We've long known that Oprah and Tyler Perry have a certain bond. They've appeared on magazine covers together and bolstered each others' careers, and now they'll raise a child together—sort of. Oprah, Perry told Jimmy Fallon during an appearance on The Tonight Show, is the godmother of his 1-year-old son, Aman. 

We don't know what it's like to have Oprah as a godmother, but we can only assume it involves, "And you get a new toy! And you stop crying! And you wet the bed!" Not to mention she'll set the bar high for her godchildren—she is a self-made billionaire philanthropist who changed the world, after all. Proof of this is in her gift to Aman: A huge basket of books to last him from diapers to college. According to Perry, it's even labeled "Aman's Book Club." Way to stay on brand, O. 

Fallon and Perry also exchanged parenting jokes (Fallon has two small children of his own) and brainstormed titles for their own children's books: Tickle Me, Black Man and Daddy Stopped Drinking. Both sound like instant classics.
