-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.
