[ laughter and applause ] >> steve: james. but what did they name your sister? what did they name your sister? >> jimmy: james.

during labor. con, mostly because of a 30-foot wind machine in the delivery room. [ laughter ] creates a nice effect. pro, getting to see jay-z changing his daughter's pampers. con, getting to see kayne west show up and say, "i'mma let you finish, but huggies pull-ups are the best diapers of all time!" [ applause ] he loves huggies pull-ups. and finally pro, this might spur them on to want more kids. con, if so, i'm available for adoption. come on! james!
