Recently a video went viral that featured amazing kids
battling cancer.
They were trying to catch my friend Diddy's attention,
and they ended up catching mine.
Take a look.
[MUSIC - P DIDDY, "BAD BOY FOR LIFE"]
You ready?
Let's do it.
Hey, Diddy!
Won't you dance with us?
Yo, Puffy.
You going to dance with us?
We love you.
Puffy, come down and sit with us.
Come dance with us, P Diddy.
(SINGING) We ain't going no where.
We ain't going nowhere.
We can't be stopped now 'cause it's bad boy for life.
We ain't going--
[APPLAUSE]
Some of those kids are here today.
Come on out.
(SINGING) --going nowhere.
We can't be stopped no 'cause it's bad boy for life.
We ain't going nowhere.
We can't be stopped now 'cause it's bad boy for life.
We ain't going nowhere.
Hi.
(SINGING) We ain't--
Hello.
(SINGING) --going nowhere.
Hi, Ellen.
Hi.
(SINGING) --'cause it's bad boy for life.
We ain't going nowhere--
[APPLAUSE]
Hi.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my God.
This is fantastic.
I heard you were very excited that we called you.
Yeah!
I mean, this is really cool what you all are doing.
So why this song, by the way?
Why did you choose this song?
We chose the song by P Diddy, Bad Boy For Life,
because of the lyrics connect with us because in the song
it's-- we survive what we've been through.
And we're all battling cancer, and we ain't going anywhere.
[APPLAUSE]
So we brought you in.
You're from all different parts of the country.
And how do you like Los Angeles?
So far, it's been great.
I've seen a lot of stuff so far.
But I'm excited to go to like Universal because we're going
to Universal in a few days.
And I just am so excited to be here to see you
because I watch your show all the time.
And I love your Game Of Games show.
And I just-- I don't know.
I just love everything about you.
Well--
[APPLAUSE]
--thanks.
Look, I hate to pick favorites, but she is my--
[LAUGHTER]
Thank you.
All right.
And whose idea was it to make the video because it's
one thing to choose the song?
And, yes, the song has a great message.
But to put this video together, whose idea
and how did this happen?
It was actually the founder of our organization FAM,
Fighting All Monsters.
His name is Milk Tyson.
He decided to help shed light on the dark world that
is childhood cancer.
And so he thought that by making this video,
by getting Diddy's attention, that we
would get our point across that childhood cancer matters.
And it worked.
Yes, it did work.
I mean, we're here.
It got a lot of attention.
It got my attention.
It did get his attention.
He is on tour.
He's in Miami.
But, of course, he knew that y'all were going to be here,
so he sent a message to you.
Hey.
What's up, y'all?
It's Diddy.
I'm so bummed I can't be there with y'all today.
I'm stuck in Miami, but you're in great hands
with my girl, Ellen.
And I promise that we're going to be dancing together
one day soon.
Love you, guys.
Peace.
Yeah.
[APPLAUSE]
All right.
That was very sweet.
He's bummed that he can't be here.
But I have a gift for you, so we're going to take a break.
And when we come back, I'm going to give you a little something.
We'll be back.
Now, you know that Diddy is going
to see this at some point, so do you want to talk to him?
Do you want to tell him something?
Thank you for posting the video and sharing it,
and we're all bad boys for life.
That's right.
[APPLAUSE]
What is the date today?
I completely--
Thursday.
Thursday?
The 20.
I was completely wrong, wasn't I?
You were.
I had the dates wrong--
You did.
--all this time.
Diddy, come on out.
He's--
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC - P DIDDY, "SHAKE YOUR TAIL FEATHER"]
(SINGING) Girl go take it off.
We can even do it slow.
Take it where you want to go.
Just take that ass to the floor.
Pop something, move something.
Shake your tail feather.
Girl, go and take it low.
We can even do it slow.
Take it where you want to go.
Just take that ass to the floor.
Pop something, move something.
Shake your tail feather.
Now real girls get down on the floor--
Oh my God!
(SINGING) --on the floor.

a young Janet Jackson live in living color.
Look here, momma--
How you doing?

(SINGING) Capris cut low so when you shake it, I see your thong.
My pockets full of dough, shake your feathers till the morning.

I'm going to sit with you guys.
Oh my God.
Is this real?
Surprise!
Thank you so much.
Oh my God.
It's a pleasure.
And thank you guys so much for reaching out to me.
And I was so touched, just so touched
that this song that's helped me get through a lot of trials
and tribulations is fueling you guys to know the power that you
have in yourself to believe that we ain't going nowhere.
Y'all got me?
[APPLAUSE]
I'll tell you--
Wow.
Diddy, as you know, he is a very--
he's a solid man.
He's a strong man.
And he says what he means.
The last time he was here--
I want to show you.
Yeah, exactly.
She was asking what kind of table this was.
This was a different table last time.
Let's show everybody what happened last time.
Oh.
Oh, there you go.
I'm not afraid of clowns.
But I heard that you were.
[SCREAMS]
[BLEEP]
[YELLS]
[APPLAUSE]
[LAUGHTER]
I watched that a million times.
You watched that a million times?
Yeah.
It's funny, right?
Yeah.
And also this makes me very happy because I love the show.
You're bringing back Making The Band.
Yes.
[APPLAUSE]
Bringing it back Making The Band.
It's a reboot of the show, but we're
doing it totally different.
And we start our auditions in Atlanta this weekend.
And you can call me on my love line, 917--
917- 746- 1444.

This is my real number.
It's a number that I've given out.
It's my love line because I want to give out love every day
because everybody needs love.
Everybody does.
[APPLAUSE]
All right.
Before you get to do something really
fun, which is dance with this guy, my friends at Shutterfly
know that you're part of this amazing nonprofit Fighting All
Monsters, and they want to help fight the monsters
by donating $25,000.
Oh my God.
[APPLAUSE]
Whoa.

Y'all want to dance?
Let's dance.
[MUSIC - P DIDDY, "BAD BOY FOR LIFE"]
(SINGING) 'Cause we ain't going nowhere.
We ain't going nowhere.
We can't stopped now 'cause it's bad boy for life.
We ain't going nowhere.
We ain't going no where.
We can't be stopped now 'cause it's bad boy for life.
Straight from the Harlem streets.
I see you.
Oh!
Come on!

(SINGING) All of a sudden got a problem with me.
Black, what happened?
They run around acting like the black don't care eat.
And you know what?
I'm rocking.
(SINGING) For some strange reason
I want this medication full of deranged eating.
I'm going to catch you.
Hi, I'm Andy.

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
