-I haven't been here in so long.
-Thank you.
You have not -- You were on our
very first "Tonight Show" ever.
-It's been years.
-So it's always been --
-Your very first one?
-My very fir-- Yeah.
-Oh, wow.
-So it's been five years,
almost to the date.
-Oh, wow.
-So much has changed.
-So much has changed
in five years.
-Oh, my God.
Congrats on the family and...
-Thank you.
-How -- How are the babies?
How are -- How is everybody?
-So good.
-Yeah?
-My daughter,
my 5-year-old daughter North,
and my 3-year-old son Saint
are finally getting along.
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah.
-It's like...
-That's fantastic.
-...the best moment as a mom.
-Yeah, you want it --
you want it to work that way.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
And you have baby number four
on the way?
-Baby number four on the way.
-Wow, good for you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah.
-That is so great.
-Yeah, but, you know,
I was kind of stressing.
But it's just --
my house is so full.
But I heard that parents of four
are the most enlightened
and calm of all parents.
-Really?
-The most calm, yes.
-Of four?
-Yes, I heard that, so...
Oh, my gosh.
I -- What -- What if --
Two -- that's all I have.
[ Light laughter ]
Am I -- Am I stressed out?
[ Laughter ]
I'm just nervous
and stressed out?
-I felt the huge change --
from one to two...
-Yeah.
-...felt like one to 20.
-Oh, really?
-That was like the --
That was harder
than two to three for me.
-Yeah, because you
just don't sleep anymore, ever.
-Yeah, yeah.
-You have to
just say goodbye to sleep.
It's all over.
I don't know when it ends,
I mean, 'cause...
-I feel like four is gonna be
really even, though,
because, I just -- you know,
right now,
it's like me with two always.
-Yeah.
-And Kanye just has one.
So he's, like, still living
his life, and I'm -- you know...
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah, and Kanye doesn't --
Yeah,
but this is what Kanye does.
-It's not making...
-This is genius.
This is North.
This is baby North.
She -- She actually fell asleep
on his head for thir--
[ Audience awws ]
-Yes.
-He said for like 30 minutes?
-So if you know anything
about Kanye,
you know
he can fall asleep anywhere.
-Yeah.
-Like -- Like a doctor's office,
I'm getting a sonogram --
he's snoring.
Like, any -- any place
I take him, he's snoring.
-He could
take a power nap anywhere?
-Left me in a restaurant once
in a meeting for him in France.
I didn't even understand -- they
were not even speaking English.
-Yeah.
-He falls asleep at the table.
[ Laughter ]
And, I mean, the worst.
So she definitely is him.
-Oh, my gosh.
It's so cute.
Oh, I thought about you
the other day.
I was watching
the State of the Union,
and they mentioned this woman --
was it...
-Oh, yes. Alice Marie Johnson.
-...Alice Marie Johnson.
This is because of you, right?
This is something that you
kind of campaigned for.
-A little bit.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-A little bit?
-Yes.
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
Yeah, me and -- I mean,
she's had amazing attorneys
working for her for two decades.
-Yeah.
-So I was the last push
at the end that --
-Explain the story --
How did you know about her story
or hear about it?
-I was honestly
just on my phone,
and someone
that I follow on Twitter
must have reposted a news story,
and I saw it.
And so I always say that
Alice's story came to me,
and I just felt
something inside of me that I --
if I had the power to help,
i was gonna try.
-And now she's -- she's out.
-Yeah. She's out.
-And you got to see her
reunite with her family.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah. Yeah.
-I mean, it's a beautiful story.
-Yeah, it really is.
And -- And I mean, to me, seeing
her at the State of the Union
was just such a message of hope,
because
there's so many people like her
that really deserve that.
-Yeah.
-And I was just so proud
to see her.
She was texting me,
texting me pictures.
-That's a big deal.
-I was so happy for her.
-Good for you for doing that.
That's great that you did that.
-Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Are you -- Do you plan on doing
more with criminal justice to...
-Yeah, well, you know,
we were all really behind
the First Step Act
that the President endorsed,
and they got that.
And so, actually,
a guy named Matthew Charles
was there at
the State of the Union.
-Yeah.
-He was the first person
to get out, so that --
from the First Step Act.
So that bill
got out thousands of people.
So we're working on getting
all of those people out now.
But something that
I really want to focus on --
I think there's such a stigma
on people hiring
formerly incarcerated people.
I think that, you know,
without people really knowing
their story and their history
about what they've
really been through, or maybe --
there's so many people that are
incarcerated for life for murder
that maybe
they were just next to someone
and they were a group of people,
and there --
a fight broke out, and somebody,
unfortunately, died.
But they
didn't even hit the person,
didn't even have a weapon,
and were serving life.
So they've gotten out.
And people like that deserve
a second chance at life.
-Yeah.
-And I feel like I definitely,
for all my businesses,
I would love to partner --
there's, like, a company --
ARC in California --
that helps find people,
once they get out,
and give them jobs
and counseling.
-You get them jobs.
-Yeah.
So I would love to hire
formerly incarcerated people.
And I think I would -- you know,
I would love to spread that
message that other companies --
and big companies
can do that, too.
-Good for you. I love it.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Here's why I love it.
-Mm.
-You do so much stuff.
I'm glad that you do this stuff,
as well.
-Thank you.
-That's really nice of you.
