WITH MARIAH CAREY. AS IF THAT DIDN'T ENOUGH, HE'S A
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR US. HE WAS WATCHING "TRENDING."

THE MARRIAGE THING. WHAT?
I SAW YOUR FACE? WHAT?
>> WE NEEDED YOU IN "TRENDING." YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD
GUEST. >> I WAS IN SHOCK.
CONTINUE. >> WE HAVE SO MUCH TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT. ONE OF THEM IS A HUGE HONOR.
THE KENNEDY CENTER IS GOING TO HONOR YOU.
YOU'VE HAD EVERY HONOR. OKAY?
OSCAR, CHECK. GRAMMYS, CHECK.
THIS IS AMAZING. >> I MUST TELL YOU.
I'VE BEEN WATCHING THIS SHOW FOREVER.
JUST, YOU KNOW, IT'S A BODY OF WORK.
IT'S REALLY -- IT'S NOT THE
GRAMMYS. NOT THE OSCARS.
IT'S REALLY THE COUNTRY. IT'S YOUR COUNTRY, SAYING WE
RECOGNIZE YOU AS A CREATOR. AND JUST -- WHEN I GOT THE NEWS,
I MUST TELL YOU, IT WAS BLINDSIDED ME.
>> WE'RE SO HAPPY FOR YOU. THERE'S CONTROVERSY ATTACHED.
NORMAN LEAR WAS SAYING HE WAS GOING TO BOYCOTT PART OF THE
CEREMONY. GLORIA ESTEFAN SAYS SHE WILL GO
BUT SHE WANTS TO DISCUSS
IMMIGRATION. WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THAT
STUFF? >> I HAVE TO PLAY IT BY EAR.
I'M NOT REALLY HAPPY AS TO WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW, WITH
THE -- THE CONTROVERSIES. AND THE WEEKLY, DAILY, HOURLY.
I THINK I'M GOING TO WAIT IT OUT AND SEE WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE,
BY THAT TIME. THIS IS GOING TO BE IN DECEMBER.
WE MAY B BE IN A WHOLE -- >> OTHER WORLD.
>> -- OTHER WORLD BY THAT TIME. I'M GOING TO WAIT IT OUT.
I UNDERSTAND NORMAN'S POINT OF VIEW.
AND I UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE AS A COUNTRY RIGHT NOW IS GOING
BACKWARDS. ALL WE CAN DO IS SIT HERE AND
HOLD OUR BREATHS. STAY TUNED FOR THAT.
>> WELL, SPEAKING OF STAY TUNED, YOUR VEGAS RESIDENCY, IS GOING
TO WELL. HODA HAS SEEN IT.
AND I KNOW YOU HAVE A GREAT ANNOUNCEMENT.

INTERVIEW. AND I REALLY GOT FAMOUS.
>> EVERYBODY WANTS TO SEE THIS SHOW.
>> STARTING IN DECEMBER. WE START BACK IN VEGAS IN
DECEMBER. THAT'S THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
>> YOU'RE ADDING MORE DAYS. >> ADDING MORE DAYS.
>> RIGHT. MORE PEOPLE ARE DYING TO SEE
THIS. ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT
THIS SHOW, IT IS ONE MASSIVE SING-A LONG.
>> YOU DON'T MIND IF WE SWING. >> IT HELPS ME.
AFTER THIS LONG, I'VE FORGOTTEN MOST OF THE LYRICS FOR THE
SECOND VERSE. IT'S SO FUNNY.
I FIND MYSELF ON STAGE WATCHING THE CROWD.
THE CROWD -- ONCE THE CROWD IS ON THIS SHOW.
"DANCING ON THE CEILING" OR JUST TO BE CLOSE TO YOU.
OR EASY LIKE SUNDAY MORNING. THERE'S SOMEONE -- WHAT I DO
NOW, I SHOOT THE AUDIENCE. ♪ EASY
EASY LIKE SUNDAY MORNING ♪ >> OH, THAT WAS GOOD.
OH. I KNOW YOU.
>> SAVANNAH -- >> THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU.

WHAT HAPPENS IS THE CROWD PICKS OVER.
AND I FIND MYSELF GOING, REALLY? REALLY?
YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT? THAT'S WHERE THE EXCITEMENT IS.
>> WE LOVE YOU.
