Magic Johnson wants Peyton Manning to play for Los Angeles Rams

Hall of Fame basketball player Magic Johnson knows who he wants to quarterback the Los Angeles Rams in 2016: Peyton Manning.

Johnson told Jimmy Fallon while on The Tonight Show he hoped to see Manning, who will turn 40 in March, with the Rams in their first season in Los Angeles since 1994.

Johnson said he was "first in line" to get season tickets for the Rams when the team announced its move from St. Louis.

Johnson and Manning both visited The Tonight Show on Wednesday.

"I was working on him backstage," Johnson told Fallon as Manning sat a few feet away.
