"Cause I never married well," Goldberg joked. "If I had married well, believe me..."

"You wouldn't do any of this," Fallon interjected.

Goldberg shook her head in agreement.

"There's this new project here that you're going to announce tonight...it's a new sports network," Fallon continued.

"Yes, I'm launching the first global women's sports channel called AWSN," Goldberg revealed.

“It will be the home for live women's sports from around the world," she said. "Everything from soccer, basketball, tennis, cricket…if a woman is playing it, we are showing it.”

The star went on to talk about her inspiration for the network.

"I wanted to do this because ever since I was a little kid I always wanted to play sports. And my brother could play…but they would say, ‘Oh hi little girl' and it always p—ed me off,” she said.

Goldberg also touched on the recent election in the interview. When Fallon asked her if there was “anything left to be said," she answered, “No, I think we all get it."

"It happened. For some of us, it went our way. For some of us, it did not. This is the nature of an election. This is what happens," she added. "You do not always like what you get. But when you do not like it enough, you can get out there and protest. That is the beauty of America. So, it happened, you know?"
