anticipated pre-season NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2022.


During the event the basketball star debuted his comedic talent in a series of short studio sketches scheduled to be aired over the next five months.
