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

“I wanted to do this because I always wanted to play sports since I was a little kid. And my brother could play… but they would always say, ‘Oh hello, little girl,’ and that always put me off,” she said.

Goldberg also discussed the recent election in the interview. When Fallon asked her if there was “anything left to say,” she replied, “No, I think we all get it.”

“It happened. For some of us, things went our way. For some of us it wasn’t like that. This is the nature of a choice. That’s what happens,” she added. “You don’t always like what you get. But if you don’t like it enough, you can go out and protest. That’s the beauty of America. So it happened, you know?”
