Nick Cannon: Mariah Carey is "so connected" as a mother

To say Nick Cannon is a busy man would be an understatement. In addition to his hosting gig on America's Got Talent, he recently brought back his hit sketch comedy and improv show, Wild 'N Out, and he's making plans to resurrect Soul Train. The San Diego-born star is also getting ready for the release of his latest album (his new song "Me Sexy" recently hit airwaves) later this year.

When he's not punching the clock, Cannon is spending time with his wife, Mariah Carey, and their two-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe. Cannon, 32, recently chatted about fatherhood and more with Parade.com while on hand at a Snapple Real Facts event in New York City.

On how he and wife Mariah Carey juggle busy careers and parenthood.

Family is always first. We're a 24-hour household. Someone is always up with the kids - we get to spend time with each other that way, up with the kids at three in the morning. We're constantly with each other. A lot of people have nine-to-fives where they have to be away from their family throughout the day, so I think we might even get to spend more time with our kids than most people because we don't work nine-to-five straight. Yesterday, I was flying a kite with my kid in the middle of the day, even though it wasn't a weekend, most people don't get to do that. It's a good lifestyle - even with our lifestyle, we still get to put family first.

On what it's like having two-year-olds running around the house.

It's fun. I think I have more fun with my kids than I've ever had. Like I said, flying a kite yesterday - the last time I did that I was a kid! Doing that type of stuff is amazing.

On what would surprise people to know about Mariah as a mom.

She cooks for the kids and helps them with their alphabet and their math. She's so connected and does everything you think a mother would do.

She's feeling much better. She still doesn't have full use of her right hand yet because of the nerve damage, but she'll heal up and hopefully be back to normal. Her shoulder is back in place and her ribs are feeling better, but she's just looking forward to using her hand again.

You have to use your ribs to sing and hit those notes, so for her to be able to hit those notes in that much pain was tremendous.
