During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem “I Am Somebody,” a message focused on self-worth and empowerment
The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.
She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.
