The monologue was primarily about Hart’s kids and how he wasn’t, at first, sold on the idea of having another child (he already has a 10 and a 12-year-old). But it was his take on the roles of men and women in child-rearing that kicked up a social media. You can watch the monologue in the video above. Also Read: Baldwin's Trump Returns...
