Wow.
Yeah.
[APPLAUSE]
Yo!
This energy in here is crazy.
Crazy, right?
[APPLAUSE]
It's crazy.
Quick.
I love-- I love what you've done with the place, man.
It's so much culture and soul, and melody up in here.
I'm saying, you know?
I'm saying.
I didn't know if this was Ellen or BET.
I'm saying--
You know.
We've got a little magic going on, man.
Speaking of magic, man, let me-- hold up.
Just-- did everybody see the shoes, by the way?
Everybody see the shoes?
I see you shining, boy.
Hold on, now.
I see that.
The diamond shoes?
Bro-- and that was your song you just walked out to, right?
Yeah.
That was my song, featuring Jacquees and Ty Dolla $ign.
"Nobody Else."
It's almost gold.
I appreciate y'all.
Still making music.
Still doing it.
Absolutely.
That's what I'm saying.
You're still making music, you're
hosting The Masked Singer, you have your radio show,
and you're back in college?
Yeah.
Now, you're graduating in May, right?
Walking across that stage in May with my BA in criminology, man.
And my masters-- I'm still going to graduate school.
My masters in psychology, and hopefully my PhD
in divinity and theology.
Wow.
Keep it going.
Wow.
That's the goal.
I've got to get to May first, though.
I gotta get to May.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm about to say, man, how do you-- when do you sleep?
I don't.
OK.
I don't.
On the planes, in the backseat of cars.
In class.
Mhm.
Yeah.
I just got caught--
if you go online and Google Nick Cannon sleeping in class,
there's a bunch of pictures with my mouth open.
But yeah, man, cause I mean, it's a lot of traveling,
obviously.
But I mean, college work, these exams and these papers
are real.
So that's the only time where I really-- you know,
I try to stay focused, but sleep--
I have too much fun awake.
Life is--
Yeah.
Life is so much fun, man.
That tells you, someone who's truly happy,
they try to get as many of these hours as possible.
I see that, man.
And what's really interesting, too, and I want to know this,
is you decided to go back and focus on education.
Why education?
Because you've been in show business for so long.
So why to go back and get the degree?
I learned that lesson, man.
It sounds very cliche, but it's like, education is true wealth.
You know what I mean?
All this material stuff, the diamond shoes, and all--
it doesn't really matter, because all that stuff
can be taken away from you.
But the one thing they cannot take away from you is
your knowledge.
Mm.
[APPLAUSE]
Amen.
Yes, sir.
Now, look, let me switch gears for a second,
because something you said got a lot of attention.
Uh-oh.
You said that you would marry Mariah again.
Aw, here you go.
Now, I'm just saying--
You're supposed to be my boy.
You know I gotta ask.
I'm just saying, what did Mariah say about that?
If Mariah could dance like your pregnant wife,
I'd marry her tomorrow, too.
I remember Mariah at nine months.
She wasn't doing the stanky leg.
And she had two babies in there, but naw, that
was super impressive, though, man.
That was amazing.
But no, obviously I said I probably would never
get married again, because I'm still
working on myself and trying to become a better man.
That's what I said.
OK.
And I said-- but if I had to, I've already been there.
I know what that's like.
I would go back home first before I would do it again.
Absolutely.
So I mean, I don't even know.
Mariah, she's fine, everything's happy.
We're having an amazing co-parenting relationship.
Our kids are so happy, so I'd rather just-- you know,
it's calm waters.
Let's just keep it-- we got it, baby.
Absolutely.
Keep it calm.
Keep it lovely.
See, that's my kids, my mama, Mariah, we're just hanging out.
We look happy together.
I love that.
Now, let's switch up.
You're here to talk about The Masked Singer, man.
Yeah.
Y'all like The Masked Singer?
Y'all feeling it?
Second season, man.
Yeah.
[APPLAUSE]
It's in its second season.
Yeah.
It's already been picked up for a third season?
Yeah, we're coming on right after the Super Bowl.
You know we're giving it to 'em.
Wow.
It's going, too.
My dude.
So let me ask you this-- you've already filmed the show, right?
So you know who won.
See, there you go.
See, you know who's who.
I don't-- I got amnesia.
Oh, OK.
I don't remember how it actually happened.
But naw, you know what's interesting about this show,
because it happens so fast and it
is in such a live environment, that a lot of this
stuff that you do, you--
I'm watching the show, I'm like, oh, I forgot about that clue.
Oh-- and I'll be confusing myself, right?
It is-- but it's even, like, right there you see--
Ninja?
My man Ninja, and my kids.
They love him.
Right.
And they kind of-- they were guessing at home,
and they was like, come on, dad.
You know who that is.
And I don't like to lie to my children,
so I was just pantomiming, like--
it might be him.
It might be him.
And they picked up on it.
They guessed it, so it worked out.
Love that man.
Look, when we come back, we're going
to play a game with Nick Cannon.
Uh-oh.
Hi, I'm Andy.
Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel
so you can see more awesome videos,
like videos of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things.
Like ball peen hammer.
And also, some videos of Ellen and other celebrities.
If you're into that sort of thing.
Ah!
[BLEEP]
God!
