-You know, I love having you back.
And I didn't know if you were going to come back.
-Why?
-Because the -- I don't know if you heard this.
The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl.
[ Cheers and applause ] ♪♪
-I mean, that was last year. Who cares?
-Oh, my gosh!
-You know what? You know what? Okay.
I was afraid to come back. -You were?
-Yeah.
-Because you knew The Roots would be --
-Well, not only -- All of them.
Usually, there's one or two in the hallway.
All of them were in the hallway this time,
just waiting for me.
-Just waiting like, "Hi, Michael!"
Yeah, what's up?"
-I tried to walk through and act like I didn't know them,
and they were like, "Oh, it's like that now?"
But we had a nice conversation. Congratulations, fellas.
After all those years of disappointment, you deserve it.
[ Laughter ]
-How do the Giants look this year?
They have a new coach. I met him.
-Yeah. -Pat Shurmur.
-Shurmur. He's good. I like him. He did a great job in Minnesota.
Should've been a head coach probably a long time ago.
So I'm happy with him. I think he's going to be great.
We got a revamped offensive line.
We got Saquon Barkley out of Penn State,
as a running back.
So I'm very confident that we could be knocking on the throne.
-Oh!
He says, "No." Yeah, yeah.
The one thing that I like about you is that
you do so many different things, but you do it all well.
-Thank you.
-But one thing that I just didn't know
that you did -- you went to Harvard?
-Yeah. Yeah, I went to Harvard, man.
I went to Harvard Business School.
Thank you. Thank you. -Yeah, congratulations on that.
Now, what was that like? And when did you go to Harvard?
-It was awesome. I went like three weeks ago.
[ Laughter ]
I went like three weeks ago.
And it was, like, a 4- or 5-day, like, business program.
-Oh, really? -I got a certificate.
And I got a lot of friends
who went for four years, got student loans.
I have no student loans and I got --
And I went to Harvard!
Yeah! -Harvard graduate!
-Yeah!
-I mean, that's what I'm talking about.
What is it? I don't understand.
-It was a business of entertainment, media,
and sports program that LL Cool J turned me onto.
And Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson turned me onto it.
And it was really cool.
You do all these case studies about different businesses.
And there were some athletes there.
But then there's some entertainment,
but mostly just business people.
But it was great to see, because as an athlete,
you're kind of isolated in a lot of ways.
-Yeah.
-But to be there with a lot of people in business
and feel like, "You know what?
Yeah, I can be comfortable and I belong in the business world."
And, for me, I've been out of it a while
and I've done things in business before.
A lot of the other athletes there,
from Lindsey Vonn to Chris Bosh, the soccer player Kaká,
which, you know -- I know --
What? Kaká? -Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry.
I have a brain of a 12-year-old boy.
-I do, too.
But to see these guys who are in a point in their career
where they're trying to find that transition --
-But you do all this cool stuff.
I mean, you have your own clothing line.
You have so many things going down.
Your own production company. -Mm-Hmm.
-You have "$100,000 Pyramid" that airs this Sunday.
-This Sunday. [ Cheers and applause ]
-"$100,000 Pyramid."
-And, this Sunday, you don't want to miss it.
-I know, because...
-Questlove is playing, everybody.
-Now, wait. [ Cheers and applause ]
I don't want to say, "How did he do?",
but how was he as a contestant?
-Well -- well, he was -- He was good.
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, my gosh.
-So, Quest -- Quest -- he was great.
But what I love is -- it's, like, a musical show.
So he's playing against Snoop Dogg.
So, you know, he and Snoop are going back and forth.
Quest -- I didn't know -- was such a big fan of the show
that he's like, "Michael, I got to come on the show.
I watch every episode. I study it."
And I'm like, "Dude, you need to get a life."
Like, you know...
But he was excellent.
-He studied the show.
-He studied the show. -You studied the "Pyramid"?
Like, the old -- the Dick Clark ones or --
-Yeah, I've collected all the episodes.
I studied them all.
-But you were good in the show. -It's been my dream.
-But I found out some interesting stuff.
He collects neck pillows, too.
You know how you go to the airport
and you buy a neck pillow?
He had over 300 neck pillows.
-Yeah. -What?
-Is that for real? -It used to be.
-Oh, my gosh.
That's so biz-- I did not know that.
-Oh, yeah.
-But on a music game,
I would never, ever play against Questlove.
He knows every single song ever in the whole wide world.
-He's very smart.
We had to tone him down, because he was using words
that we're like, "Quest, nobody's gonna --
Soliloquy -- they're not going to get whatever that...
You know, you got to be like,
"You know, it's, like, bubbly soda."
You know, it's like sparkling water."
"Yes, there you go." -Yeah, there you go.
-He was too smart for the game. We had to tone him down.
But you did great, man,
and I'm glad you came on and played.
-Thank you. Thanks for having me.
-And he looked at me and said, "You made my dreams come true."
And I really -- And it took me back.
I'm such a big fan, man.
I was honored that you could come and join us, seriously.
-I can't wait to watch this Sunday.
