-How's your family? How's your kids?
-Everybody is good, man.
Dropped my son off at my alma mater, Howard University.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you. -He's in college?
-I dropped him off. He's a freshman.
Dropped him off one weekend.
I left on a Sunday.
On a Tuesday he called me and said, "Dad."
I said, "What's up, son?"
He's like, "I found my wife."
[ Laughter ]
I was like, "Son, it's only been two days."
[ Laughter ]
School hasn't even started yet.
You got another week before classes start.
-Pace yourself, man.
-That's why I said, "Son, you got to walk down the hill."
He was like, "Huh?"
I said, "Never mind. That's another conversation."
[ Laughter ]
But then I was like, "Son."
Fallon's got it.
And then I was like, "Son,"
I was like, "You may miss out on finding your wife
because you think you already found your wife."
-Yes, of course.
-But it's cool.
He's actually following in my footsteps,
because I found my wife at Howard, so.
-Is that right? -Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-I didn't know that.
-It was -- It was her first week, not my first week though.
All right. Yeah.
-How is -- But your daughter is older?
-She's older.
She graduated from the University of San Diego.
You know, people think we're empty nesters. Nope.
Found out a new term -- boomerang.
That's when you -- that's when one --
that's when your kid goes off to college
and you think they're gone, but they come back home.
[ Laughter ]
-They come right back.
-Yeah, so, obviously
I didn't throw that boomerang out far enough.
Because it's back already.
-What does she want to do?
-She wants to change the world, man.
You know, she got her degree in sociology and ethnic studies.
And she wants to write policy and change policy
and help disenfranchised people.
But I told her, I was like,
"Baby, first you got to secure the bag."
I was like, "Because you cannot help disenfranchised people
when you are disenfranchised."
[ Laughter ]
-You're a good dad.
-I offered -- This is what I did. True story.
I offered to get her a Chick-Fil-A,
and she turned me down.
-What do you mean, "get her Chick-Fil-A?"
-I was going to get her a restaurant.
I was going to invest in the company.
-Oh, I thought you meant
you were gonna get her a sandwich.
-No, no, no. [ Laughter ]
I was going -- I was going to invest in a restaurant
for her and have her, you know, own it and manage it.
And she's like, "No, I'm cool."
I was like...
-They want to do their own thing.
-Yeah, they want to do their own thing.
Man, I don't understand the youth of today.
-Now, you said Howard University.
That's your alma mater.
But is this true that you did not graduate?
-Who's snitching?
[ Laughter ]
And why you got to put my business
out on the street like that?
[ Laughter ]
I mean, in front of these fine people.
-I know, I'm just saying.
You told me that, I think.
-Yeah, I probably did.
I was paying for college myself.
And I ran out of money after my junior year.
I've been speaking with the university and Dr. Frederick,
who is the president of the university,
about creating a curriculum that I can take online and at home
and do some practical classes on campus
so I can walk with my son in 2022.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Is that right? -Yeah.
-If you do that -- -Yeah.
-If you do that, I'm gonna be crying.
-Okay, no.
No, that's what I'm doing.
-No way. Good for you.
-Yeah. So, I have four years to finish one year of college.
-Yeah. -Yeah, yeah.
-That's fantastic. I think that's great, buddy.
-That's my plan. [ Cheers and applause ]
-I love it. -Yeah.
-Did you see Shaq backstage?
-I saw the big fella.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Shaq is agile for a big dude.
And especially since he's out of playing shape,
he can still move.
-Yeah, he can move. -He can still move. Yeah, yeah.
-You think you move better than him?
-Uh...I think I can as a big man.
You know, but Shaq, Shaq taught me some moves,
you know, back in the day.
-He did? -Yeah, he did.
-He didn't teach the one you did at Madison Square Garden?
-Madison Square Garden. Shaq taught me how to do that.
You got a picture? -I got a picture.
'Cause I want -- I think you should have this framed.
This is you at Madison Square Garden.
-Let me see.
-Someone put on a beat and asked you to dance.
And this is what you did.
-That's what I did. Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Big fella taught me how to do that.
-Shaq taught you how to do that?
-Shaq taught fat Anthony how to do that.
-Come on.
-Now imagine what husky Anthony can do.
-Yeah, exactly. Now, husky.
You look great by the way, man. -Thank you, brother.
-Congrats on everything.
Every time I see you,
you're up for these awards and see you everywhere.
I'm rooting for you, pal.
-Thank you. I appreciate that.
-What's happening with this season of "Black-ish?"
-Oh man, we're going into our fifth season.
