## Transcript

For your late night highlight, Mariah Carey stopped by the Late Show for the first time since 2009, and talked to Dave about her adorable kiddos. Turns out little Morocco, AKA Rocky, is living up to his nickname. And now he's punching kids though. That's the problem. Eh, no big deal. These kids are bigger than him. They're older and he's going, he's knocking, knocking 'em out the box, [ CROSSTALK ] and I'm like oh, no. [ LAUGH ] Whoa. Well he you're looking at litigation now, my friend. Oh no. We can't. Well, hopefully Carey doesn't have to head to court over her three year old. You can see Rocky's little tough guy face on dad Nick Cannon's Instagram.

When the twins celebrated their birthday in April, he gave Rocky the hashtag LookAtMyToughGuy RockAboutToSetItOff. And his Mommy's about to set it off too. You can get Mariah's latest album Me, I Am Mariah, May 27th. Thanks for watching. I'm Lauren Zima.
